if an element has a half-life of 30 million years and there is 12.5% of it remaining in a rock, how old is that rock

Biology

Answer:

The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of that substance to decay. However, after two half-lives, half of the half remaining will decay, leaving you with one quarter of the original substance.

So, after 1 million years you will have 50% of the original substance remaining.

And, after 2 million years you will have 25% of the original substance remaining.

After 3 million years you will have 12.5% of the original substance remaining.

And after 4 million years you will have 6.25% of the original substance remaining.

Explanation:

Hope it helps:)

How does energy from the sun affect the motion of molecules in a gas compared to molecules in a liquid?
suter [353]

Answer:

Molecules of gas starts movement when they get energy from the sun in the form of heat.

Explanation:

Molecules of gas absorbed heat energy coming from sun. This heat energy is converted into kinetic energy due to which gas molecule moves faster. Volume of gas molecules also increases due to expansion of molecules by the absorption of heat energy. So more space is occupied by gas molecule as compared to liquid molecules.

Different ratios occur in crosses with single gene pairs or two gene pairs. What types of ratios are likely to occur in crosses
likoan [24]

Answer:

Genotype ratio: 1, 1:1, 1:2:1

Phenotype ratio: 1, 3:1

Explanation:

Single gene pair cross is also known as monohybrid cross. This means that only one gene usually with two alleles is observed and it express one trait.

For example, if we name the gene for a certain trait with A, the possible genotypes are AA (dominant homozygous), aa (recessive homozygous) and Aa (heterozygous). Possible crosses are:

P: AA  x  AA

F1 : all of them are AA

The same is with aa x aa (all of the offspring are with aa genotype)

P: AA  x  Aa

F1: AA Aa AA Aa  (genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

The same genotype ratio is  in aa x Aa (offspring will have aa Aa aa Aa-(genotype ratio 1:1) (phenotype ratio 1:1)

P: Aa x Aa

F1: AA Aa Aa aa (genotype ratio 1:2:1) (phenotype ratio 3:1)

P: AA x aa

F1: Aa Aa Aa Aa (1)
