Answer:

Speed of sound in water is 1500 meters per second.

Explanation:

Sound is a longitudinal wave. Sound wave requires a medium for its propagation. It flows in the form of compression and rarefaction. The speed of sound depends on the following factors such as :

  1. Elasticity of the medium
  2. Density of the medium

Speed of sound is maximum in solids then in liquid and it is least in gas. In water, the speed of sound is approximately 1500 meters per second.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Replacement rate

Explanation:

In biology, replacement level or replacement rate refers to the amount number of offspring required to be produced to keep the level of population at a stable state without causing it to much decease.

Scientists use the replacement rate of plant and animal specie to assess the rate at which the population is reproducing at a stable level or are at some threshold zone and need to be taken care of.

Here in question, we see that some specific properties of mustard plants are focused that, plant survives only one month during which it produces 50 flowers. each flower produces a fruit containing 20 seeds.

It clearly do not depicts the population size of mustard plant, or niche or fitness, it just describe the replacement rate that how many offspring does mustard plant produce to keep its population at a stable or steady state without being getting into a danger of extinction.

Hope it help!

Which group of protein control the cycle of a eukaryotic cell
grigory [225]
In cells with a nucleus, as in eukaryotes, the cell cycle is also divided into three periods: interphase, the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis. During interphase, the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis, preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA.

A breeder is trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers. In this population, the mean time to flowerin
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The next generation average time to flowering will be 98 days.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

  • Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.  
  • Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.  
  • The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,  

SD = Xs - X₀

  • Heritability in the narrow-sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.  

h² = R/SD

  • The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained or lost from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.  

R = h²SD  

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),  

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

<u>Available data:  </u>

  • trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers.
  • the population mean time to flower is 100 days → X₀
  • Chosen parental Plants mean flowering time is 90 days → Xs
  • the narrow-sense heritability for flowering time is 0.2 → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of X₁, which reflects the next generation average time to flowering.

  • We know that R = X₁ - X₀, so we need to clear this formula to calculate X₁

X₁ = R + X₀

We already know that X₀ = 100 days,  

Now we need to calculate R.  

  • R = h²SD

We know that h² = 0.2,  

Now we need to calculate SD

  • SD = Xs - X₀

Xs = 90 days → Parentals media flowering time

X₀ = 100 → Population media flowering time

SD = Xs - X₀  

SD = 90 - 100  

SD = - 10 days

Knowing this, we can calculate R

  • R = h²SD

o h² = 0.2  

o SD = - 10

R = 0.2 x (-10)

R = - 2

  • Finally, once we know the R-value we can calculate the X₁ value

X₁ = R + X₀

X₁ = - 2 + 100

X₁ = 98

Why do you think this pest control technique is not practiced everywhere
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Pesticides can contaminate soil, water, turf, and other vegetation. In addition to killing insects or weeds, pesticides can be toxic to a host of other organisms including birds, fish, beneficial insects, and non-target plants.
