Answer:
Complete the following problems using the equation:
Students are not required to memorize this formula but must know the meaning of the symbols:
D = diversity index
N = total number of organisms of all species found
Σ = the sum of
n = number of individuals of a particular species
D is a measure of species richness. A high value of D suggests a stable and ancient site, and a low value of D could suggest pollution, recent colonization or agricultural management. The index is normally used in studies of vegetation but can also be applied to comparisons of animal (or even all species) diversity.
Example: A lake contains 934 brown trout, 733 smallmouth bass, 34 catfish, 2003 carp,
234 steelheads, and 32 northern pikes.

Why do people sneeze and cough?
I will give brainly if you explain why.
The sneezing is release of air that helps the body to get rid of irritants in our nose and throat, like allergens, dirt, and dust.
Coughing is by forcing the air out of the lungs with high pressure, to clear the throat of these foreign particles.

What are the possible gametes (sperms) that would be produced from a male carrying balanced translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22, if it occurs in 2:2 Segregation: adjacent segregation
2 ) Fertilization
Fertilization is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. The egg and sperm are haploid, which means they each contain one set of chromosomes; upon fertilization, they will combine their genetic material to form a zygote that is diploid, having two sets of chromosomes. A zygote that has more than two sets of chromosomes will not be viable; therefore, to ensure that the offspring has only two sets of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg.
In mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. When a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reaction, take place. In placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane. The fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. Fusion between the oocyte plasma membrane and sperm follows and allows the sperm nucleus, centriole, and flagellum, but not the mitochondria, to enter the oocyte. The nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome. This process ultimately leads to the formation of a diploid cell called a zygote. The zygote divides to form a blastocyst and, upon entering the uterus, implants in the endometrium, beginning pregnancy.

Process of fertilization: (a) Fertilization is the process in which sperm and egg fuse to form a zygote. (b) Acrosomal reactions help the sperm degrade the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allow the sperm to transfer its nucleus.
To ensure that no more than one sperm fertilizes the egg, once the acrosomal reactions take place at one location of the egg membrane, the egg releases proteins in other locations to prevent other sperm from fusing with the egg. If this mechanism fails, multiple sperm can fuse with the egg, resulting in polyspermy. The resulting embryo is not genetically viable and dies within a few days.
Cleavage, the Blastula Stage, and Gastrulation
A zygote undergoes rapid cell divisions (cleavage) to form a spherical ball of cells: the blastula; this will further develop into a blastocyst.

Lucas places 20 kg samples of each substance by the same heat source all samples are at the same initial temperature which sumvstance will have the greatest temperature after some period of time
Answer:
Metallic structure with black colour body.
Explanation:
The substance has metallic structure and black colour body will have greatest temperature among other substances because metallic structure and black colour of body heat up very quickly. Metals have free electrons which make it the best conductor of electricity and heat while on the other hand, black colour is a good absorbent which absorb heat very quickly so that's why we can say that metallic solids are the substance that have the greatest temperature.

period between two periods of mitosis
the process involving the division of the nucleus in a
reproductive cell
Answer:
The nuclear division that forms haploid cells, which is called meiosis, is related to mitosis. As you have learned, mitosis is the part of a cell reproduction cycle that results in identical daughter nuclei that are also genetically identical to the original parent nucleus.
Explanation:
The nuclear division that forms haploid cells, which is called meiosis, is related to mitosis. As you have learned, mitosis is the part of a cell reproduction cycle that results in identical daughter nuclei that are also genetically identical to the original parent nucleus.
Answer:
In general, mitosis (division of the nucleus) is preceded by the S stage of interphase (during which the DNA is replicated) and is often followed by telophase and cytokinesis; which divides the cytoplasm, organelles and cell membrane of one cell into two new cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components.
Explanation:
The different stages of Mitosis all together define the mitotic (M) phase of an animal cell cycle—the division of the mother cell into two genetically identical daughter cells.Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions. Homologous chromosomes are separated in the first division.

