For this question, we will utilize a population of Martians that is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. The dominant Martian phenotyp

Answer:

d.0.48

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:

freq (AA) = p²

freq (Aa) = 2pq

freq (aa) = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.

In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.

Therefore:

q²=16/100

q² = 0.16

q=√0.16

q = 0.4

And p+q=1, so:

p = 1 - q

p = 1-0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of heterozygotes is:

freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6

freq (Aa) = 0.48

Now that you have come up with an equation that describes the relationship between amounts of different nucleotide bases in DNA,
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

G=21 %

T= 29 %

A= 29 %

Explanation:

Since C only binds to G, you have the same amount of C and G, so G is 21 %.

100 % minus 42 % ( 21 % C plus 21 % G=) equals 58 %.

So the other 58 % is made of T and A. Since T only binds to A , the half of the extra 58 % is T and the other half is A. Therefore 29 % is T and 29 % is A

A microorganism has the following characteristics: Its cells have a nucleus and cell walls, it is multicellular, and it grows in
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

It must belong to the Kingdom Fungi.

Explanation:

Fungi are the organisms that have long thread-like structures called hypha in their body. Many hyphae together form a mass called mycelium. Fungi are eukaryotes and have a well-defined nucleus in their cells. They also have cell walls that are made up of chitin. Fungi are mostly multicellular. However, yeast is the fungi that have a single cell in their body. Fungi are heterotrophs and derive their nutrition by parasitic or saprophytic mode of nutrition. Therefore, the given description tells that the microbe should be a fungus.

1- Combustion reactions are exothermic reactions since these reactions result in the emission of heat (heat is a product and not a reactant)

2- A substance with higher specific heat that water would be liquid ammonia. This means that, for the same amount of energy given to both water and liquid ammonia, water will heat faster and gain more thermal energy (in degree celcius) that liquid ammonia.

3- Conduction : occurs when heat is directly transmitted from a material to another due to the difference in temperature between both. Examples are:
a- when using an iron the heat is transferred from the  iron to the piece of clothe being ironed
b- if you hold a hot cup heat will transfer to your hand
c- when you hold chocolate with your bare hand it will melt due to the transfer of heat from your hand to the chocolate
d- when you heat food on the stove the heat will transfer from the flame to the pan
e- when you hold ice it melts due to the transfer of heat from your hand to the ice piece
f- when you place hot liquid in a cup the heat will transfer from the liquid to the cup and the cup will become hot
g- if you place a spoon in a plate containing hot food the heat will be transferred from the food to the spoon making it hot
h- when you walk on the sand beach during summer the heat will be transferred from the sand to your feet and your feet will be hot
i- if you hold someone's hand when he/sh is cold the heat will be transferred from your hand to his/hers
j- Light bulbs emit heat, if you touch them this heat will be transferred to your body

4- Convection : is the transfer of heat through liquids or gases. Examples:
a- when water at the bottom of a pot is heated, it transfers this heat to the water above by convection
b- the process of ice melting when left in the air where heat is transferred from the air to the ice
c- the same goes for chocolate melting
d- cooling a frozen substance using running water where heat is transferred from the water to the frozen substance
e- when you stream a hot cup of tea/coffee, you transfer heat from the tea/coffee to the air
f- when a radiator moves the hot air upwards and the cold air downwards
g- when a balloon rises up wen being filled with hot air
h- when the ocean circulates and heat is transferred from warm water to cool water
i- when heat is transferred from a bulb to the surrounding air
j- when you cool the radiator of your car using water where water is transferred from the radiator to the water.

5- Radiation: the emission of energy in the form of waves. Examples:
a- the sunlight (ultraviolet radiations of sunlight)
b- x-rays
c- the flame/light of a candle
d- the gamma radiations from the explosion of a star
e- microwaves of a microwave oven
f- the radiations of the mobile phone which are electromagnetic radiations
g- the beam of a laser
h- placing your hand over warm fire
i- emission of alpha particles from decaying uranium
j- the radio waves

Studies peg the number of proteins in the human body to be around 10,000 to several billions. This diversity is a result of the
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B.

Explanation:

The diversity of numbers of proteins in the human body is due to the differences in the structure of proteins. This change or difference in the structure of proteins is mainly affected by the sequence of amino acids.

The order of sequence of amino acid segment or residue in the peptide chain of the protein affects the structure of the particular protein which also leads to change in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
