Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5500 years. 
The original mass is 30 g and the new mass is 3.75 g. 
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives; 
3.75 = 30 × (1/2)^n
 1/8 = (1/2)^n
 n = 3 
Thus, the time taken will be; 3 × 5500 = 16500 years.

The study of evolutionary relationships among organisms is called - phylogeny or phylogenetics

Phylogenetics

is the study of the evolutionary relationships among organisms

  • The evolutionary relationship refers to the similarities of the living organisms evolved from the common ancestors in
  1. structure,
  2. breeding behavior,
  3. geographical distribution,
  4. chromosomes,
  5. biochemistry
  • It shows how closely related two organisms are in evolution.

Solution 1
The three domain system divides organisms into groups based on similarities in their ribosomal RNA. The three domains in the three domain system are the archaea, eukarya and the bacteria. The domains Archaea and bacteria are all prokaryotic microorganisms, or single-celled organisms whose cells have no nucleus. Domain Eukarya on the other hand has organisms whose cells have nucleus. 
Question
When baroreceptors sense a drop in blood pressure, the vasomotor center responds by: multiple choice triggering peripheral vasoconstriction suppressing cardiac function triggering peripheral vasodilation reducing vasomotor tone?
Solution 1
When baroreceptors sense a drop in blood pressure, the vasomotor center responds by triggering peripheral vasoconstriction. When there is decreased blood pressure thei baroreceptor firing decreases, thus decreasing the activity of cardiac inhibitor centers, and increasing the activity of accelerator centers and the vasomotor center, therefore this results to an increased cardiac output and an increased vasoconstriction which results to increases blood pressure back to normal.

Solution 1
The figures in the deer hunt wall panting from catal hoyuk are rendered in the composite view, which describes what a human body is, as opposed to its appearance from specific viewpoint. Catal hoyuk has a most remarkable mural, a landscape, which is a picture of a natural setting in its own right without any narrative content. 
Question
Under what conditions does the trp repressor block transcription of the trp operon?
Solution 1
The trp repressor blocks transcription of the trp operon when the repressor binds to tryptophan. The trp repressor or the tryptophan repressor is a transcription factor that is involved in controlling amino acid metabolism. In the trp operon, tryptophan binds to the repressor protein thus effectively blocking gene transcription. 
Solution 2

Answer:

when the repressor binds to tryptophan

Explanation:

Solution 1
Upon swallowing, food moves from the mouth directly into the oropharynx. Swallowing involves three stages; the oral phase where food is chewed and mixed with the saliva to form bolus, Pharyngeal phase where the vocals fold close to keep food and liquids from entering the airway, and the Esophageal stage where the bolus moves into the esophagus, the muscular tube that contracts to push the bolus into the stomach. 
Question
Transplanting genetic material into bacteria is a simple task true or false
Solution 1
I think the above statement is true. Bacteria can exchange genetic material through; transformation where the bacterium takes up foreign DNA from its surroundings, Through transduction; where viruses carry bacterial gene from one bacterium to another, also through conjugation; where two temporarily joined bacteria directly transfer genetic material. 
Question
Two species of antelope ground squirrels are separated by the grand canyon. they are hypothesized to descend from a common ancestor, populations of which were separated as the canyon formed. if this hypothesis is correct, it would be an example of: sympatric speciation by vicariance. sympatric speciation by dispersal. peripatric speciation by vicariance. allopatric speciation by vicariance. allopatric speciation by dispersal.
Solution 1
For the answer to the question above, I think the answer is "allopatric speciation by vicariance".

it is an event that can occur either by dispersal when a few members of a certain species move to a new land or geographical area.
I hope this helps
Solution 2

Answer:

Allopatric speciation by vicariance.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation by vicaria occurs when two populations of a species are separated by a geographical barrier. This geographical barrier, which can be a gorge, for example, as shown in the question above. This barrier causes a spatial separation. In this case, we say that a geographic isolation has occurred.

When these populations separate, they may come under different pressures as they are in different areas. These pressures, over time, lead to genetic divergence and, consequently, possible reproductive isolation. Many consider this kind of speciation as the main model of speciation.

Question
Vitamin d regulates the absorption of ______ from the small intestine. calcium and fluoride phosphorus and magnesium calcium and magnesium calcium and phosphorus
Solution 1
The answer is calcium. Vitamin D increases absorption of calcium in the small intestines. 1,25Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3), which is the hormonally active form of vitamin D, is responsible for influencing the active absorption of calcium in the intestines. Active form involves transcellular pathways.
Question
Keith is having a complete fitness evaluation done at a health center. one of the measurements being taken is how much energy he expends while jogging on a treadmill, which is his calorie intake. basal metabolic rate. resting metabolic rate. exercise metabolic rate.
Solution 1
For the answer to the question above, I believe they are trying to know his "Exercise metabolic rate"

This is done to know what is the direct effect of an activity on his metabolic rate. I hope this helps. Have a nice day!
