Answer:

Explanation:

the same question  was in my book hehehe so i am telling this from my book

Drift velocity: 3.32\cdot 10^{-4}m/s

2) 5.6\cdot 10^{13} electrons per person

For a current flowing through a conductor, the drift velocity of the electrons is given by the equation:

v_d=\frac{I}{neA}

where

I is the current

n is the concentration of free electrons

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the electron charge

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

The cross-sectional area can be written as

A=\pi r^2

where r is the radius of the wire. So the equation becomes

In this problem, we have:

I = 8.0 A is the current

is the concentration of free electrons

d = 1.5 mm is the diameter, so the radius is

r = 1.5/2 = 0.75 mm =0.75.10^-3m

Therefore, the drift velocity is:

vd=8.0/(8.5.10^28)(1.6.10^19)π(0.75.10^-3)^2=3.32.10^-4m/s

2)The total length of the cord in this problem is

L = 3.00 m

While the cross-sectional area is

A=π ^2=π (0.75.10^-3)^2=1.77.10^-6m^2

Therefore, the volume of the cord is

V=AL(1)

The number of electrons per unit volume is n, so the total number of electrons in this cord is

N=nV=nAL=(8.5.10^28)(1.77.10^-6)(3.0)=4.5.10^23

In total, the Earth population consists of 8 billion people, which is

N^1=8.10^9

Therefore, the number of electrons that each person would get is:

N^e=N/N^1=4.5.10^23/8.10^9=5.6.10^13

hope it helps

Answer:

1. replication

2. gene

3. strand polarity

4. translation

5. complementary base pairing

6. chromosome

7. antiparallel

8. transcription

9. allele

Explanation:

1. Replication is the process by which DNA is duplicated or the process of making another copy of DNA.

2. Gene is the physical unit of heredity i.e a segment of DNA transferred from parents to offsprings. A gene also encodes a useful products such as protein.

3. A DNA strand is a polar molecule, which is attributed to the phosphate group at the 5'-end of DNA and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA.

4. Translation is the process whereby the information in a mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a protein.

5. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby Adenine (A) binds to thymine (T), guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C).

6. A chromosome contains of single long molecule of DNA coiled together around histone proteins. The chromosome is associated with different types of proteins.

7. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, one strand runs from 5' to 3' and the other runs from 3' to 5'. This is called ANTIPARALLEL nature of DNA.

8. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA single strand.

9. Allele is the alternative or contrasting form of a gene. Each allele is contributed by each parent
