A. Divide the total amount of grass eaten by all sheep in the valley by 20,000.
B. Determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep.
C. Choose a random value to use as the daily amount of grass eaten by one sheep.
D. Measure the amount of grass eaten per day by a single sheep.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep".

Explanation:

One common approach to study a population with a very large number of individuals is to randomly select a sample and perform the study on it. This approach has the advantage that any individual could be selected, which makes more feasible that the sample is representative of the population. In this case, to know the average amount of grass eaten per day by an actual sheep to make a simulation of 20,000 sheep, it is feasible to determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep. The 20 sheep must be studied determining the average amount of grass eaten and the variability among the population.

Cats have a gene that codes for the color of their fur.
madam [21]
Punnet square
Let's call black 'B' and white 'b'
Being intermediate, gray cats will have the alleles 'Bb'
Being recessive, white cats will have the alleles 'bb'
          <u>       Gray  </u>
          |<u>  </u>|<u>  B   |  b |</u>
White |b|<u>  Bb | bb|</u>
          |b|<u>  Bb | bb|
</u>
^Apologies for the awful drawing XD

Bb = Gray
bb = White
So the cats can have gray or white fur (A)

Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacterial cells by disrupting the formation of cell walls. However, the pARA-R plasmid ha
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: To eliminate bacteria that failed to take in the plasmid.

Explanation:

Research shows that plasmid DNA is only taken in by small percentage of bacteria in a large population.

Therefore, the need of growing transformed bacteria in the presence of ampicillin is very important. The main reason of this process is to kill off or eliminate bacteria that have failed to take in the plasmid, due to their possession of recombinant DNA plasmid pARA-R (an ampicillin resistance gene), that allows them to survive.

However, after completion of the aforementioned procedure, the bacteria that have been transformed will be able to take in the plasmid.

In your own words.. i’ll mark brainliest <br> why do cells function better as smaller units
Tatiana [17]

Explanation:

Cells function better at smaller units because if each cell had more areas in the body to take care of, they would need to do more hard work then they already do. Also, if we got scraped, we would lose less small cells then bigger cells. I hope this helped you!
