Answer:

Nerve agent

Explanation:

A nerve agent is a chemical in which on exposure to humans affects the functioning of the nervous system. These chemicals are known to disrupt the process by which messages are transferred to the organs from the nerve. This disruption occurs by blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the catabolism of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.  

On exposure to a nerve agent, the muscles of the body become paralyzed and early symptoms is production of excess mucous such as in runny nose, pupil constriction and also difficulty in breathing.

These agents are sometimes used in chemical warfare. Examples include sarin, tabun etc.

A forensic scientist in using a standard biological microscope with 15 objective and 5 eyepiece to examine a hair from a crime s
SIZIF [17.4K]

The given data is Magnification, M = 15

Length of the tube , L = 16 cm

The focal length of the lens can be calculated by:

M = L/F

Substituting the value, we get:

15 = 16/f

f = 16/15

f = 1.067 cm

Using the equation of magnification we get,

M = v/u

Substituting the values we get:

15 = v/u

v = 15 u

With the help of lens formula, calculate the object distance:

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

Substituting the value we get,

1/1.067 = 1/15u + 1/u

0.937 = 1.067/u

u = 1.13 cm or 1.1 cm.

Hence, the object distance is 1.1 cm.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

El flujo de la energía es unidireccional.

Coin flipping simulates the events of mitosis and the production of sperm or eggs
a_sh-v [17]
Coin flipping simulates the events of mitosis and the production of sperm. This is because females carry XX chromosomes so all eggs will have a singular X chromosome. It is the sperm that determines the sex of the foetus: males have XY chromosomes and therefore sperm will carry either X or Y chromosomes (a 50/50 chance, just like flipping a coin)
