Which is a shorter process - (circle one) selective breeding or natural selection?

1 answer:

6 0

Selective breeding is a shorter process because it can produce the desired traits in the amount of time it takes to conceive and give birth to a particular organism whereas natural selection requires several generations to achieve the desired traits. Selective breeding can be controlled within one generation meanwhile natural selection requires more variation.

How does inheritance depend on genes?

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye colour and blood type, to their children through their genes.These two copies of the gene contained in your chromosomes influence the way your cells work. The two alleles in a gene pair are inherited, one from each parent.

A wooden tool is found at an archaeological site. Estimate the age of the tool using the following information: A 100 gram sampl

lord [1]

Answer:

2578.99 years

Explanation:

Given that:

100 g of the wood is emitting 1120 β-particles per minute

Also,

1 g of the wood is emitting 11.20 β-particles per minute

Given, Decay rate = 15.3 % per minute per gram

So,

Concentration left can be calculated as:-

C left = $[A_t]=\frac{11.20\ per\ minute}{15.3\ per\ minute\ per\ gram}\times [A_0]= 0.7320[A_0]$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Also, Half life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{5730}\ years^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.000120968 year⁻¹

Time =?

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$\frac {0.7320[A_0]}{[A_0]}=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$0.7320=e^{-0.000120968\times t}$

$ln\ 0.7320=-0.000120968\times t$

t = 2578.99 years

True or false: nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases

navik [9.2K]

Is true. Nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases. Under normal conditions such as normal pressure and temperature conditions , most real gases behave qualitatively as an ideal gas. Many gases such as air , nitrogen , oxygen ,hydrogen , noble gases , and some heavy gases such as carbon dioxide can be treated as ideal gases within a reasonable tolerance. Generally, the removal of ideal gas conditions tends to be lower at higher temperatures and lower density (that is at lower pressure ), since the work made by the intermolecular forces is less important compared to the kinetic energy of the particles, and the size of the molecules is less important compared to the empty space between them. The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or at high pressures, when intermolecular forces and intermolecular size are important.

Sometimes a new product is test-marketed. A limited amount of the product is released to a select group of users. Then the group

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Modification Step

Explanation:

The entire reason why test-marketing exists is to make sure that the product will be well received by the public. Once the test marketing concludes, the data from the test is analyzed. Then the company decides whether or not they will make changes on how the product looks, feels, performs, or even rebranding the product, all to make sure that the final consumer will like the product enough to want to purchase and continuously use the product. Which will in term increase profits for the company.
