Answer:

Explanation:

Lipids are not primary energy molecules. Carbohydrates are the primary energy compound and immediately release energy. While lipids require time in the release of energy that's why they are not in primary energy use.

In humans there is a dominant allele (A) for the absence of moles; while the recessive allele (a) results in the presence of mol

Art [367]

Answer:

a. $(p + q)^7$ = $p^7q^0+7p^6q+21p^5q^2+35p^4q^3+35p^3q^4+21p^2q^5+7pq^6+p^0q^7$

b. i. 0.75

ii. 0.000061

iii. 0.012

iv. 0.17

c. 0.67

Explanation:

a. The expansion of the binomial (p + q)7 would be such that:

$(p + q)^7$ = $p^7q^0+7p^6q+21p^5q^2+35p^4q^3+35p^3q^4+21p^2q^5+7pq^6+p^0q^7$

b. Both couples are heterozygous:

Aa x Aa

AA Aa Aa aa

Since A is dominant over a,

probability of having mole (aa) = 1/4

probability of not having moles = 3/4

Therefore, the probability of the first child not having moles = 3/4 or 0.75

ii. Let the probability of not having mole = p and the probability of having mole = q. From the binomial expansion:

$(p + q)^7$ = $p^7q^0+7p^6q+21p^5q^2+35p^4q^3+35p^3q^4+21p^2q^5+7pq^6+p^0q^7$

Probability that all of the children will have moles = $p^0q^7$

since p = 3/4 and q = 1/4

$p^0q^7$ = $(3/4)^0(1/4)^7$ = 0.000061

iii. Probability that the first two children will have no moles and the last five will have moles = $21p^2q5$

= $21(3/4)^2(1/4)^5$

= 0.012

iv. Probability that 4 will have no moles and 3 will have moles out of the 7 children = $35p^4q^3$

= $35(3/4)^4(1/4)^3$

= 0.17

c. Probability that the child born without moles is a carrier of the a-allele = probability of heterozygous.

From the cross in (b), the genotypes of those born without moles are AA and 2Aa. Therefore, the probability of not having moles and be Aa is:

= 2/3 or 0.67

Which of the following correctly matches a component of the cytoskeleton to one of its functions? 1) intermediate filaments cont

kotykmax [81]

The right answer is 4).

The cytoskeleton is made up of biological polymers of proteins, sometimes called fibers because of their large size at the cellular level. They are classified into three categories:

Microfilaments: involves in cytoplasmic phenomena (division, endocytosis, migration).

Intermediate filaments: Maintenance of the nucleus structure.

Microtubules: Involved in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.

Which is an unseen factor that affects the carrying capacity of the ocean?(1 point)

slega [8]

Sunlight is an unseen factor that affects the carrying capacity of the ocean.

<h3>What is Carrying capacity?</h3>

Carrying capacity may be defined as the maximum number of individuals that can be supported by a habitat.

The other options under this question are water chemistry, water availability, space, and sunlight.

Water availability and space both are unlimited in the ocean habitat, while the water chemistry remains the same throughout the ocean.

Therefore, sunlight is an unseen factor that affects the carrying capacity of the ocean.

Based on this population growth graph, what can be determined about the population?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Typically, your graph is going to have population on the y-axis and some ... it will show zero growth, which will result in a slope of zero: a horizontal line. ... and the area on the graph identified as such will not be a flat line
