In your own words, explain how a person may taste the bitterness of PTC by using the following vocabulary words in your explanat

ion (choose any order): trait, gene, genotype, phenotype, and alleles. Underline each word as you use it in your explanation. In this explanation, you can treat PTC taste sensitivity as a single- gene trait. [As mentioned in the video, it may be more complex than a single-gene trait.]

Answer:

Individuals are often characterized as “tasters” or “non-tasters” of PTC, but there is some variability amongst tasters in how much bitterness they can detect. ... The ability to taste PTC is due changes in the TAS2R38 gene that affects the function of bitter taste receptors on the tongue.

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. How many bacteria are grown during t
pochemuha
Here is a list showing how the bacteria grows:

Begin      -   15
1st hour   -   30
2nd hour  -   60
3rd hour   -  120
4th hour   -   240
5th hour   -   480
6th hour   -   960
7th hour   -   1,920
8th hour   -   3,840
9th hour   -   7,680
10th hour -   15,360
11th hour -   30,720
12th hour -   61,440

As you can see, the number of bacteria present is doubled at the end of each hour, as the question states. However, the question is not asking for the total number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour; it is asking for the bacteria GROWN during the 12th hour.

Because there were 30,720 bacteria at the end of the 11th hour, and 61,440 at the end of the 12th, the number of bacteria that grew during that last hour must be 61,440 - 30,720 = 30,720 bacteria.

(P.S. the answer would be 61,440 if it was asking for the TOTAL number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour)

Vikki [24]

The right answer is C.invention

Contact lenses are placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct your eyesight.

They can correct myopia and hyperopia. They can also correct age-related astigmatism and hyperopia (presbyopia).

Their principle is the same as for glasses: they bend the light and redirect it to your retina to improve your eyesight.
