I am 100% sure it is 10 AMUS

The right answer is 10 amu.

The unit of unified atomic mass, of symbol "u", is a standard unit of measure, used to express the mass of atoms and molecules.

This unit does not belong to the International System (SI), and its value is obtained experimentally. It is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a nuclide 12C (carbon 12), unbound at rest and in its ground state. In other words, a 12C atom has a mass of exactly 12u, and a mole of 12C atoms (N atoms, where N is the number of Avogadro) has a mass of exactly 12g. As a result, 1 u is approximately 1.660 538 921 × 10-27 kg.

The average mass of a nucleon depends on the total number of nucleons in the atomic nucleus, because of the mass defect. This is why the mass of a proton or a neutron taken separately is strictly greater than 1 u.

In the nucleus, we can see that there are 10 nucleons (protons and neutrons) so the mass of the atom is close to 10amu.

The genes R, E and D are independently assorting and control production of red pigment as follows (recessive alleles are not fun
Alona [7]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).

<u>The parental cross was:</u>

RREEDD x rreedd

F1: RrEeDd

<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.

The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.

<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>

1/2 Rr

1/2 rr

<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>

1/2 Ee

1/2 ee

<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>

1/2 Dd

1/2 dd

Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:

1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8

A record of Earth's long-ago weather can be found by digging into the
Feliz [49]

Answer: Option A.

Polar ice cap in Antarctica.

Explanation:

Scientist drill ice cores from inside the polar ice cap in Antarctica to study variability of climate and differentiate that variability From global climate change. Each layer of the ice tells about weather and what the Earth was like when the first snow fell.

For example, Le grande says that as snow deposits into a growing glacier, the temperature of the air imprints on water molecules.

Icy layers hold particles,aerosols, sea salts, trace elements that were in the atmosphere before and they abide for thousands of years and provide evidence of past events.

How is it possible that viral dna can be inserted into the genome of bacteria?.
zepelin [54]

Viral DNA can be inserted into the genome of bacteria by manipulating a specific enzyme known as DNA ligase.

<h3>What is DNA ligase?</h3>

This is a special enzyme found in humans and other forms of DNA. The role of the DNA ligase enzyme is to fuse together distinct strands of DNA. By manipulating this enzyme, scientists have achieved genetic modification.

Therefore, we can confirm that due to the successful manipulation of an enzyme known as DNA ligase, scientists have been able to insert viral DNA into the genome of bacteria.
