The question above is incomplete, the options attached to the question are:
A. Poor Hygiene.
B. Toothpick
C. Employee snacking
D. Virus.

ANSWER
The correct option is D.
Biological contaminants in form of different types of bacteria, viruses and other parasites are the biggest cause of food borne illnesses. Food borne illnesses occur by consuming foods that have been contaminated by these microorganisms. Common symptoms of food borne illnesses are: vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, fever, etc. Incubation period of these biological contaminants can range from few hours to one week. <span />

The process of translation in prokaryotes can occur faster than in eukaryotes because
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Transcription and translation occur simultaneously in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles and therefore, do not have a nucleus. Transcription and translation occur in the cytoplasm. As soon as the required length of mRNA is being formed, ribosomes join it and start the process of translation. Prokaryotic genes lack introns. The primary transcript formed by transcription in prokaryotes does not undergo splicing.

On the other hand, the process of transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes while translation occurs in the cytoplasm. The primary transcript formed by transcription in eukaryotes undergoes modifications to remove introns and to add a poly-A tail and 5' cap. Post-transcriptional modifications and spatial separation of two processes in eukaryotes result in slower translation than prokaryotes.

12. Se obtienen 500 mL de CO2 en el laboratorio a una temperatura de 18 °C y una presión de 560 mmHg. El volumen que ocupa a con
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A. 345,6 mL

Explanation:

Tenemos un gas definido en ciertas condiciones (de presión, temperatura y volumen) y queremos saber el volumen que ocupará en condiciones normales de presión y temperatura, es decir, 1 atm y 0ºC.

Para resolver este problema utilizaremos la ecuación de los gases ideales:

pV=nRT

Ya tenemos todos los datos, y sólo nos resta calcular n, el número de moles. R es la constante de los gases, la cual tiene el valor redondeado de 0.082 L.atm/mol.K, por lo cual es importante convertir las unidades para que éstas se cancelen y den como resultado los moles de gas.

Dividimos 560 en 760 para pasar de mmHg a atm, 500 mL se dividen por 1000mL para pasar a litros, y a la temperatura de 18ºC se le suman 273 para pasarla a Kelvin.

Despejamos n de la ecuación:

n=p.V ÷ R.T

n= 0.740 atm × 0.50 L ÷ 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 291 K

n= 0.0155 mol

Ahora que tenemos el número de moles del gas, podemos usar la ecuación nuevamente para calcular el volumen que tendrá el gas en condiciones normales (1 atm y 0ºC, o 273 K).

Despejamos V de la ecuación:

V= n.R.T ÷ p

V= 0.0155 mol × 0.082 L.atm/mol.K × 273 K ÷ 1 atm

V= 0.346 L ≈ 346 mL

El volumen que ocupará el mismo gas a condiciones normales será 346 mL, por ende la respuesta correcta es la A. Hay una pequeña discrepancia pero ésta es normal, se debe al redondeo del resultado al final (acá redondeo 345.6 a 346).

The chromosome number of a human female is 44 + XX; of a male, 44 + XY. TrueFalse
s2008m [1.1K]

it is true that male genotype is XY and female genotype is XX but therefore a female does not contain a 44 number of gene(chromosome) each pair of a human "gene" have 23. in ym case it it false
