What would be a disadvantage of asexual reproduction for an organism

1 answer:

5 0

A negative mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring. Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space. Unfavourable conditions such as extreme temperatures can wipe out entire colonies.

Andre heated several solid crystals of a substance called iodine, and the iodine changed directly to a gas. The iodine gas then

Strike441 [17]

The correct choice is

B. sublimation, then condensation

Sublimation is the name of the process where a solid directly converts into gas on heating. on heating solid crystals of iodine directly change into gas. hence this is sublimation.

condensation is the process where gas is converted into liquid on cooling.

here iodine gas is being converted into droplets on reducing the temperature. hence this is condensation.

The robot HooRU is lost in space, floating around aimlessly, and radiates heat into the depths of the cosmos at the rate of 13.1

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The temperature is $T = 168.44 \ K$

Explanation:

From the question ewe are told that

The rate of heat transferred is $P = 13.1 \ W$

The surface area is $A = 1.55 \ m^2$

The emissivity of its surface is $e = 0.287$

Generally, the rate of heat transfer is mathematically represented as

$H = A e \sigma T^{4}$

=> $T = \sqrt[4]{\frac{P}{e* \sigma } }$

where $\sigma$ is the Boltzmann constant with value $\sigma = 5.67*10^{-8} \ W\cdot m^{-2} \cdot K^{-4}.$

substituting value

$T = \sqrt[4]{\frac{13.1}{ 0.287* 5.67 *10^{-8} } }$

$T = 168.44 \ K$

A wave emitted from a source has a frequency of 10 Hz and wavelength 2.5 m. How much time will it take to reach a person located

const2013 [10]

Answer:

time taken by the wave to reach the person is 0.2 s

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the wave is given as

$v = \lambda f$

here we know that the wavelength of the wave is

$\lambda = 2.5 m$

$f = 10 Hz$

now speed of the wave is given as

$v = 10(2.5)$

$v = 25 m/s$

Now time taken by the wave to reach 5 m distance is

$t = \frac{L}{v}$

$t = \frac{5}{25}$

$t = 0.2 s$

Given that the speed of sound in air is 330m/s ,calculate the frequency of a note which setup a wavelength of 5cm in air.Is this

Pie

Explanation:

v = wavelength x frequency

330 = 5 . 10-² m x f

f = 6600 Hz

the frequency that human can hear is about 20 Hz - 20000 Hz

so human can hear the note.

Which is the force of repulsion between two positively-charged particles?

klio [65]

answer>>>>electric force <<<<by the way i don't like physics but i answer this for you ^-^

This is because centripetal force is just the net force of a circular motion. There are no attractive or repulsive forces here. This is not the case here. 
The gravitational force is a force reliant on mass and attraction of the masses. There are attractive forces here, but not really repulsive forces. 
The electric force is the only one that would make sense because it has to do with a relationship between charges and includes both repulsive and attractive forces.
