Independent Assortment is the second law of inheritanceTraits are passed from parents to offspring independently of one another.Independent assortment is random and occurs during Metaphase I of meiosis.There are two possible alignments for the chromosomes.Since the alignments are random and not assigned, genetic variation occurs.

Independent assortment of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent cell by half to produce four reproductive cells called gametes. In humans, diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes, with 23 chromosomes inherited from the mother and a second similar set of 23 chromosomes inherited from the father. Pairs of similar chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes. During meiosis, the pairs of homologous chromosome are divided in half to form haploid cells, and this separation, or assortment, of homologous chromosomes is random. This means that all of the maternal chromosomes will not be separated into one cell, while the all paternal chromosomes are separated into another. Instead, after meiosis occurs, each haploid cell contains a mixture of genes from the organism's mother and father.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

t = 1862 s

Explanation:

To do this, we need first to determine the theorical detention time, which can be determined with the following expression:

t₀ = ∀/Q  (1)

Where:

t₀: detention time

∀: Volume of the fluid in the reactor

Q: Flow rate in the reactor

With this time, we must use the following expression to determine the time that the workers will take to vent the tank:

C = C₀ e^(-t/t₀)   (2)

From here, we must solve for time t, and the expression will be:

t = ln(C₀/C) * t₀   (3)

Now that we know the expression to use, let's solve for t. Using (1) to determine the detention time, ∀ is 1900 m³, and Q is 2.35 m³/s so:

t₀ = 1900 / 2.35 = 808.51 s

Now, let's solve for the time t. C will be 0.0015 mg/L (or 1.5 mg/m³ cause in 1 m³ we have 1000 L) and C₀ 15 mg/m³:

t = ln(15/1.5) * 808.51

<h2>t = 1861.66 s or simply 1862 s</h2><h2></h2>

Hope this helps

At 66.0 ∘c , what is the maximum value of the reaction quotient, q, needed to produce a non-negative e value for the reaction so
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

\boxed{5.5 \times 10^{-28}}

Explanation:

We must use the Nernst equation

E = E^{\circ} - \frac{RT}{zF}\ln Q

Step 1. Calculate E°

SO₄²⁻(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ SO₂(g) + 2H₂O(ℓ)

<u>2Br⁻⇌ Br₂(aq) + 2e⁻                                                                </u>

SO₄²⁻(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) ⇌ Br₂(aq) + SO₂(g) + 2H₂O(ℓ)

E° = 0.17 - 1.0873 = -0.92 V

Step 2. Calculate Q

E   =  0      V

E° = -0.92 V

R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 66 °C

n = 2

F = 96 485 C/mol

Calculations:  

T = 66.0 + 273.15 = 339.15 K

0 = -0.92 - \dfrac{8.314 \times 339.15}{2 \times 96 485}\ln Q\\\\0.92 = -0.0146\times \ln Q \\\\\ln Q = -\dfrac{0.92}{0.0146} = -62.8\\\\Q = e^{-62.8} =\boxed{5.5 \times 10^{-28}}\\

1) How much energy would be required to melt 15.0 g of ice at 0°C?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

5010J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 15g

Heat of fusion (ΔHf) = 334J/g

Heat required (Q) =..?

The heat energy required to melt the ice can be obtained as follow:

Q = m·ΔHf

Q = 15 x 334

Q = 5010J

Therefore, the heat energy required to melt the ice is 5010J.
