A museum curator collects fossils from two different periods. He has 400 from one period and 204 from a later period. He plans to arrange the fossils in display cases so that each case contains the same number of fossils. Also, each case must contain fossils from only one period. What is the largest number of fossils that can be placed in each case

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Number of fossils collected over period 1:

400

Number of fossils collected at a later period :

204

For each display case to have the same number of fossils ; the greatest number of fossils possible per case:

Obtain the greatest common factor of both 400 and 204

400 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400

204 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 102

Hence, the greatest common factor (400 and 204) is 4

Hence, the greatest Number of Fossil possible per case = 4

If false, please make it a correct statement. A rancher uses a particular chicken for breeding purposes because, on average, she observed that the chicken laid more eggs than other chickens. The rancher selecting the desirable trait would be considered an example of natural selection.
a) true
b) false

Answers

Answer:

b) false

Explanation:

The given statement is false. the selection process used by the rancher is an example of artificial selection and not natural selection.

Artificial selection is defined as the selection process done by humans on the basis of desirable characters while in natural selection the selection is based on the  adaptive characteristics of animals. In the given example rancher choses a desirable character of chicken that lays more eggs.

Hence, the given statement is "false".

As part of a forensic analysis, you have been asked to determine an individual's ancestry using skeletal indicators. The metric measurements you collect indicate that the individual is of European ancestry, but you see several nonmetric traits in the cranium that are typically found in individuals of Asian ancestry. Why might the two methods give different results

Answers

Answer:

Due to difference in the methods that is used for analysis.

Explanation:

The two methods give different results because we used two different types of measurements i. e. metric measurement and nonmetric traits. In the metric measurement, we calculate the quantitative character of an individual that gives information about the current status of an individual, while on the other hand, in non-metric traits refers to the method which is used to evaluate genetic connections within and between populations that were present in the past.

The energy that fuels food webs begins as light energy from the sun. True or False

Answers

Answer: i think its true. ( based of information i got)

Explanation: The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs. also A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.

what is the difference between a disease and an infection​

Answers

Answer:

disease occur when the cells in your body are damaged and multiplies and infection occurs when bacteria is there.

hopefully this helps.

A disease is any condition in which the body is not working properly. Many diseases are quite trivial and clear up quickly without treatment, for example a cold. Some are severe, even life-threatening, such as many, not all, types of cancer.

Infections are one particular type of disease. An infection is a disease caused by a living organism (a germ), which is living in the body of the affected person. The germ may be a bacterium, virus, fungus or parasite.

Like all diseases, infections vary in how severe they and whether they need treatment. The common cold is a virus infection; colds are not dangerous unless a person is already sick or very weak. Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection, which can be very difficult to treat and causes many deaths every year.

3. What does the salt do?
4. What was the purpose of cooling the mixture?
5. What does the cold ethanol do?
6. Why can't we use room temperature ethanol?
7. Why are strawberries classified as octoploids?

Answers

Answer:

3.You might think this should mean you need to cut out salt completely, but salt is actually an important nutrient for the human body. Your body uses salt to balance fluids in the blood and maintain healthy blood pressure, and it is also essential for nerve and muscle function.

4.Cooling the mixture is to prevent the DNA from being degraded by the heating.

5.The ethanol pulls water from the DNA molecule so that it then collapses in on itself and precipitates. The DNA will become visible as white mucous strands that can be spooled with the wooden applicator stick.

6.The colder the ethanol is the greater the amount of DNA that is precipitated. (You could try having some of the students use room temperature ethanol and see if the amount of DNA they can spool is the same or less than that for the groups using the ice-cold ethanol.

7.The reason is every strawberry seed contains different genetic material, the product of a myriad of potential gene combinations. Because the genetics of strawberries are so diverse (humans are diploid, strawberries are octoploid)

Which of the following reasons for studying botany is most directly related to increased profits?
O Studying botany helps companies develop more abundant food crops for less investment.
O Studying botany can help us keep our forests healthy.
O Studying botany provides a chance to go on to graduate school.
O Studying botany tells us more about our place in nature.

Answers

Answer: Studying botany helps companies develop more abundant food crops for less investment

Explanation:

The reasons for studying botany that is most directly related to increased profits was that "Studying botany helps companies develop more abundant food crops for less investment".

Since more food crops are gotten for less investment, it ultimately means that there'll be a reduction in the cost which will hence lead to an increase in revenue and therefore there'll be an increase in profit.

Two Drosophila with genotypes AABBCC and aabbcc are crossed to produce a heterozygous offspring, AaBbCc (the gene order is unknown). This AaBbCc Drosophila is crossed with an aabbcc Drosophila, resulting in the offspring below: Number: Phenotype: 600 ABC and abc 200 AbC and aBc 150 ABc and abC 50 Abc and aBC a. Which phenotype represents the double crossovers

Answers

Answer:

The double recombinant individuals are less frequent ---> Abc and aBC

Explanation:

We can know if genes are linked, by looking at the progeny distribution. In a tri-hybrid cross, If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1. If we observe a different distribution, meaning that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the heterozygote parent.

We can recognize the parental gametes because their phenotypes are the most frequent in the descendants, while the double recombinants are the less frequent. Finally, the simple recombinant gametes are the ones with intermediate phenotypes frequencies.  

In the present example, the phenotypic ratio shows different proportions than the expected ones if they were not linked.

We can recognize the parental gametes in the descendants because their phenotypes are the most frequent,

ABC and abc   600    

while the double recombinants are less frequent.

Abc and aBC  50  

And simple recombinant gametes produced by the cross, which frequencies are intermediate.

To begin, open Electric Field Hockey.Directions:On the control bar, make sure that the Puck is Positive and the Field boxes are checked. Also, make sure that the Practice option is selected.Your aim is to score goals by manipulating the black puck (test charge) into the blue-colored bracket (goal) on the right. Think smart and place positive source charges (red) and negative source charges (blue) in such a way that the black puck moves into the goal.Note that when you place a red, positive source charge in the hockey field, a red arrow appears on the black puck (test charge) showing the force the positive charge exerts on the puck. Similarly, when you place a blue, negative source charge in the hockey field, a blue arrow appears on the black puck (test charge) showing the force the negative charge exerts on the puck.Question 1Part APlace a red charge on the hockey field and click Play. In which direction do electric field lines point? In which direction does the black puck move? What conclusion do you draw from this movement?Part BClick Reset and then click Clear. Now, place a blue charge in the hockey field and click Play. In which direction do electric field lines point? In which direction does the black puck move? What conclusion do you draw from this movement?Part CManipulate the mass of the puck by dragging the mass bar to the right to increase the mass and to the left to decrease it. What changes do you see in the speed of the puck? Which principle works behind this change?Part DIn the same situation, what do you observe about the relationship between the speed of the black puck and its distance from the blue charge?Question 2You can make the puck travel in complex ways by placing a set of charges around on the field. So, heres your game challenge: Arrange sources charge around to propel the puck from its starting position into the goal.
