- How does the DNA molecule produce a copy of itself?arrow_forwardAfter the first covid-19 case found in Olde town, a group of volunteers started counting the number of case and kept the record of number of infected people in daily basis. After collecting data for 18 days they made a graph as shown in the figure. It was perfect exponential trendline fit. The fit equation is shown in the plot. The equation has 0.2 multiplying the days.

- A certain strain of bacteria will divide itself from 1 to 2 every to [minute]. As a result, its population can be modeled as N (t) = No2. ---(eq 1) N(t) is the population at time t, NO is the population at the beginning = 100, t = time you wait [minute]. You prepare 6 dishes. Each dish contains 100 living bacteria at the beginning. Then you wait for 20 mins, freeze the first dish to stop the bacteria in the dish from growing. Then wait for another 20 mins, freeze the second dish (i.e. the total growth time for the second dish is 40 min). Proceed to the next dish in the similar process until all 6 dishes are done. After counting all the dish, you collect the data between time and population as follow: t(min) N(t) 20 132 220 40 60 311 80 369 100 622 120 836 Find to (the time for bacteria to divide itself). Answer in [min] Note: if you apply log function on both sides of eq 1 you get In (N (t)) =t. n2 + In(No). ---(eq 2)arrow_forwardInsecticide resistance If the frequency of a gene for insecticide resistance is p (a constant), then its frequency in the next generation is given by the expression p(1 + s) f = 1 + sp where s is the reproductive advantage this gene has over the wild type in the presence of the insecticide. Often the selective advantage s is very small. Approximate the frequency in the next generation with a linear approxima- tion, given that s is small.arrow_forwardQ2The radioactive isotope of lead, Pb-209, decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at time t and has a half-life of3.3 hours.
