Two radioactive nuclei A and B are present in equal numbers to begin with. Three days later, there are 2.44 times as many A nucl

ei as there are B nuclei. The half-life of species B is 1.14 days. Find the half-life of species A (in days).

Answer:

2.23 days

Explanation:

Given that;

N=Noe^-kt

Where;

N= number of radioactive nuclei present at time =t

No= number of radioactive nuclei originally present

k = decay constant

t = time taken

But k = ln2/T

Where T is the half life of the radioactive nuclei

Hence;

NA= Noe^-ln2t/TA     (1)

NB= Noe^-ln2t/TB      (2)

But NA =2.44NB

2.44NB = Noe^-ln2t/TA     (3)

NB= Noe^-ln2t/TB      (4)

Divide  (3) by  (4)

2.44NB/NB = Noe^-ln2t/TA/Noe^-ln2t/TB

2.44 = e^-ln2t/TA + ln2t/TB

Taking natural logarithm of both sides

ln2.44 = -ln2t/TA + ln2t/TB

Given that TB = 1.14 days

TA= -ln2t(ln2.44 -ln2t/TB )^-1

TA= -(2.079) (0.892 - 2.079/1.14)^-1

TA = 2.23 days

How can a punnett square predict the traits of offsprings
Anna35 [415]

A punnet square predict the traits of offspring genetic crosses and test crosses.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In pea plants, the traits or characteristics inheritance is been observed and studies by Gregor Mendel. A model was proposed by him, in which the characteristics or traits are specified from genes. Genes can take different alleles or versions. The appearance of an organism can be determined by the dominant alleles. These hides the characteristics of recessive alleles.

The law of segregation is, When gametes are made by an organism the copy of one gene is passed to each gametes. The combinations of allele which is genotype, and the phenotypes which are the characteristics that are observable can be predicted by a Punnett square. This is done by  genetic crosses. In order to predict whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous can be determined by a test crosses.

A plant with blue flowers is crossed with a plant with yellow flowers. Some of the offspring have green flowers. This is an exam
IgorC [24]

Option B

Blue and yellow are co-dominant traits and none of these traits are expressed individually in the off springs. Green color is produced after the combination of yellow and blue trait.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d)"the percentage of pink flowers should increase over time".

Explanation:

In this study it is stated that two factors affect the flower coloration of <em>Claytonia virginica</em>: slugs preference of eating pink-flowering plants and bees preference of pollinating pink-flowering plants as well. If the researcher removes all slugs from the study population we can expect that the percentage of pink flowers should increase over time. The removal of the predator that prefers eating pink-flowering plants will favor the reproduction of this type of plants, which are also favored by bees pollination preference.
