The growth of the population is described below.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The population growth of the region is varying according to many factors like,

A. Members of the reproductive age group.

B. Availability of nutrition.

C. Mortality rate of the population.

Here the members of the reproductive age group are few. The population being small in a large area there is a high availability of nutrients.

So the growth rate of the population will be very high. This is called the log phase of the growth.

Then comes the lag phase of growth where the population is considerably big with a fight for food and shelter. The survival of the fittest is seen and the population still grows but slowly. This is the lag phase.

But with time, the population growth is stopped because the ecosystem has a particular carrying capacity which is the maximum number of population that the ecosystem can support. So beyond this, the population won't increase, and thereby the natality rate and the mortality rate becomes equal.

Which of the following genes would not likely be encoded on a plasmid?

raketka [301]

Answer:

gene encoding enzymes for glycolysis.

Explanation:

Plasmid may be defined as an extra chromosomal circular DNA that replicate independently of the main chromosomal material. Plasmid are generally used for the manipulation of genes in molecular technologies.

Plasmid can encode gene for toxins, antibacterial resistance and for the unusual substrate degradation. The plasmid cannot code enzyme for glycolysis because these enzymes are already present in the host organisms. Glycolysis enzymes are independent on the plasmid regulation.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

The pmi for remains of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could best be estimated by

scoundrel [369]

The post mortem interval of a body enclosed in a plastic bag could be best estimated by the insects found in the body, in that case forensic science need to listen to what those little creatures have to say, insects could tell if the body has been moved from the crime scene, how long it´s been in an specific place, and how long it´s been since death until found, every group of insects can tell something different, from worms, arachnids to flyes, each one of them has a time to get into the body, so it could tell you for how long it´s been dead.

The equation y = 8x + 12, where x is the number of hours and y is the total cost, represents what the surf instructor charges fo

irinina [24]

Simple problem my friend!

First we must replace X with -2,-1,0,1,2
then we plug in -2 in X. 8*-2 is -16 and adding 12 gives us a co ordinate of (-2,-4) now this is not enough so now we must do -1. 8*-1 is -8, + 12 gives us 4. so now our second co ordinate is (-1,4). i will do 1 more co ordinate and then you should be able to finish the problem by yourself :) we now plug in 0 to replace X. 8*0 is 0, easy and 0+12 is 12. so the third co ordinate is (0,12) when you have put all the dots on the graph be sure to draw a line through them and by the way, this is not a biology question lol, good luck!

What component of enzyme structure is responsible for enzyme specificity

son4ous [18]

A few enzymes exhibit absolute specificity; that is, they will catalyze only one particular reaction. Other enzymes will be specific for a particular type of chemical bond or functional group. In general, there are four distinct types of specificity: Absolute specificity - the enzyme will catalyze only one reaction.
