Answer:

A

Explanation:

1 half-life = .4 kg = 15 years

2 half-life = .2 kg = 30 years

3 half-life = .1 kg = 45 years

4 half-life = .05 kg = 60 years

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Initial mass is 8. The half-life is 15 years.

1st half life=.8/2=.4

2nd half life=.4/2=.2

3rd half life=.2/2=.1

4th half life=.1/2=.05

For each half life that it took it to go from .8 to 0.05, you add 15 years since that is the half life of the substance. 4*15=60.

So, the answer is A. The material decayed from 0.8 kilograms to 0.05 kilogram in 60 years.

Mutation is a random and non-adaptive process. This was first proven by:
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Mutation may be defined as the sudden, heritable change in the nucleotide sequence of the organism. Mutation may occur due to the errors in DNA replication or may occurs due to the mutagens.

Joshua and Lederberg experiment explains that mutation is the non adaptive and random process that occur in the organism. He used the replica plating of E.coli and grows them on streptomycin drug. The bacteria was grown on the the primary plate and they are transferred to the secondary plate with streptomycin drug in the growth environment. The resistant strain of bacteria grows in the streptomycin environment.The pattern of bacteria growth on the plate explained that mutation occurs randomly and it is a non adaptive process.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
