Q1. The answer is 1.
It can be calculated using the equation:
(1/2)ⁿ = x
x - decimal amount remaining,
n - a number of half-lives.
x = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5
n = ?
(1/2)ⁿ = 0.5
log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.5)
n * log(1/2) = log(0.5)
n * log(0.5) = log(0.5)
n = log(0.5)/log(0.5)
n = 1
Q10. The answer is 2.
It can be calculated using the equation:
(1/2)ⁿ = x
x - decimal amount remaining,
n - a number of half-lives.
Rhyolite #2 has 25% of the parent H remaining:
x = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25
n = ?
(1/2)ⁿ = 0.25
log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.25)
n * log(1/2) = log(0.25)
n * log(0.5) = log(0.25)
n = log(0.25)/log(0.5)
n = -0.602 / - 0.301
n = 2
Q3. The answer is 100 million years.
A number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H):
n = t/H
n = 1
t = ?
H = 100 000 000 years
n = t/H
t = n * H
t = 1 * 100 000 000 years
t = 100 000 000 years<span>

Hi! Can you please make your question clearer ?
Answer;
-Gametic Isolation
Explanation;
-Gametic isolation is a type of prezygotic barrier where the gametes (egg and sperm) come into contact, but no fertilization takes place.
-In Gametic isolation is when sperm of one species may not be able to fertilize the eggs of another species. For instance, sperm may not be able to survive in the reproductive tract of females of the other species, or biochemical mechanisms may prevent the sperm from penetrating the membrane surrounding the other species' eggs.
It may be perfectly healthy that their newborn is sleeping this long so unless they start displaying other strange symptoms that cause concern, there is no need to worry. They could suggest that they are concerned to the midwife if they feel anxious, to get a professional opinion.
