Q:

Puzzle : Blueberries and Cups

Maria have some blueberries and some cups. If she put 9 blueberries into each cup she will have two cups left. If she put 6 blueberries into each cup she will have three blueberries left over.

Answer

The number of blueberries is equal to number of cups multiplied by 4 minus one left.


That is :


      B = 9(C - 2) -> (1)


Then the number of blueberries will be equal to the number of cups times three plus one left.


That is :


      B = 6C + 3 -> (2)


Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations:


      B = 9(C - 2)


      B = 6C + 3


      C = 7, B = 45.


Therefore Blueberries = 45 and cups = 7.

C) Different genetic mutations cause few forms of cancer. D) Somatic mutations can be inherited from parents or acquired during life.

Explanation:

Mutations are accidents in the copying of DNA. A genetic mutation is a random change in the DNA that is passed on further generations of cells and or organisms. 

 

Genetic mutations are accidental changes in the DNA in the germ cells or early in the formation of the embryo. These changes if they are in the germ cell will be passed on to other organisms formed by sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction. An example would be the golden delicious apple. A lost of genetic information due to a mutation resulted in a different color of fruit.

 

Genetic mutations that cause diseases are not always passed on to offspring.
