Answer:

The probability that both will be Rh-negative out of 99% Rh-positive is 0.01 x 0.01 = 0.0001.

Explanation:

The population contain 99℅ of Rh-positive. This represent almost all of the people.

However, there is still 1℅ chance of having an individual of Rh-negative.

Both of them will have the probability of 1℅ of having Rh-negative(0.01).

Therefore, Pr(Rh-negative AND Rh-negative) = 0.01 x 0.01. The result is approximately equals zero.

The both parents having Rh-negative, will have a dominant Rh-negative blood passed to their children, only recessive Rh-positive of 25℅ chance.

Since the chance of Rh-negative blood passed to their children is 75℅, it is inevitable that their children will be Rh-negative

How would both the results of the hershey–chase experiment and conclusions drawn have been different if the viral dna had been a
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The bacterial pellet would have contained both isotopes, making it unclear which substance was the genetic material.

Explanation:

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, those of the even T series (T2, T4 and T6). Hershey and Chase work with viruses that attack the enterobacteria Escherichia coli. Bacteriophages consisting of DNA viruses with a protein coat (capsid)

The infection process is that the virus injects its DNA into the bacteria. This viral DNA is inserted into the bacteria's DNA, which begins to make new copies (offspring) of the virus. After 25 minutes of injecting the DNA, the bacteria (host cell) explode, releasing hundreds of new bacteriophages. Since phages have only DNA and proteins, they were the appropriate tool to reveal the chemical nature of the hereditary material.

In 1952, Hershey and Chase designed an experience to find out if the inheritance was communicated by DNA or by proteins. They used radioactive labeling techniques to build two different types of phage populations (both T2). A population of phages grew in a medium containing the radioactive isotope S35. The S35 marks the proteins that contain the amino acids cysteine ​​or methionine and therefore this population contains radioactive proteins and not radioactive DNA, since the DNA does not contain sulfur. The second population of virus grew in a medium containing P32. P32 marks nucleic acids, but not proteins, so that this population contains radioactive DNA and non-radioactive proteins. Both types of viruses were used separately to infect susceptible E. coli cells.

What are air particles doing in an undisturbed state?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Air particles are a mixture of solids and liquids that are microscopically tiny and suspended by air currents. It can stay in the atmosphere for a few hours to a month or two. Their constituents can be various harmful substances such as heavy metals - lead, nickel, arsenic, cadmium or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Explanation:

Air particles, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone are now considered to be the three most polluting substances in human health. Exposure during peak concentration and long-term exposure to these pollutants can cause damage from respiratory distress to premature death.

What is the relative humidity percentage when the “real feel” is 108 degrees F and the temperature is 96 degrees F?
artcher [175]

Answer:

The answer is B. Relative humidity percentage will be 50 %.

Explanation:

Relative humidity is the percentage of water vapors in the air at a particular temperature compared to the how much it can hold at that temperature. if the relative humidity is high (100%) we feel hotter than the actual temperature because water will not evaporate due to air saturation. in this case as the real feel is 108 F at 96 F the relative humidity will be 50 %.
