The first law of thermodynamics states that (unknown symbol) e = q - w. how is this also a statement of principle of conservation energy? (20 points! )

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and thermodynamics processes are therefore subject to the principles of conservation of energy. The principle of conservation of energy on the other hand states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.

The mathematical equation for the first law of thermodynamic states that

E = Q - W,

Where E = change in internal energy

Q = Heat added to the system and

W = Work done by the system.

This equation shows that, energy is conserved in the system, that is, the change internal energy of a system is a function of the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system. Thus, all the energy supply to the system has been accounted for and nothing is lost; this is in agreement with the principle of conservation of energy.

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
