A scientist is breeding orange butterflies in the laboratory she notices a white butterfly in the latest generation of animals s

he sequences the genome of this butterfly in notices a mutation in the genes that calls for pigment in the wings. Explain how this mutation would result in a white butterfly.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A gene mutation can be defined as a permanent change in the DNA sequence that composes a gene, resulting in the observation that the sequence differs from what is obtainable in most individuals that make up the  population. Mutations range from a change in a single DNA building block (change in the sequence of base pairs) to changes in a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.

Mutation in the color of the wings of the housefly can be passed on to the next generation. If this trait enhances survival of the butterflies, the orange winged butterflies will eventual become extinct and become entirely replaced by the white winged butterflies. This implies that gene pool has been completely modified.

A military jet cruising at an altitude of 12.0kmand speed of 1900./kmh burns fuel at the rate of 74.4/Lmin. How would you calcul
anygoal [31]

Answer: amount = 2466.95L

Explanation:

given that the speed is = 1900./kmh i.e. 1hr/900km

distance = 1050km

the fuel burns at a rate of 74.4 L/min

therefore the amount of fuel that the jet consumes on a 1050.km becomes;

total fuel used = time × fuel burning rate

where time = distance / speed

∴ total fuel used (consumed) = time × fuel burning rate

total fuel consumed = (1050km × 1hr/1900km) × (60min/ 1hr × 74.4L/1min)

total fuel consumed = 2466.95L

What is the concentration of an hbr solution if 12.0 ml of the solution is neutralized by 15.0 ml of a 0.25 m koh solution?
Snowcat [4.5K]
The balanced equation for the reaction between KOH and HBr is as follows;
KOH + HBr --> KBr + H₂O
stoichiometry of KOH to HBr is 1:1
number of KOH moles reacted - 0.25 mol/L x 0.015 L = 0.00375 mol
according to molar ration 
number of KOH moles reacted = number of HBr moles reacted 
number of HBr moles reacted - 0.00375 mol 
if 12 mL of HBr contains - 0.00375 mol 
then 1000 mL of HBr contains - 0.00375 mol / 12 mL x 1000 mL = 0.313 mol
therefore molarity of HBr is 0.313 M

How much mass do 3.4 moles of silver contain?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

367.2 g of silver

Explanation:

To find the mass of a substance knowing the number of moles we use the following formula:

number of mole = mass / molecular weight

In the case of silver we use the atomic weight of 108 g/mole.

mass = number of moles × molecular weight

mass of silver = 3.4 moles × 108 g/mole

mass of silver = 367.2 g
