Question 12 of 20 :

Biology

A; Carbon’s atomic number is 6, atomic number indicates the amount of protons in an atom. The number of protons (positively charged particles) is equal to the number of electrons (negatively charged particles). Because atoms have a neutral charge. The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011; this is the amount of protons plus the amount of neutrons because electrons are so small they weigh almost nothing compared to protons and neutrons. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the number of protons from the average atomic mass. 12.011-6=6.011 (which can just be rounded to 6). So a carbon atom has 6 neutrons. Answer A is correct because it correctly states that an atom of carbon has 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons

For all questions, assume that you have genes for beak color, tail-feather length, and feather color all linked (located) on the
Effectus [21]

1. If we cross YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) with yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits)

P:  YyLl  x  yyll

F1 generation: YyLl: 400 Yyll: 100 yyLl: 100 yyll: 400

Recombinant offspring are those children whose genes contain a non-parental allele combination  (neither allele group is directly inherited from either parent). This happens when genes are located on the same chromosome but are so far apart from one another so that their alleles get crossed over during meiosis. In this case, Yyll and yyLl are the recombinant.

2. Calculation of distance between Y and L.  

The numbers of the two recombinant types is 200 (100 Yyll + 100 yyLl) and 800 parental offspring.

Total number of offspring is 1000.

So: 200/1000*100=20 map units.

There is 20 percent recombinant offspring frequency.

Which situation would most likely increase the carrying capacity for humans
vredina [299]

C. A new source of freshwater

Explanation:

The situation that would most likely increase the carrying capacity for humans in a certain region is the availability of new sources of freshwater.

In ecological terms, the carrying capacity of a place is the the number of people, animals, or crops which a region can support without environmental degradation.

  • A new source of freshwater provides new resources for the ecosystem.
  • In the freshwater, more fishes are available, more plants can grow around and a lot of biological activities can progress.
  • Water is essential for life.
  • Fresh water sources are incentives for choosing to live in a place or not.
  • A fresh water source increases the carrying capacity for humans in a certain region.

Why might the cell theory actually be a law?
Sladkaya [172]

Due to a law being a predicted sort of event that is bound to happen every time, a pattern, we can say that since the cell theory is a pattern instead of a possible explanation, it can be a law. However, since we don't have an accurate explanation to the part which claims that they all come from pre-existing cells, it is a theory, we don't have enough information to confirm that the theory is a solid fact, therefore, we can't confirm that it is a law.
