What is the formula to solve for mass in specific heat capacity?
Setler79 [48]
Quantity of Heat = Mass x Heat Capacity x Temperature Change 
This may be shortened to: 
q = mcΔT 
where: 
q = Quantity of heat in Joules (J) m = Mass of the substance in grams (g) c = Specific Heat Capacity (Jg-1) ΔT = Change in Temperature (Δ = This symbol is "delta", which is Greek for "change")

In garden peas a pure line that is tall with purple flowers is crossed to another pure line that is short with white flowers. Th
defon

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

Answer 1.

As given that in F1 all are short and white then it can be said according to Mendel's law that short and white are dominant over tall and purple.  

Let S for short s for tall and W for white and w for purple allele.

So the genotype of short purple will be Ssww or SSww. So In first case Ssww self crossed then resultant offsprings will be,

................ Sw .................... sw

Sw ........ SSww ............. Ssww

sw ........ Ssww .............. ssww (tall and purple)

So from this 1/4 will be tall and purple while 3/4 will be short and purple.

In second case SSww only short purple progeny will appear.

Answer 2.

2. a) The female progeny will not show any trait because there are two X chromosome in females , so female offspring can be carrier but not show any trait in case of X- linked trait.

2. b) Half of male offsprings show trait because X is inherited from mother. So the chance of having X-linked recessive allele is 1/2.

2. c) The chance of having X linked affect allele in daughter is 1/2. So the chance of inheriting that X to son will be 1/2 so in total there is chance of 1/4 that son will be affected.

2. d) the chance of first child show this trait will be 1/4 in case of male offspring while 0 in case of female offspring.

Hope this helps!

The nitrogen base pairs in the DNA molecule are adenine and or cytosine and .
Dominik [7]

The nitrogenous bases Adenine form two hydrogen bonds with thymine and the cytosine form three hydrogen bonds with the guanine. Simply, A combines with T and G combines with the C. It is often called as a complementary base pairing because of each base pair bonds only with its specific complementary base partner in a DNA molecule.
