Answer:

The germline (the gametes)

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA sequence. They can occur randomly, from mistakes during DNA replication, or as the result of external factors like UV radiation.

For these mutations to be passed on to the next generation, they must be present in the DNA of the gametes(i.e. the egg and sperm cells). This is because this is the DNA that goes on to make the offspring in the next generation following fertilisation.

If mutations are present in somatic cells (i.e. cells other than the gametes), they are not passed on to the next generation. For example, if someone gets mutations in their skin cells as a result of exposure to UV rays, this will not be passed on to their children.

A gas undergoes a process in a piston–cylinder assembly during which the pressure-specific volume relation is pv1.3 = constant.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Change in specific internal Energy $=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the gas, m=0.4 lb
Initial pressure and volume are $p_1=160\ \rm lbf/in^2\ and\ v_1=1\ \rm ft^3\\$

Final pressure and temperature are $p_1=480\ \rm lbf/in^2$
Heat transfer from the gas is 2.1 Btu

Since the process is isotropic we have

$p_1v_1^{1.3}=p_2v_2^{1.3}\\160\times 1^{1.3}=480\times v_2^{1.3}\\v_2=0.43\ \rm ft^3\\$

So the final volume of the gas is calculated.

Work in any isotropic is given by w

$w=\dfrac{p_1v_1-P_2v_2}{n-1}\\\\w=\dfrac{160\times1-480\times0.43}{1.3-1}\\w=-154.67\ \rm Btu\\$

According to the first law of thermodynamics we have

$Q=\Delta U+w\\-2.1=\Delta U-154.67\\\Delta U=152.56\ \rm Btu\\$

So the Specific Internal Change is given by

$\Delta u=\dfrac{\Delta U}{m}\\\Delta u=\dfrac{152.56}{0.4}\\\Delta u=250\ \rm Btu/lb$

So the specific Change in Internal energy is calculated.

Two concentric current loops lie in the same plane. The smaller loop has a radius of 3.4 cmcm and a current of 12 AA. The bigger

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in loops are

i1 = 12A

i2 = 20A

The loops are 3.4cm apart

The magnetic field at the center is found to be zero, so when want to find the radius of bigger loop

Magnetic Field is given as

B= μoi/2πr

Where,

μo is a constant = 4π×10^-7 Tm/A

r is the distance between the two wires

i is the current in the wires

B is the magnetic field

NOTE

Field due to large loop should be equal to the smaller loop.

B1 = B2

μo•i1 / 2π•r1 = μo•i2 / 2π•r2

Then, μo, 2π cancels out, so we have

i1 / r1 = i2 / r2

Make r2 subject of formula

i1•r2 = i2•r1

r2 = i2•r1 / i2

r2 = 20×3.4/12

r2 = 5.67cm

The radius of the bigger loop is 5.67cm.

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is $\theta_z = 0.44586^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the warbler is $L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m$

The distance from the binoculars is $d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m$

The magnification of the binoculars is $M =8$

Without the 8 X binoculars the angle made with the angular size of the object is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \frac{L}{d}$

$\theta = \frac{0.14}{0.18}$

$= 0.007778 rad$

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

$M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}$

Where $\theta_z$ is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the binoculars i.e the binoculars zoom.

$\theta_z = M * \theta$

=> $\theta_z =8 * 0.007778$

$= 0.0622222224$

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

$\theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )$

$\theta_z = 0.44586^o$
