What features of ionizing radiation make it a good choice for killing microbes in packaged materials?

Biology
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Normally sterilizing food using radiation does not induce radioactivity but sometimes it may change the taste, texture of the food and it may also destroy the nutrients. radiation is used to kill the harmful bacteria and to increase the shelf life. when the radiation is very energetic it alters the food structure but it does not make it radioactive. To become radioactive one has to make a nucleus unstable. ionizing radiation normally cannot do this. FDA has established maximum energy levels for radiation to prevent the treated foods from becoming radioactive. The energy levels of the rays are too low to induce radioactivity in the food. So there is no harm in consuming treated foods.

Fruit flies have 8 chromosomes in their body cells, while dandelion cells have 16 chromosomes. Which species do you predict make
Finger [1]

Answer:

I think this might be the answer

Explanation: The answer is the same for every diploid species. It is half the number of chromosomes in somatic (body) cells. The number of cells in gametes (sex cells) is n and the number in somatic cells is 2n. For fruit flies gametes have 4 chromosomes, for mice, 20, for humans 23, for chimpanzees 24.

Hope this helps and stay safe.

How much of a cell’s life is taken up by MITOSIS based on your data? 100=(16/36)*100
nordsb [41]
<span>All living things are made up of cells, and depending on how complex the organism is, it may have one cell, like a bacterium, or trillions of cells, like humans. The question is, how does a fertilized human embryo with one cell develop into an adult with 5 trillion cells? The answer is in a process referred to as cell division. A single fertilized human egg cell will divide to produce two cells. The two cells have the same genetic information as each other and the parent cell. The cells will continue to divide until trillions of cells are produced. This is how a fertilized egg grows into a baby, and then an adult. This division of cells is referred to as mitosis.</span>
