Answers

*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt
in medium-sized packs - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
female and hunt in medium-sized
packs - 15%

*Solution

Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species,

1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then,

a. The number of female wolves is

(55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves

b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

(20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves

Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves.

c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

(15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves

2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is,

55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting = 40 female wolves not
in medium-sized packs hunting in medium
sized packs

3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed.

For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of

   40
100

and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,

  40/10
100/10

4
10

When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get,

       4     x 100% = 40%
10

Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.

The empty trna moves off and picks up another matching amino acid from the cytoplasm in the cell. the anticodon of the trna, with its attached amino acid, pairs to the codon of the mrna, which is attached to a ribosome. this sequence is repeated until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mrna, which signals the end of protein synthesis. the ribosome forms a peptide bond between the amino acids, and an amino acid chain begins to form. when a second trna with its specific amino acid pairs to the next codon in sequence, the attached amino acid breaks from the first trna and is bonded to the amino acid of the second trna.
