Answer:

Costly and distilled water is not potable water

Explanation:

Distillation is not considered a practical approach to treat the municipal waste water because of the following two reasons -  

a) The municipal water is drinkable i.e potable water and hence it should have certain amount of necessary ingredients which are considered essential for the human body which a distilled water lacks.

b) Distilled water has application in industries, factories etc.  

c) Distillation is costly method of water treatment. Thus, until and unless there is requirement of distilled water , there is no need to use distillation method of municipal waste water.

If a hemoglobin molecule comes into close contact with a respiring cell, the presence of CO2 in the environment will cause hemog
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

No, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 binds to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release.

Explanation:

The O2 molecule is reversibly combined with the heme portion of the hemoglobin. When the partial pressure of O2 is high, as in the case of pulmonary capillaries, for example, the binding of O2 to hemoglobin and the release of carbon dioxide are favored, this is known as the Haldane effect. If, on the contrary, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 is bound to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release, this is known as the effect Bohr.

In a population of lizards, the allele that causes red eyes (R) is dominant, while the allele that causes green eyes is recessiv
zhenek [66]
The answer is 0.47 or 47%.

Let's first distinguish some terms and their frequencies.
R - the dominant allele that causes red eyes
r - the recessive allele that causes green eyes

Since R is dominant over r, lizards with at least one dominant R allele will have red eyes. Therefore, the genotypes and the phenotypes are as following:
genotypes - phenotypes
RR              - the lizards with red eyes
Rr               - the lizards with red eyes
rr                - the lizards with green eyes

Now, we will use some Hardy-Weinberg equations:
p + q = 1
p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where:
p - the frequency of dominant allele R
q - the frequency of recessive allele r
p² - the frequency of lizards with genotype RR
2pq - the frequency of lizards with genotype Rr
q² - the frequency of lizards with genotype <span>rr
</span>
We are interested in <span>the frequency p of the dominant R allele.
</span>So, we have the frequency (72%) of the lizards that have red eyes. However, lizards with genotypes RR and Rr will have red eyes. Since their frequencies are p² and 2pq, respectively, we have:
p² and 2pq = 72% = 72/100 = 0.72

Now, use this in the equation p² + 2pq + q² = 1:
0.72 + q² = 1
q² = 1 - 0.72 = 0.28

From here, we will calculate q and later p using the formula p + q = 1:
q² = 0.28
q = √0.28 = 0.53

p + q = 1
p + 0.53 = 1
p = 1 - 0.53
p = 0.47

What was the average of diameters (cm) for the Willapa Bay urchins sampled before the hunt? (Type just the number rounded to the
Otrada [13]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete as the diameters of the Willapa Bay urchins were not given.

However, I'll give a general way to solve this problem.

Average is calculated using:

Average = \frac{\sum x}{n}

i.e. Sum of all diameters divided by the number of bay urchins.

The diameter of urchins is usually between 6cm to 12cm; So, I will assume the following diameters for 10 urchins.

10cm, 8cm, 10cm, 7cm, 9cm, 10cm, 6cm, 10cm,8cm, 8cm

Using the above data, the average is:

Average= \frac{10+8+10+7+9+10+6+10+8+8}{10}

Average= \frac{86}{10}

Average= 8.6
