Answer:

Earth's capacity

Many scientists think Earth has a maximum carrying capacity of 9 billion to 10 billion people. [How Do You Count 7 Billion People?]

One such scientist, the eminent Harvard University sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson, bases his estimate on calculations of the Earth's available resources. As Wilson pointed out in his book "The Future of Life" (Knopf, 2002), "The constraints of the biosphere are fixed."

Aside from the limited availability of freshwater, there are indeed constraints on the amount of food that Earth can produce, just as Malthus argued more than 200 years ago. Even in the case of maximum efficiency, in which all the grains grown are dedicated to feeding humans (instead of livestock, which is an inefficient way to convert plant energy into food energy), there's still a limit to how far the available quantities can stretch. "If everyone agreed to become vegetarian, leaving little or nothing for livestock, the present 1.4 billion hectares of arable land (3.5 billion acres) would support about 10 billion people," Wilson wrote.

The 3.5 billion acres would produce approximately 2 billion tons of grains annually, he explained. That's enough to feed 10 billion vegetarians, but would only feed 2.5 billion U.S. omnivores, because so much vegetation is dedicated to livestock and poultry in the United States.

So 10 billion people is the uppermost population limit where food is concerned. Because it's extremely unlikely that everyone will agree to stop eating meat, Wilson thinks the maximum carrying capacity of the Earth based on food resources will most likely fall short of 10 billion. [When Will Earth Run Out of Food?]

According to population biologist Joel Cohen of Columbia University, other environmental factors that limit the Earth's carrying capacity are the nitrogen cycle, available quantities of phosphorus, and atmospheric carbon concentrations, but there is a great amount of uncertainty in the impact of all of these factors. "In truth, no one knows when or at what level peak population will be reached," Cohen told Life's Little Mysteries.

The type of RNA that delivers amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis is tRNA.a) trueb) false
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A). True

Explanation:

tRNA, which means transfer RNA is one of the three types of RNA known in nature. The tRNA is found in the ribosome, where it plays a pivotal role in protein synthesis (translation). Transfer RNA is the RNA responsible for reading the nucleotides in the mRNA codon and carrying the amino acid that corresponds those codons to the ribosome.

The tRNA has a 3-dimensional structure that allows it to carry anticodon that reads codon and also carry amino acids on opposite ends. Hence, according to this question, tRNA is a type of RNA that delivers amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Please HELP////2. A couple are both phenotypically normal, but their son suffers from hemophilia, a sex-linked recessive disorde
katrin [286]

Answer:

1/4 suffer from hemophilia

1/4 are heterozygous

Explanation:

So since they are normal but their son isn't it is assumed that the mom is the carrier since the dad has to be X^HY

X^HY x  X^HX^h

Set up a pedigree

X^HX^H X^HX^h

X^HY     X^hY

1/4 suffer from hemophilia (X^h)

1/4 are heterozygous (X^HX^h)
