A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance

of the first device is 12 ohms, the resistance of the second device is 4 ohms, and the voltage developed by the generator is 40 V. What is the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device?

Parallel circuits are circuits when placed in a parallel position. Meaning that for each device, they have their own branch. The voltage that is received in the circuit is equal to the individual devices. The total current is equal to the current of each device. The resistance is the reciprocal of the resistances of each device combined.  

Given:
Device 1 = 12 ohms
Device 2 = 4 ohms
Voltage total = 40V  

Required:
Current at 12 ohms  

Solution:
40V = V1 =V2  

Since V =IR
I1 = V1/R1
I1 = (40V)/(12 ohms)

The incidence of Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, increases with increasing maternal age. Which of the following errors
Naily [24]

Answer:. Nondisjunction during meiosis I in either the male and female gamete

The failure of   homologous chromosome to separate at mitosis,  or failure of sister chromatids  to separate at Anaphase of  meiosis I or ii is called  non-disjunction.

 In this  cell division anomaly the  unsegregated chromosomes  are  separated  into  cells as single chromosomes, therefore extra copies are  therefore inherited.This  result is one of the cell having an extra copies of  chromosomes than others( chromosomes 21.

If this extra  chromosome copies  is segregated into a sperm or egg, the resulting zygote cells will   have extra  copy as  chromosome 21, and hence Down syndrome.

→It is more common in Meiosis 1 than ii,because of longer duration of the first stage of division than meiosis ii,given rooms to errors.

→Most common in women(with age increase)  than men because of exchange of telomeres in   them,which  worsen with age. Their Meiotic mechanism  which   weaken with age, and  more prone to errors compare to men,

Answer:

is revealed by the degree of similarity in sections of their DNA

Explanation:

phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of two different species are compared and the level of similarity between nucleotide sequences in DNA help to identify their relatedness.

<span>Hey there!

Zone of Inhibition Testing is a fast, qualitative means to measure the ability of an antimicrobial agent to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In the world of antimicrobial substances/surfaces, the degree to which these materials are inhibitory can be of vital importance to the health of the consumer. This test is a qualitative way for people to test the inhibition levels of their substances

Hope this helped, have a great day :)</span>