Assume that S. typhi immediately enters the bloodstream from the small intestine. Of the following, which would be the first major organ that bloodborne S. typhi would encounter?
A. Stomach.
B. Pancreas.
C. Large intestine.
D. Liver.
Answer:
D. Liver.
Explanation:
Blood from the small intestine is taken to the liver. For this reason, we can state that if S. typhi enters the bloodstream through the small intestine, the first organ it would affect would be the liver.
The liver receives blood from the small intestine to be able to remove all toxins or useless substances from this blood and regulate how the distribution of nutrients contained in the blood will be to other parts of the body.

You have a beautiful garden at home. On Sunday, you start budding your rose plant to make few more samples of rose plants to plant in the garden. Can you categorize how this scenario could be represented by classes and instances?
Answer:
It is possible to make this categorization as follows:
Roses = Class
Rose samples = instances
Explanation:
In a very direct and objective way, we can state that classes are models that define how a given situation will be handled, which methods will be used to manage it and the objectives that will be established in that situation. Instances, on the other hand, are elements taken from the interior of classes, which contain factors that make them up. Based on this, we can determine that, in the case of the above question, roses are classes and rose samples are instances.
What is extinction ?
Answer:
The term extinction's dictionary meaning, is the process of when a species, plant, or any other term for animal family, goes extinct. In more, basic terms, it means when a certain species of animal dies out completely.
This can happen due to several reasons, some being massive natural disasters. Others die out due to an unknown predator entering an ecosystem in which it doesn't belong, therefore disbalancing it.
Examples of extinct animals are Dinosaurs, but their exact reason for going extinct is unkown, there are only theories.
There are also many animals in danger of going extinct, for example Bees.

Transmission electron microscopes that use high-energy electrons accelerated over a range from 40.0 to 100 kV are employed in many applications including the study of biological samples (like a virus) and nanoscience research and development (alloy particles and carbon nanotubes, for example). What would be the spatial limitation (in pm) for this range of electrons
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the concept of de Broglie wavelength under relativistic conditions to determine the spatial limits for electron range.
de Broglie wave-length [tex]\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p}[/tex]
where;
h = plank's constant
p = momentum of particle which is expressed as:
[tex]p = \dfrac{\sqrt{k^2+2kmc^2}}{c}[/tex]
replacing the expression for (p) into [tex]\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p}[/tex], we have:
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{h}{\dfrac{\sqrt{k^2 +2kmc^2}}{c}}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{hc}{\sqrt{k^2+2kmc^2}} --- (1)[/tex]
here;
c = velocity of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
h = 4.13 × 10⁻¹⁵ eV.s
i.e.
hc = (4.13 × 10⁻¹⁵ eV.s)(3 × 10⁸ m/s)
hc = 1240 eV.m
The electron's rest energy (mc²) = 0.511 × 10⁶ eV
For the elctrons;
the minimum accelerated voltage = 40kV
the maximum accelerated voltage = 100 kV
the minimum K.E of the electron K = eΔV
K = e × 40 kV
K = 40 KeV
K = 40 × 10³ eV
From equation (1);
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{hc}{\sqrt{k^2 +2kmc^2}}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{1240 \ eV.nm}{\sqrt{(40 \times 10^3 \ eV)^2 +2(40 \times 10^3 \ eV)(0.511 \times 10^6 \ eV})}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{1240 \ eV.nm}{\sqrt{((1600000000) +(80000\times 511000))eV}}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{1240 \ eV.nm}{\sqrt{((1600000000) +(40880000000)eV}}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{1240 \ eV.nm}{\sqrt{(42480000000) \ eV}}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{1240 \ eV.nm}{206106.769 \ eV}}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 0.062 \ nm[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\lambda = 6.20 \ pm}[/tex]
The maximum K.E of the electron K = eΔV
K = e × 10 kV
K = 10 KeV
K = 100 × 10³ eV
From equation (1);
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{hc}{\sqrt{k^2 +2kmc^2}}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{1240 \ eV.nm}{\sqrt{(100 \times 10^3 \ eV)^2 +2(100 \times 10^3 \ eV)(0.511 \times 10^6 \ eV})}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda = 0.037 \ nm[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\lambda = 3.70 \ pm}[/tex]
As a result, the spatial limits for the electron's range span from 6.02 pm to 3.70 pm.
