Biology
1 answer:
Levart [38]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

3. a leaf falling off of a tree to the ground.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

  • F represents force measured in Newton.
  • m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.
  • a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Force can be categorized into two (2) main types; forces that at a distance and forces the act by direct contact with the body.

A force that acts at a distance refers to the force exerted on a body or an object without any physical contact between them such as gravitational force, magnetic force and electric force. This simply means that, there can be a push or pull between objects even when they are not in physical contact with each other due to gravitational, magnetic or electric forces.

<em>Some example of a force that acts at a distance is a leaf falling off of a tree to the ground, a magnet pulling an object to itself, a magnet pushing or repelling another magnet etc. </em>

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a The volume of the liquid should be measured before it is heated.

Explanation:

A student would like to determine how heating a liquid changes its volume. The student hypothesizes that the liquid will increase in volume. The following list shows the steps taken by the student in order to test the hypothesis.

Select the liquid to test.

Place the liquid in a sealed container.

Use a Bunsen burner to heat the liquid by 10°C.

Measure the volume of the liquid.

Record the results.

What is wrong with how the student conducted the investigation?

a The volume of the liquid should be measured before it is heated.

b The hypothesis was not valid because it is impossible for liquids to change in volume.

c The student should have increased the temperature of the liquid by more than 10ºC.

d The length of time it took for the liquid to be heated should be measured.

The answer is A i.e The volume of the liquid should be measured before it is heated. I think this is surely right!!

The gene frequency for a dominant allele is 0.68 and the recessive allele is 0.39. What percent of the population has a homozygo
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

15.21 %

Explanation:

If we recall the basic formula of Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium ; we have the following below:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where;

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p² = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q² = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given that p= 0.68 and q = 0.39

the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (q² ) will be

(0.39)² = 0.1521

= 0.1521 × 100

= 15.21 %

∴ the percentage of the population that has a homozygous recessive genotype = 15.21 %
