Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

In a two-point test cross, 36 of the offspring were recombinant types. The remaining 64 offspring were parental types. How many
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

36

Explanation:

A two-point test-cross is a cross between an individual with a double heterozygote genotype and a homo-zygous recessive individual in order to determine the recombination frequency between two linked genes. In genetics, one map unit (m.u.) can be defined as the measure of the distance (i.e., genetic distance instead of physical distance) between genes for which one (1) product of meiosis in one hundred (100) is recombinant. In this case, 36 of the offspring have the recombinant phenotype, while the remaining 64 offspring are not recombinant, and therefore both genes are separated by 36 mu (64 + 36 = 100 >> 36 mu).

In this specimen of onion root cells, what is the amount of time, in minutes, spent in interphase
valkas [14]

Answer:

Approximately it will consume 55% of the total time in the interphase i.e. 800 minutes.

Explanation:

The time required in different phases are as follows:

It takes 800 minutes for interphase

It takes 400 minutes for prophase

It takes 120 minutes for metaphase

It takes 80 minutes for anaphase

It takes 40 minutes for telophase

Total -- 24 hours

From this it can be concluded that around 55% of the time spent in the interphase, whereas only 28% in the prophase, 8% time for metaphase, 6% Anaphase and 3% Telophase. This is all happens in the onion cell but in case of the human cell, prophase it takes about 15 min, in prometaphase it takes 15 mins, metaphase takes in about 20 min, Anaphase takes minimum of 3 min and telophase is about and cytokineses are about less then 10 mins.
