Answer:

144

Explanation:

Population growth rate refers to the measure of how a population (N) changes over a particular time (t). Hence, it is termed as (dN/dt) where d represents the change.

The logistic population growth rate equation is given as:

dN/dT = rmaxN (K-N/K)

Where; dN/dt = population growth rate

K = carrying capacity of

population

rmax = maximum per capital

growth rate

N = population number

dN/dt = 0.3 × 1200 (2000-1200/2000)

dN/dt = 360 (800/2000)

dN/dt = 360 (0.4)

dN/dt = 144

Hence, the growth rate of the population (dN/dt) is 144

If the offspring of a cross between two autosomal traits show a phenotypic ratio of 0 dom/dom : 0 dom/rec : 1 rec/dom : 1 rec/re
Elis [28]
The parents are of genotype heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive. Supposing the dominant allele is N and the recessive allele is n, one of the parents will be Nn while the other nn. The phenotypic (based on visible characteristics) ratio will be 1:1 for dom/rec and rec/rec as indicated in the  diagram below.

What would happen if you did not have the stapedius and tensor tympani muscles? A. The ear canal would stay permanently closed.
almond37 [142]
<h2>(D) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

  • Both the stapedius and tensor tympani are striated muscles
  • The stapedius is about 6 mm in length, arises from the pyramidal process and the tendon attaches to the posterior neck of the stapes
  • The stapedius is a muscle with a high oxidative capacity
  • The tensor tympani is about 25 mm in length, the muscle is not as strong as the stapedius, and the tendon also contains more elastic tissue and fat
  • The tensor tympani courses through a bony canal in the wall of the anterior middle ear, and attaches to the neck of the manubrium
  • The tensor tympani and stapedius muscles are protective reflexes
  • They reduce the amount of sound that gets into the inner ear
  • They are somewhat similar to the blink reflex thus they can be triggered by loud noise, and when they go off, both ears can be involved
  • If stapedius and tensor tympani muscles is not present then loud sounds would cause the ossicles to move too much, potentially causing damage to the inner ear

Why is a nutrient cycle on earth called closed system
anastassius [24]

Answer:

<em>The nutrient cycle </em><em>is nature's recycling system. All forms of recycling have feedback loops that use energy in the process of putting material resources back into use. </em><em>Recycling</em><em> in ecology is regulated to a large extent during the process of decomposition.</em><em> Ecosystems employ biodiversity</em><em> in the food webs that recycle natural materials, such as mineral nutrients, which includes water. </em><em>Recycling in natural systems</em><em> is one of the many ecosystem services that sustain and contribute to the </em><em>well-being</em><em> of human societies.</em>

Which cell structure is responsible for supplying energy in both plant and animal cells?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: Mitochondria

Explanation:

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles bounded by a double membrane in which the inner membrane is folded and filled with matrix. Mitochondria is present in both plant and animal cells, and serves as the power house where respiration occur and energy is released from the oxidation of simple sugar.
