Answer:

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{47}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Explanation:

It is given that out of 40, total 5 specimen are selected.

Thus, the number of ways in which 5 specimens are selected from a given sample of 40 is given by

C^{40}_{5}\\

Number of specimen with certain trait is equal to 3.

Now, total 5 specimen are selected out of which one specimen is selected from the set of specimen that has certain trait (i.e out of 3) while the remaining four specimen will be selected from the rest 40-3=37 specimen.

Thus, the probability of choosing only 1 of the 5 specimens with the trait is equal to

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{37}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.

Answer:

Low Enzyme Production is the reason for no breaking down of food.

Explanation:

If the digestion of food did not occur so it means that there is low enzyme production because enzymes are responsible for the breaking down of food substances into simpler ones in order to absorb by the cells for the generation of energy in the form of ATP. So we can conclude that low enzyme production is the only reason for the stopping of breaking down or digestion of food.

Which of the Caulerpa taxifolia’s traits make it so dangerous to local ecosystem
k0ka [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Caurepa taxifolia is an invasive species of algae and is listed in the IUCN list of 100 invasive species. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In is an algae usually found in the pacific ocean. It was earlier used in aquariums as  an <em>ornamental species of algae</em>. The dangerously invasive nature overshadows its attractive appearance.

It is inedible and  increases in numbers at a surprisingly <em>accelerated rate.</em>  The growth of other plants is difficult in areas dominated by the Caurepa taxifolia. The introduction of this <em>algae was in the Meditteranian sea. </em>
