Answer is C. The man is twenty thousand (2 x 10⁴) times larger than the paramecium.

1 meter (m) = 10⁶ micrometers (µm)

Therefore, 1.7 m = 1.7 × 10⁶ µm

Thus, the length of the man compared to the length of the paramecium will be

1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2× 10⁴ .  

Therefore, length of the man is  2× 10⁴ times larger than the length of the paramecium.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The given question requires the knowledge of the standard unit meter. By convention, the meter can be converted into micrometers in order to come to the conclusion. 1 meter is equal to 10⁶ micrometers. Thus, 1.7 meters = 1.7 × 10⁶ micrometers.  

There is a need to divide the height of the man with the length of the paramecium, which is 85 micrometers long.  

Therefore, the length of the man in comparison to the length of the paramecium will be:  

1.7 × 10⁶ / 85 = 2 × 10⁴

Hence, the length of the man is 2 × 10⁴ times larger in comparison to the length of the paramecium.

You have identified a previously unknown human gene that appears to have a role in autism. It is similar enough in DNA sequence
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Amino acid sequences

Explanation:

The proteins perform the vast majority of functions in the cells. If a gene between a human and a mouse is evolutionarily related, it means that the function they do in the cell is quite similar in both species. This is the reason why the amino acid sequence would be the most similar.

In addition, there might be certain mutations in the DNA and therefore in the RNA between this 2 sequences that encode to the same amino acid sequence. More specifically speaking, there are more than one codon that encode to the same aminoacid. Thus, 2 different DNA/RNA sequence can give the same aminoacid sequence.

Of the choices below, which best describes the effect predation has on the predator/prey organisms involved in the relationship?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. benefit ... harmed

Explanation:

Predation is a type of interaction between two individuals in which one individual gets harmed which is called prey and another organism who is predator gets benefitted.

In predation, the predator kills its prey and consume it to survive. For example, Lion is a predator and deer is the prey so during predation lion kills the deer and consume it so here lions get benefited by consuming deer and deer is harmed as it lost its life. So the correct answer is C. benefit ... harmed.

The traits for blood type and Rh are the result of the presence or absence of particular on the erythrocytes.g
just olya [345]

Answer: Antigens

Explanation: The ABO system of blood grouping is based on the basis of the type of antigens that are present in the red blood cells. Erythrocytes is another name for the red blood cells. Antigens are molecules that are capable of eliciting immune response. There are two types of antigens: antigen A and B. Blood type A has only antigen A, blood type B has only antigen B, blood type AB has both antigen A and B while blood type O has no antigen (neither A nor B antigen).

Similarly, Rh trait is determined by the presence or absence of rhesus antigen in the erythrocytes. Rhesus antigen is an antigen first discovered in rhesus monkey. Rh+ indicates the presence of rhesus antigen in the red blood cells while Rh- indicates the absence of rhesus antigen in the red blood cells.

In your own words define what "Social Darwinism" is. How did this theory allow or promote imperialism?
Yuliya22 [10]
"Social Darwinism<span> is a modern name given to various theories of society that emerged in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Western Europe in the 1870's, and which are claimed to have applied biological concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest to sociology and politics", so, in therory, it would allow AND promote imperialisim, as many people are not within the same level of society.</span>
