How do you solve Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium problems? Step 1: Assign the Alleles. • By convention, we use the dominant phenotype to name the alleles. Step 2: Calculate q. The number of homozygous recessive individuals is q. Step 3: Calculate p. Once you have q, finding p is easy! Step 4: Use p and q to […]
Does photosynthesis release energy from glucose?
Does photosynthesis release energy from glucose? Most life on Earth depends on photosynthesis. The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar). Does glycolysis release energy from glucose? Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, […]
Do horses run faster on dirt or turf?
How fast does sound travel if the air temperature is 20 C?
When an object is dropped the initial velocity is zero?
When an object is dropped the initial velocity is zero? If the object is dropped, we know the initial velocity is zero. Once the object has left contact with whatever held or threw it, the object is in free-fall. Under these circumstances, the motion is one-dimensional and has constant acceleration of magnitude g. How do […]
Why is it called the line of best fit?
Why is it called the line of best fit? The regression line is sometimes called the “line of best fit” because it is the line that fits best when drawn through the points. When we studied correlation, we saw that a linear relationship between two variables could be seen as a stream of points when […]
What is the main cause of trade winds?
What is the main cause of trade winds? The Coriolis Effect, in combination with an area of high pressure, causes the prevailing winds—the trade winds—to move from east to west on both sides of the equator across this 60-degree “belt.” The sinking air triggers the calm trade winds and little precipitation, completing the cycle. Are […]
Is James Webb Telescope working?
Is James Webb Telescope working? The JWST is being developed by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. Work has resumed, but NASA announced that the launch date has once again been delayed to October 31, 2021. The total cost of developing the telescope has ballooned to over $10 billion. How long […]
Are there different methods of fossilization?
Are there different methods of fossilization? The chances of becoming a fossil are enhanced by quick burial and the presence of preservable hard parts, such as bones or shells. Fossils form in five ways: preservation of original remains, permineralization, molds and casts, replacement, and compression. What happens when something is fossilized? When something fossilizes, it […]
What is the working principle of piezoelectric transducers?
What is the working principle of piezoelectric transducers? The main principle of a piezoelectric transducer is that a force, when applied on the quartz crystal, produces electric charges on the crystal surface. The charge thus produced can be called as piezoelectricity. What are the materials used for piezoelectric transducer? There are three basic classes of […]
