Answer:

i ) Gompertz equation :

\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)

ii) The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

iii) The logistic growth was more accurate

Explanation:

<u>i) write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth</u>

Gompertz equation :

\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)

∝ = growth rate

k ( carrying capacity ) = 16 * 10^9

P(t) = population at time t

<u>ii) Determine what year the population reached 7 billion </u>

The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

solution attached below

<u>iii) Determine if logistic growth or Gompertz growth was more accurate  considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011</u>

The logistic growth was more accurate because the when Logistic growth model was used, the year in which the population reached 7 billion was 2010 and this value is more closer to 7 billion on October 31 2011 ( given value )

Which of the statements best describes the way you would engineer bacterial cells to produce a human protein?A. One restriction
erik [133]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. The same restriction enzyme would be used to cut both the donor human DNA and the vector DNA.

Explanation:

The way one could engineer bacterial cells to produce a human protein is by allowing bacteria to taking up the recombinant DNA. This recombinant DNA are inserted in the form of the vectors.

Recombinant DNA technology  or RDT allows individual fragments of DNA from any donor human genome to be inserted into vector DNA molecules with the help of the specific restriction enzyme for both vector DNA and donor DNA.

Thus, the correct answer is option D. The same restriction enzyme would be used to cut both the donor human DNA and the vector DNA.

Why arent algae and plants in the same kingdom?
kondaur [170]
<span>
</span><span>
Algae and plants may look similar and belong to the same Eukarya domain, they don't belong to the same kingdom because they are simply different in many ways including in their behavior, structure and habitat. In totality, they differ in more ways than they are alike.

Plants are in the Kingdom Plantae, while Algae are in the Protista kingdom. Plants are multicellular, while most Algae are single-celled, although some can be multi-cellular.

What mineral is this ?
user100 [1]

Answer:

Alkali Feldspar

This very common mineral can be pink or sometimes a light brick-red, though usually, it is closer to buff or white. A rock-forming mineral with a pink or pinkish color is almost certainly feldspar.

Explanation:

I don't know about minerals but this one looks like that and has the same texture
