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}

Bacteria with the ability to break down certain types of plastic are placed with a colony of E. coli bacteria that lack this abi
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

D. Plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits

Explanation:

A Nucleic acid is one of the four biomolecule polymers in living systems. It is made up of monomeric units called Nucleotides. RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in existence and they function in storage and expression of genetic information.

According to the question, a colony of bacteria that can break plastics were mixed with the colony that can't break plastics. The two different colonies engage plamids, which conferred the ability to break plastics to some of the colonies that previously couldn't. This tells us that the ability to break plastics in the certain bacteria colony is GENETIC.

If the trait is genetic, the plasmid must be a nucleic acid because of the ability to genetically pass on traits. Note that, a plasmid is an extra-chromosomal DNA (nucleic acid) capable of replicating on its own. Hence, plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits.

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>

The Sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems. The Sun emits______ . When an organism obtains nutrients by feeding on o
Burka [1]

This scientific law is called as Law of conservation of energy.

Sun is the primary source of energy .Energy once produced by the sun is then utilized by the organisms at various tropic levels. The energy is transferred from one organism to another. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. This is called as law of conservation of energy. Plants uses sunlight and make food   and the energy is then transferred to organisms eating it. When the organism dies the energy is released into the environment. This cycle continues and the the law of conservation of energy is maintained.
