Explanation:
A stem cell is a cell with the unique ability to develop into specialised cell types in the body. In the future they may be used to replace cells and tissues that have been damaged or lost due to disease.
The answer is C: a pollutant.
Explanation:
The statistical study of populations and how they change over time is called demography. Two important measures of a population are population size, the number of individuals, and population density, the number of individuals per unit area or volume.
*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt
in medium-sized packs - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
female and hunt in medium-sized
packs - 15%
*Solution
<u>Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species, </u>
1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then,
a. The number of female wolves is
(55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves
b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves
Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves.
c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves
2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is,
55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting = 40 female wolves not
in medium-sized packs hunting in medium
sized packs
3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed.
For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of
<span> <u> 40 </u>
</span> 100
and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,
<span><u> 40/10 </u>
</span> 100/10
<span><u> 4 </u>
</span> 10
When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get,
<span><u> 4 </u> x 100% = 40%
</span> 10
Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.
Answer:
Besides wildfires, human settlements affect neighboring ecosystems through biotic processes, including exotic species introduction, wildlife subsidization, disease transfer, landcover conversion, fragmentation, and habitat loss.
