A scientist is studying a radioactive element that has a half-life of 63 years. Choose the correct answers from the drop-down me

nus to complete each statement about the element.
It will take
blank
years for half of the sample to decay.

In 189 years, blank
of the sample will be left.

Scientists can figure out how old a sample is by multiplying the blank
by the length of the half-life.

What happens when increasing the volume of a cell?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

As a cell grows bigger, its internal volume enlarges and the cell membrane expands. Unfortunately, the volume increases more rapidly than does the surface area, and so the relative amount of surface area available to pass materials to a unit volume of the cell steadily decreases.

Measurement of physiological arousal in breathing rate, hear rate, and blood pressure (which can mark emotional response) is als

zysi [14]

Emotion is one of the responses of an organism (whole) which involves physiological arousal. Other than indicating emotion, physiological arousal or heightened physiological activity is modernly used in polygraphs. Polygraphs or lie detector notes changes in blood pressure, pulse, respiration while the subject is asked and answers questions. It is based on the assumption that dishonest answers are indicated with physiological arousal.

In rabbits, black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b). A purebred black furred male is bred with a female that had the recessiv

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

All the offsprings will be black-furred (Bb)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur length in rabbits. The allele for black fur (B) is dominant to the allele for white fur (b). This means that a rabbit heterozygous for this gene (Bb) will have a black fur.

According to this question, a purebred black furred male (BB) is bred with a female that had the recessive white fur (bb). The parents will produce gametes as follows:

BB - B only

bb - b only

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the genotypic proportion of the produced offsprings is as follows:

Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb

All Bb (heterozygous) means that all of the offsprings will be black-furred.
