Answer:

Explanation:

If there are 5 genes, let us assume that they are in the alternative forms with 2 possible gets for each five... So we have

2 possible gametes for each five = 2 to the power of 5 = 32 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 5 = 243

The same also for 10 genes

2 possible gametes for each 10 = 2 to the power of 10 = 1024 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 10 = 59,049

The same also for 20 genes

2 possible gametes for each 20 = 2 to the power of 20= 1,048,576

Them genotypes = 3 to the power of 20 = 3,486,784,401

Kidneys are often compared to filters because they cleanse unwanted waste from both frogs and humans true or false ?
PtichkaEL [24]

"Kidneys are often compared to filters because they cleanse unwanted waste from both frogs and humans" is TRUE.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

Frogs also have the excretory system with two kidneys and similar to mammals. Its function is to eliminate the nitrogen product from the blood. Frogs make large volumes of dilute urine to wipe out harmful products from the tubules of the kidneys.

Tadpoles and aquatic frogs excrete the nitrogen as ammonia, but most terrestrial adults excrete it mostly as urea which is less threatening substance. A few tree frog species with little water access excrete the still less harmful uric acid.

When crude oil is distilled, it is separated into categories. What are those categories characterized by?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Differences in their boiling points

Explanation:

When crude oil is distilled and separated into categories, the categories are characterized by the differences in their boiling points.

At different boiling points, each of the fraction will separate out.

  • Crude oil is made up of different fractions of hydrocarbons.
  • As the chain length of the hydrocarbon increases, the volatility reduces and boiling point increases.
  • Components with short carbon lengths rises out from the column first and are cooled and extracted.
  • The categories are thereby, classified based on differences in their boiling points.
