If lions attack the slowest animal in a herd, it is beneficial to the herd in the following ways:

1.) Evolutionarily, the faster herd members survive and breed, increasing the speed of the offspring and guaranteeing better survival for the future population.
2.) The lions focus on the straggling animal, allowing the rest of the herd to escape.
3.) The death of one herd member ensures the survival of many more.

3. Given the inequality 4x + 5y 2 12, determine
Anika [276]

Answer:

x= 0, y = 2

Explanation:

4x + 5y +2 = 12

Let's suppose that

x = 0

y = 2

By putting the values of x and y

4(0) + 5( 2) + 2  = 12

0 + 10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12

Hence, it is proved that x = 0 and y = 2

baherus [9]

Answer:

At least 17 PCR cycles or 16 PCR cycles

Explanation:

As we know -

In one chain of  heating and cooling  of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the strands of DNA gets doubled.

The general mathematical representation of this is

{2^n - (2 *  n)}

where "n" is the number of PCR cycles.

It is given that DNA strands  to be produced is 16 times the original quantity of DNA.

So the PCR cycle must be carried out at least 17 times in order to have DNA strand not less  than 16 times the original quantity of DNA

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The correct answer is a increase in 3-phosphoglycerate levels and a decrease in RUBP levels.

Explanation:

NADPH is a reducing equivalent that is produced during light reaction of photosynthesis.The NADPH that is produced during light react is utilized in the dark reaction.

  A decrease NADPH formation in the chroloplast will in turn decrease the formation of PGALD from phosphoglyceric acid(PGA).Some PGALD are used in the regeneration of ribulose bis phosphate(RUBP).

  From this point of view it can be stated that decrease in NADPH level decreases PGALD level which in turn decreases RUBP levels.

  As NADPH production is decreased in the chloroplast more phophoglyceric acid or 3-phosphoglycerate will accumulate thus the cellular level of PGA is increased.
