Mutations are changes that occur in DNA or RNA. Mutations can be silent, meaning they have no effect on the protein made, due to redundancy in the genetic code. ... Mutations in RNA, however, are only temporary because RNA is quickly degraded after it is used by the cell.

The half-life of a pesticide determines its persistence in the environment. A common pesticide degrades in a first-order process

denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.1066 hours

Explanation:

A common pesticide degrades in a first-order process with a rate constant (k) of 6.5 1/hours. We can calculate its half-life (t1/2), that is, the times that it takes for its concentration to be halved, using the following expression.

t1/2 = ln2/k

t1/2 = ln2/6.5 h⁻¹

t1/2 = 0.1066 h

The half-life of the pesticide is 0.1066 hours.

26 Milkweed contains a poison known as cardenolides. Monarch butterflies eat the milkweed plant and hold on to this toxic compou

Amanda [17]

Cardenolides, with the chemical formula CH₁₈C₂₀H₁₅CHCO₂ have (D) 23 carbon atoms, 34 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms.

Milkweed contains a poison known as cardenolides. The chemical formula for cardenolides CH₁₈C₂₀H₁₅CHCO₂.

The subscripts in the formula represent the atomicities, that is the number of atoms of each element in each part of the formula.

We can calculate the total number of atoms of each element by adding its atomicities.
