7 0

ANSWER:

Radioactive element life years = 1000/2 = 500yrs.

So, Rock years

  • 6.25/100 × 500
  • 31.25years.

In the fluid-mosaic model of the plasma membrane, the phospholipid molecules are oriented so that the _____________ heads are fa
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Hydrophilic heads facing exterior

Hydrophobic tails facing interior

Explanation:

In 1972, the fluid mosaic model was proposed to describe the structure of the plasma membrane. This model describes the plasma membrane to possess components including phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins. The phospholipid component is composed of glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate-containing head, which are arranged in two adjacent layers forming the phospholipid bilayer in the membrane of biological organisms.

Phospholipids have both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic region. Hence they are said to be AMPHIPATHIC.

The head of the phospholipid is negatively charged due to its phosphate content, making it polar and hydrophilic i.e. water-loving. This hydrophilic head faces the exterior of the cell in order to interact with fluids.

The tails of the phospholipid are long fatty acids that keep away from water i.e. hydrophobic. Due to their water-fearing nature, they avoid water and face the interior of the cell, where each tail face each other.

Merle is a marking pattern in canine coats that appears as a marbling of color in a solid coat. the merle gene displays incomple
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

100% merle with long coats.

Explanation:

<em>All the offspring produced from the cross would be merle with long coats.</em>

<u>From the illustration:</u>

Merle gene is represented by the genotype cmcs.

fgf5 gene determines the coat phenotype. Let the gene be represented by the allele A. A determines long coat traits and it is dominant over its alternate form, b, which determines short coat trait.

Now, two merle (cmcs) dogs were mated. One is true-breeding for long coat (AA) while the other is true breeding for short coat (aa).

cmcsAA   x   cmcsaa

Progeny genotype = cmcsAa

cmcsAa = merle with long coat.

<em>Since </em><em>A</em><em> is dominant over </em><em>a,</em><em> all the progeny from the cross will be merle with long coat.</em>

fomenos

Answer:

D. Use the polymerase chain reaction

Explanation:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular technique used to make multiple copies or amplify  a particular DNA sample. This enables scientist conduct thorough genetic analysis on minute sample of DNA, simply by amplifying it to a large quantity.

The PCR machine is usually used to amplify DNA fragment. The DNA fragments undergo three major steps successively: denaturation, annealing and elongation

What two events in Earth’s history have an impact on the carbon cycle?
Mariana [72]
The two events in earth's history with great impacts on carbon cycle is the burning of fossils fuels and the change in land use and land cover. burning of fossils fuels in homes and industries extracts the carbon from the fossil fuel and emit it as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. change in land use such as deforestation also change the amount of carbon in circulation.
