In Chinese hamster cell colonies it was found that the inactivation constant in the MTSH model is approximately 3.125 Gy-1 if 25

0 kVp X-ray is used. If Co-60 gammas are used to produce the same biological end point, the required dose is 160 cGy. It is further known that the biological effectiveness of neutrons at this endpoint is 4.0. What is the biological effectiveness of the Co irradiation with respect to the neutron irradiation

Answer: A. 20

Explanation:

Radiation dose = 160 cG, or

Radiation dose = 160 x 10-2 G

Radiation dose = 1.6 G

The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) on neutron irradiation is then calculated with the formula:

RBE of Co-60 = inactivation constant x dose x neutron irradiation

getting:

Co-60 RBE = 3,125 x 1.6 x 4

Outcome:

RBE of Co-60 = 20

which shows that option A is correct

What do the letters inside the grid of a punnett square represent?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Genotype of the offspring

Explanation:

Punnet square is a diagram which is used to predict and show the genotype of offspring that is produced by a cross between male and female gametes. This approach was given by Reginald C. Punnett.

Each grid have a genotype that can determine the phenotype of offspring. The letters used in to fill these grids can be made up of uppercase letters, lower case letters or both. The allele shown in upper case letters shows that the allele is dominant and the allele which is in lowercase letter is a recessive allele.

Therefore the letters inside the grid of a punnet square represents the genotype of the offsprings.

Which structural characteristic is found in both plant and animal cells?
defon


The best answer is A.

Mitochondria are small organelles found floating  free in the cytoplasm of both animal and plant cells. They consist of two membranes, an outer and inner membrane which has numerous folds creating layered structures called cristae.Inside the mitochondria, there is found  fluid called the matrix

 Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cells. Many of the reactions in cellular respiration that take place in the cell occur in mitochondria and thus these organelles are key in the production of energy .

How does carbon dioxide affect the ecosystem
FrozenT [24]

As a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat, CO2 raises the temperature of the atmosphere. We refer to this as global warming. The glaciers will melt more quickly as the world's temperature rises, raising sea levels and bringing on disaster. More power is consumed for air conditioning as the temperature rises, which further raises the air's CO2 level.

Since coal is the primary fuel utilized in the creation of power. This creates a vicious cycle.
