Tutor-Verified Answer

Answer

Autosomes are chromosomes that don't determine sex and carry most of our genetic information. Sex chromosomes, like \(XX\) in females and \(XY\) in males, determine biological sex.

Extra Insights

Autosomes are the chromosomes that are not involved in determining the sex of an individual. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes, which carry genes that influence various traits and functions like eye color, height, and metabolism. These chromosomes look the same in both males and females, playing a crucial role in genetic diversity and inheritance! On the other hand, sex chromosomes are specifically responsible for determining the biological sex of an individual. Humans have one pair of sex chromosomes, which are either XX (female) or XY (male). These chromosomes carry genes linked to sexual development and reproductive functions, making them essential players in the story of heredity!

1. Em 1937, o estadunidense Raymond Haugh criou a unidade de medida Haugh (UH), que é usada até hoje para medir a qualidade interna dos ovos. Considere a equação: \[ Q_{i}=100 \cdot \log \left(H+7,57-1,7 p^{0,37}\right) \] Em que \( Q_{\text {i é a qualidade interna do ovo, em } U H ; H \text { é a espes- }}^{\text {sura da albumina (clara do ovo), em milímetros; e p é o peso }} \) do ovo (com a casca), em gramas. a) Considere um ovo de peso igual a 56,7 gramas e com espessura da albumina igual a 6,08 milímetros. Calcule a qualidade interna desse ovo, em UH. (Dados: log \( 2=0,3 \), log \( 3=0,47 \) e \( 56,70,37=4,5 \) ) b) A qualidade dos ovos é avaliada de acordo com os seguintes valores: inferior (B): \( Q_{i}<60 \); - alta (A): \( 60 \leq Q_{i} \leq 72 \); excelente \( (A A): Q_{i}>72 \). Considere ovos com o mesmo peso do ovo do item a e descreva os intervalos de qualidade do ovo de acordo com a espessura da albumina \( H \).

Suppose a bacteria culture begins with 45 bacteria and after 6 hours the population has grown to 68 bacteria. a) Write a continuous growth function \( P(t)=P_{0} e^{k \cdot t} \) that models the population over time. To do this you will need to solve for the rate of growth. \( P(t)= \) Use \( t \) as your variable and keep at least 4 significant figures on the growth rate. b) According to your model, what is the population after 9 hours? \( P(9)=\square \) bacteria Round to the nearest whole number. c) How long will it take for the population to reach 170 bacteria? \( t=\square \) hours Give your answer accurate to at least 2 decimal places.
