Does 68% of the electrical energy in the United states produced by nuclear fuel

No, although it has increased in recent years as new, more efficient power stations have been built.

In 2014 only 19.5% of all power generated in the USA came from nuclear power.

Figures for 2010 showed that nuclear power provided even less, with the split being as follows:

25% petroleum
22% coal
22% natural gas
8.4% nuclear
8% renewable energy

Mendel knew that the variations in the offspring generations resulted from his experiments because he

sasho [114]

Mendel was able to attribute the variation observed in the offspring of his experiment to the controlled fertilization process.

Mendel was able to control pollination and, thus, the fertilization process in the pea plants used for his experiment.

Mendel was able to effectively predict the outcome with self-pollination or cross-pollination with different results coming from each. Thus, he logically concluded that the variation observed in the offspring of his crosses is due to the fact that he controlled the fertilization process.

Analyze the data about nitrogenous base content of DNA from various species. Percentages of Bases in Five Organisms Source of DN

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

When analyzing data on the nitrogenous base content of the DNA of various species, the claims are supported by the data:

In any one species, the amount of adenine closely approximates that of thymine.
In any one species, the amount of guanine closely approximates that of cytosine.
The amounts of A, T, G, and C in DNA varies from species to species.

(options A, B and D)

Explanation:

Organizing the data has to:

Source of DNA A T G C

Streptococcus 29.8 31.6 20.5 18.0

Yeast 31.3 32.9 18.7 17.1

Herring 27.8 27.5 22.2 22.6

Human 30.9 29.4 19.9 19.8

E. Coli 24.7 23.6 26.0 25.7

DNA is the molecule that contains the genetic information of each species, formed by sequences of nitrogenous bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.

Since Adenine and Thymine -as well as Cytosine and Guanina- are complementary, the percentage of them will be very similar in each DNA molecule.

The genetic information -which determines the physical and functional characteristics of each organism- is encoded in the DNA and is different for each species, so the percentages of nitrogenous bases vary from species to species.

Cytoskeletal elements play important roles in cell division. The mitotic spindle apparatus is made of ________ and pulls sister

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Cytoskeletal elements play important roles in cell division. The mitotic spindle apparatus is made of "microtubules" and pulls sister chromatids apart, whereas the contractile ring is made of "actin filaments" and required for the separation of daughter cells at the end of the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

The three chief organizational apparatuses of the cytoskeleton are microtubules (formed by tubulins), microfilaments (formed by actins) and intermediate filaments. All three apparatuses cooperate with each other non-covalently. The cytoskeleton is composed of protein filaments and is found throughout the inside of a eukaryotic cell. The cytosol is the main component of the cytoplasm, the fluid that fills the inside of the cell. The cytoplasm is everything in the cell except for the cytoskeleton and membrane-bound organelles.

Select all items that describe the Amish culture. a. speak Creole or Spanish b. wear simple clothing c. embrace technology d. li

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Simple clothing, living in farming communities and using horse- driven vehicles best describes Amish culture.

Explanation:

The simple clothing concept of Amish culture shows their modesty. The women wear long and simple dresses that goes all the way down to their knees and they also cover their hair. They believe wearing simple dress is a way of keeping their hearts pure.

Amish people use buggy or horse driven vehicles and not cars because they believe that the innovation in technology has the potential to bring assimilation into the surrounding society.

They mostly live in farming communities which are located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Central American and even in Canada.
