as the trait is dominant and controlled by a single gene,the mutation must have occurred on both diploid copies. true or false?

1 answer:

GenaCL600 [577]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A dominant trait is a trait that is inherited from parents. It is a trait that is obtained from a particular copy or type of a gene that overshadows or overwhelms the effects of another type or copy of that gene. Dominant traits are controlled by a single gene.

Therefore , as the trait is dominant and controlled by a single gene,the mutation must have occurred on both diploid copies is a false statement.

How can you make the potential energy as high as possible in a magnetic field between one electromagnet and one piece of iron?

harkovskaia [24]

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

In step 2, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

<h3>Potential energy of a system of magnetic dipole</h3>

The potential energy of a system of dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole in the magnetic field.

$U = \mu B$

where;

$\mu$ is the dipole moment
B is the magnetic field

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

$U = \mu\times (\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} )$

Increase in the distance (r) reduces the potential energy. Thus, we can conclude the following;

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
In step 2, when the iron is rotated 180, it will still maintain the original position, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

At the same instant that a 0.50-kg ball is dropped from 25 m above Earth, a second ball, with a mass of 0.25 kg, is thrown strai

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.

Explanation:

<u>Motion of 0.50 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 0 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = 9.81 m/s²

Initial height = 25 m

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 2 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 19.62 m

Height above ground = 25 - 19.62 = 5.38 m

<u>Motion of 0.25 kg ball:</u>

Initial speed, u = 15 m/s

Time = 2 s

Acceleration = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting in equation s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 15 x 2 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 2² = 10.38 m

Height above ground = 10.38 m

We have equation for center of gravity

$\bar{x}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}$

m₁ = 0.50 kg

x₁ = 5.38 m

m₂ = 0.25 kg

x₂ = 10.38 m

Substituting

$\bar{x}=\frac{0.50\times 5.38+0.25\times 10.38}{0.50+0.25}=7.05m$

The center of mass of the two-ball system is 7.05 m above ground.

A planet is 10 light years away from Earth. What speed would you need to go for a trip to the planet and back to take only 5 yea

viva [34]

Answer:

a. speed, v = 0.97 c

b. time, t' = 20.56 years

Given:

t' = 5 years

distance of the planet from the earth, d = 10 light years = 10 c

Solution:

(a) Distance travelled in a round trip, d' = 2d = 20 c = L'

Now, using Length contraction formula of relativity theory:

$L'' = L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}$ (1)

time taken = 5 years

We know that :

time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$

5 = $\frac{L''}{v}$ (2)

Dividing eqn (1) by v on both the sides and substituting eqn (2) in eqn (1):

$\frac{L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5$

$\frac{20'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5$

Squaring both the sides and Solving above eqution, we get:

v = 0.97 c

(b) Time observed from Earth:

Using time dilation:

$t'' = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$t'' = \frac{5}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.97c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

Solving the above eqn:

t'' = 20.56 years
