Bacteria grow in a culture at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially, 300 strands of the bacteria are in the cultu

re and after two hours that number has grown by 20 percent. Find (a) an expression for the approximate number of strands in the culture at any time t and (b) the time needed for the bacteria to double its initial size.

Answer:

(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)

(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.

Explanation:

(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n

t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)

Since t = kn, then, n = t/k

(b) Initial amount of strands = 300

Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360

k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand

Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)

Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours

In horses, Chesnut hair color is recessive to black. The pacing gait is recessive to trotting and long hair is recessive to shor
Vitek1552 [10]

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotypic ratio showing traits as black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair when a chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length with a hybrid horse.

Explanation:

Dominant trait = black hair colour (BB,Bb), trotting (TT,Tt) , long hair (LL,Ll)

recessive trait = chesnut hair colour (bb), pacing gait (tt), short hair(ll)

cross between chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length will have alleles as BbLl

alleles for hybrid horse will also be heterozygous Bb, Ll

Punnett square to show the cross:

      BL         Bl       bL         bl

BL  BBLL  BBLl     BbLL    BbLl

Bl   BBLl    BBll     BbLl      Bbll

bL  BbLL  BbLl      bbLL     bbLl

bl    BbLl  Bbll       bblL        bbll

phenotype ratio

black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotype ratio.

What is the difference from o to m
3241004551 [841]

Letter M is in between L and N. So like this LMN and o is in between N and P. So like this NOP. So technically the difference from o to m is just one of N.
