Answer:

Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious. In general, the more base pairs that are affected by a mutation, the larger the effect of the mutation, and the larger the mutation's probability of being deleterious.

Please provide a legitimate answer and provide an explanation for the question below.

UNO [17]

Answer:

The skeletal system is vital in supporting the immune system because : Bones contain marrow, a porous material which creates both white and red blood cells. This replenishment of cells allows the body to fight and expel harmful bacteria, environmental toxins, foreign material e.t.c.

The white blood cells formed by the marrow are instrumental in isolating and destroying harmful particles (either on the site or in lymph nodes), or transporting them to the kidneys or bowels for excretion.

NOTE : Some people have marrow disorders which prevent their marrow from forming new cells; this is caused most often by cancer. Today, it is possible to transplant marrow from a healthy individual to a sick patient, and so help their bone marrow form new white and red blood cells to fight their sickness.

I hope it helps :)

We are studying 3 strains of bacteria, with populations p1, p2, p3, in an environment with three food sources, A, B, C. In a day

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The population of each bacteria in 1, 2, 3 are 12, 8, and 7 respectively.

Explanation:

From the given information:

For food source A; we have:

3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58 units of food A ---- (1)

For food source B; we have:

2P₁ + 4P₂ + 2P₃ = 70 units of food B ---- (2)

For food source C; we have:

P₁ + P₂ = 20 units of food C ----- (3)

From equation (1) and (2); we have:

3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58

2P₁ + 4P₂ + 2P₃ = 70

By elimination method

3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58

2P₁ + 4P₂ + 2P₃ = 70

P₁ = -12 + 3P₂ ---- (4)

Replace, the value of P₁ in (4) into equation (3)

P₁ + P₂ = 20

-12 + 3P₂ + P₂ = 20

4P₂ = 20 + 12

4P₂ = 32

P₂ = 32/4

P₂ = 8

From equation (3) again;

P₁ + P₂ = 20

P₁ + 8 = 20

P₁ = 20 - 8

P₁ = 12

To find P₃; replace the value of P₁ and P₂ into (1)

3P₁ + P₂ + 2P₃ = 58

3(12) + 8 + 2P₃ = 58

36 + 8 + 2P₃ = 58

2P₃ = 58 - 36 -8

2P₃ = 14

P₃ = 14/2

P₃ = 7

Thus, the population of each bacteria in 1, 2, 3 are 12, 8, and 7 respectively.

5. Some undiluted acids are more corrosive when diluted

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is : due to the hydrogen ions reacts and release high amount of energy with the strong acid.

Explanation:

Diluted acids are more corrosive then undiluted due to the presence of more H+ ions than the undiluted acids. The More the H+ ions are added the more corrosive the acid is.

When water is mixed with strong acid the hydrogen ions reacts with acid ions and a exothermic reaction takes place that release high amount of energy which boils violently, to avoid any accident it is advised to lab workers to wipe if any splash self before washing.

Thus, the correct answer is : due to the hydrogen ions reacts and release high amount of energy with the strong acid.
