Answer:

The correct answer is -

A. 2.6 × 10^9 years.

B. two half-lives.

Explanation:

According to the question, the half-life of potassium-40 is, 1.3 × 10^9 years, which means it takes 1.3 billion years to decay or disintegrate half of the initial amount of the potassium.

The half-life of K-40 = 1.3 × 10^9

The number of half-life,  => (1/2)^2 = 1/4 (25% =1/4)

n = 2

number of half life = two

the time it takes = n*half lifetime

= 2 *1.3 × 10^9

=2.6 × 10^9 years.

For which of the following reasons do small, isolated islands have a greater rate of
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Larger islands that are large and close to the mainland are shos lower rate of extinction due to the fact that the species present have more space so there will be more resources available in comparison to smaller islands where limited space and limited resources available.

Extinction is greater on islands isolated due to the unlikelihood of immigration and as it is opposite to the island close to the mainland and competition is more in isolated islands.

1: There are four stages of meiosis including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In the prophase phase (first stage) the chromosomes becomes visible as paired chromatids. When this happens the nuclear envelope disappears. During metaphase (second stage) the chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers. Throughout anaphase (third phase) the chromosomes move to opposite sides of the spindle fibers. While in telophase (fourth stage) two nuclei form by chromosomes and chromatids moving to the opposite ends of the cell.

2: The cells that outcome from meiosis are haploid daughter cells.

3: Haploid.

4: The similarities of meiosis and mitosis are that they both outcome with daughter from a parent cell. Differences are that mitosis has one round of genetic separation and cellular division while meiosis has two. In meiosis it creates daughter cells that aren’t identical.

Sexual reproduction combines genetics from two parents while asexual reproduction have offspring exactly the same as the genetics of the parent.

Asexual reproduction has the advantage of quicker reproducing. Sexual reproduction have all different offspring that can adapt to many different environments.
