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)

What di eukaryotes most likely evolve from?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Most of the Eukaryotes most likely to evolve from the Prokaryotes.  Prokaryotes are basically unicellular organisms that lack internal membrane-bound structures. So, they do not carry nucleus and generally have a single chromosome. Most of them have a cell wall outside  the plasma membrane, which is a thin layer of lipid that completely surrounds the cell.  Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission method.

What form a spindle shaped structure of protein fibres on which the chromosomes move during nuclear division? 
frez [133]
Function of centrioles

An organelle that forms a spindle-shaped structure of protein fibers on which the chromosomes move during nuclear division are called the centrioles. Centrioles are part of the animal cell organelles. Hence, they are a small part of the microtubules organized and set in a particular course. Microtubules include 9 sets. Centrioles contain a cylindrical structure, packed with protein which is described as tubulin. Found mostly in eukaryotic cells beside the nucleus.
