Answer:

If the string of beads refer to a chromosome, then each bead is a gene responsible for one or more traits.

If the string of beads refer to a gene, then each bead refers to the sequence of nitrogenous bases in one strand of the gene.

Explanation:

A chromosome is composed of several genes.

A gene is composed of several nucleotides each containing a nitrogenous base. A gene is primarily made functional by the sequence of nitrogenous bases in its structure. If AGATTCA is a hypothetical sequence of the nitrogenous bases on one strand of a hypothetical gene then TCTAAGT will be the sequence of nitrogenous bases on the complementary strand of that particular gene.

Answer:

0.00568

Explanation:

Recall that the fraction of radioactive material left after a time (t) is obtained from the formula;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where;

N= mass of radioactive material left after a time t

No= mass of radioactive material initially present

t= time taken for N mass of radioactive substance to remain = 60.0 days

t1/2= half-life of the radioactive substance= 8.04 days

Note that the required fraction is N/No, hence;

N/No= (1/2)^60.0/8.04

N/No= (1/2)^7.46

N/No = 0.00568
