Answer:Single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs (pronounced "snips") are DNA

sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A,T,C, or G) in the

genome sequence is altered (point mutation).

SNPs do not cause disease, but they can help determine the likelihood that someone will develop a particular disease.

Because single base mutations can either create additional restriction sites or destroy pre-existing sites, DNA preparations from different individuals frequently exhibit different patterns of size distribution of restriction fragments that hybridize with a particular probe. These differences are called

restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs).

Mike earned scores of 88,91,75,and 72 on four math tests determine his score on the fifth test if his average for five tests was

My name is Ann [436]

Explanation : x = 79 marks

The marks scored by Mike on four math test are 88,91,75 and 72.

Average of marks, A = 81

Let in fifth test he scores x marks.

The formula for finding average is :

$A=\dfrac{sum\ of\ scored\ marks}{no.\ of \ tests}$

$81=\dfrac{88+91+75+72+x}{5}$

$\dfrac{326+x}{5}=81$

$x=79$

In the fifth test he scores 79 marks.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be predicted that the population of the brown rabbits will diminish over time or may even go extinct, while the white rabbit population will thrive. This is because the white rabbits fur color allows it to better blend into it's environment and hide from predators, which in term leads to their survival as opposed to the brown rabbits which have nowhere to hide in the snow.

Density gives us information about how atoms in a material are

krek1111 [17]

Answer:Density is a characteristic property of a substance. ... The mass of atoms, their size, and how they are arranged determine the density of a substance. Density equals the mass of the substance divided by its volume; D = m/v. Objects with the same volume but different mass have different densities.
