Bacillus subtilis is a harmless soil microorganism that is easy to grow in the lab. You want to express a protein called "X Factor" from Bacillus subtilis in E. coli. You think it may help in the synthesis of a vitamin. You know that the G C content of the "low G C" B. subtilis genome is very different from the E. coli genome (~50% G C). Which of the following are things you want to consider as you design this new E. coli strain that will produce X Factor

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

the alkaline earth metals (beryllium (be), magnesium (mg), calcium (ca), strontium (sr), barium (ba), and radium (ra)) are a group of chemical elements in the s-block of the periodic table with very similar properties: shiny. silvery-white. hopefully this ? i didn't fully understand the question
