Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells
It is true that in South Africa (and also Namibia) it is still legal for big game hunters to shoot rhinos for trophies but this allowance is strictly limited to 5 rhinos per year for both countries and these are only for old, post-reproductive bulls. This small quota is most likely related to the fact that 3 out of 5 rhino species is on the critically endangered species list.
Answer:
CH₄ is the excess reagent and SO₄²⁻ is the limiting reagent.
0.040 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced reaction for the methane anaerobic oxidation
CH₄ + SO₄²⁻ ⇒ S²⁻ + CO₂ + 2 H₂O
Step 2: Establish the theoretical mass ratio between the reactants
According to the balanced equation, the theoretical mass ratio of CH₄ to SO₄²⁻ is 16.04:96.06 = 0.1670:1
Step 3: Establish the experimental mass ratio between the reactants
50 mg (0.050 g) of CH₄ react with 60 mg (0.060 g) of SO₄²⁻. The experimental mass ratio of CH₄ to SO₄²⁻ is 0.050:0.060 = 0.83:1
Comparing both mass ratios, we can deduce that CH₄ is the excess reagent and SO₄²⁻ is the limiting reagent.
Step 4: Calculate the mass excess of CH₄
The mass of CH₄ that reacts with 0.060 g of SO₄²⁻ is:
0.060 g SO₄²⁻ 16.04 g CH₄/96.06 g SO₄²⁻ = 0.010 g CH₄
The mass excess of CH₄ is:
0.050 g - 0.010 g = 0.040 g
Answer:
C. Disruptive selection
Explanation:
Disruptive selection, also called diversifying selection, describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values. In this case, the variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups. Two separate groups emerge.
