Nuclei with a higher than desired neutron-to-proton ratios tend to undergo which type of decay?

1 answer:

8 0

Hey there!

Nuclei with a high neutron-to-proton ratio usually undergo a beta emission.

Beta emissions, unlike some other types, is radioactive decay throughout these particles, and can have half lives like other types of exponential (usually) decay. Neutrino, along with beta rays, are coming from, or emitted from the nucleus - hence the name.

Hope this helps!

Should women who are not pregnant and men be concerned about Zika infection

Answer:

Women should stand by at least two months after travel (or 2 months after symptoms started to manifest if they get sick) before trying to get pregnant.The waiting period is longer for men because Zika stays in semen longer than in other body fluids.

Explain Mendel's law of independent assortment and how the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio among the F2 of a dihybrid cross provides ev

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment state that two different genes assort independently in gamete formation.

To reach this conclusion, one has to do a dihybrid cross. This means that two genes responsible for different traits need to be analyzed at the same time.

1) Starting with a parental generation of a cross between two pure lines (homozygous for both genes) with different traits, a plant with yellow and round seeds (YYRR) and another with green and wrinkled seeds (yyrr). The F1 will be phenotypically homogeneous (yellow and round), and genotypically heterozygous (YyRr).

2) If the individuals from the F1 are crossed with one another, we have to do a Punnett Square to determine the phenotypic ratio of the F2.

If the genes assort independently, the F1 individuals will produce their different gametes with the same probability. Each possible gamete will appear in a 1/4 proportion: YR, Yr, yR, yr.
The 9:3:3:1 ratio is a result of analyzing the possible phenotypes that result from the dihybrid cross.

See the attached image for an illustration of the crosses in each generation and the Punnett Square.

1. The region north of 66½° N latitude is the Arctic Circle. Use the simulator to describe the length of the day during winter,

Jet001 [13]

In the summer the northern hemispher gets the most light and the further north you go or the higher latitude the more daylight you get. The Equator is more half and half. The north pole, the sun never sets.

Winter the further north you go, the more night time you get. Equator is still more or less half and half.
