Answer:

7.112× 10⁸.

Explanation:

The length of DNA is 2.5 nm = 2.5 × 10⁻⁹m.

The average human length = 5 ft 10 in = 70 inch.

1 inch = 0.0254  m.

70 inch = 70 × 0.0254 = 1.778  m.

Number of DNA molecules = length of man / length of DNA.

Number of DNA molecules = 1.778  m / 2.5 × 10⁻⁹m.

Number of DNA molecules = 7.112× 10⁸.

Thus, the answer is 7.112× 10⁸.

Explain how to estimate a population using random sampling
Nina [5.8K]
Subjects in the population are sampled by a random process, using either a random number generator or a random number table, so that each person remaining in the population has the same probability of being selected for the sample.

How to Estimate a Population Total from a Simple Random Sample

1. This lesson describes how to estimate a population total, given survey data from a simple random sample. ...

2. Sample mean = x = Σx / n.

3. Population total = t = Nx.

4. where N is the number of observations in the population, and x is the sample mean.

A simple random sample is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen. ... In this case, the population is all 250 employees, and the sample is random because each employee has an equal chance of being chosen.

Random sampling is a part of the sampling technique in which each sample has an equal probability of being chosen. A sample chosen randomly is meant to be an unbiased representation of the total population.

How does independent assortem increase genetic diversy​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Genetic diversity is increased by independent assortment (genes are inherited independently of each other) and crossing over during meiosis. During meiosis, chromosomes (which are found in pairs) swap large portions of their molecules, causing genetic material to be mixed between them.
