Can you guys check my answer to this? I think its C but I'm not really sure. Could you please help? This is the question: The mi

tochondrial DNA sequence that is shared by two species has a steady mutation rate. Scientists determine the sequences of these two species to be as follows:
 
Species A: CAGGCCATTATG
Species B: CCAGCCTATAGG
 
This DNA sequence has a known mutation rate, which the scientists used to calculate that the species diverged from a common ancestor 80 million years ago. Using this information, how much more time do you predict will pass before these species differ by a total of eight base pairs?
A.) 160 million years
B.) 32 million years
C.) 48 million years
D.) 240 million years

A population of squirrels living in a little habitat covering 150 hectares is at 80% of the carrying capacity of 1500. Assuming
Kay [80]
Population density  =number  of   individual  divided  land  area
land  area  should  be  in  square kilometers
therefore 120  ha  =120  x0.01=1.2 square kilometer  since   1 ha=0.01  kilometer  square
total  population=  (80  x  1500)/100=1200
population  density   is therefore=1200/1.2=1000

Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. Appalachian 2. North American Cordillera 3. Aleutian 4. Andes A. Two continents
melisa1 [442]

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.

Imagine that zika virus has a 1% incidence in the population. A test for the virus has a 3% false positive rate and no false neg
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The answer is 97%.

Explanation:

The zika virus' 1% incidence rate in the population has no effect over the probability of the patient being infected or not. If the test has a 3% false positive rate that means that if it is positive, the results have a 97% chance of being true. Therefore the chance that the person who took the test and had a positive result being actually infected is 97%.

I hope this answer helps.
