Answer:

Sexual reproduction is more genetically diverse than asexual reproduction. This is because asexual reproduction only requires one parent to produce offspring. This means that the offspring will be to indentical to the parent. The only way the offspring will be different from the parent, is if a mutation were to occur. Sexual reproduction requires two parents, this means the offspring will be genetically different from the parent. Therefore, sexual reproduction is more genetically diverse.

Two students are given cubic boxes, measuring 10 cm on a side. Robert puts a single glass marble with a

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Both boxes have the same amount of empty space

Explanation:

Given

Cube Box

$Length = 10cm$

Robert:

1 glass marble

$Diameter = 10cm$

Susan:

1000 glass marble

$Diameter = 1cm$

Required

Whose box has more empty space?

First, we need to calculate the volume of the cubic box.

$Volume = Length^3$

Substitute 10cm for Length

$Volume = 10^3$

$Volume = 1000cm^3$

Next, calculate the volume of Robert's glass

Volume is calculated as:

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ ---- Volume of a sphere

Where

r = radius

$r = \frac{1}{2} * Diameter$

$Diameter = 10cm$ --- Given

Substitute 10 for diameter

$r = \frac{1}{2} * 10cm$

$r = 5cm$

So:

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 5^3$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 125$

$Volume = 523.8cm^3$

Next, we determine the volume of Susan's 1000 glasses

Volume is calculated as:

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ ---- Volume of a sphere

Where

r = radius

$r = \frac{1}{2} * Diameter$

$Diameter = 1cm$ --- Given

Substitute 1cm for diameter

$r = \frac{1}{2} * 1cm$

$r = 0.5cm$

Substitute 0.5cm for radius in $Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 0.5^3$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 0.125$

$Volume = 0.5238$

But there are 1000 glasses.

So, the volume of 1000 glasses is:

$Volume = 0.5238 * 1000$

$Volume = 523.8cm^3$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Robert:

$Volume = 523.8cm^3$

For Susan:

$Volume = 523.8cm^3$

Since, they have the same volume.

Both boxes have the same amount of empty space
