- Translated from Portuguese language:
"The word atom has a Greek origin, meaning indivisible. Why was this term chosen to describe the particles that form matter? Is the atom really indivisible?".
Answer:
- An atom is termed as the basic unit for generating or creation of the different complex structures, as they are characterized by the different shapes and properties due to position or alignment of the different number of atoms inside the given parameters or are of the object.
- It was a belief in the early times that atom is not divisible further in to small sub atomic parts, this concept was improved by the experiments of the cathode ray tube etc.
Explanation:
- However, the atom is comprised of the following subatomic particles which are as follows:
- The nucleus is comprised of the protons(positrons) and neutrons.
- While, the outer region or the cloud is comprised of the electrons inside the different shells and orbits.
Scientific methods must be supported by observations and results from many investigations and are not absolute.
The porcupine is a rodent with an unusual trait. Porcupines have sharp spines or quills that help protect it against its predators. This trait is different from other rodents because of its needle like quills. This animal is also similar to that of a hedgehogs.
Answer:
15
Explanation:
According to linkage theory, two genes present on the same chromosome tend to get inherited together. So the gametes produced are not equal in number and parental type offspring are observed more in number than the new recombinant types.
Here, normal wings, red eyes (420) and vestigial wings, purple eyes (430) are most in number hence they are the parental type offspring.
Vestigial wings, red eyes = 80 : recombinant
Normal wings, purple eyes = 70 : recombinant
Distance between two genes in cM = recombination frequency = (total number of recombinants / total progeny)*100
= [(80+70)/(420+80+70+430)]*100
= (150/1000)*100
= 0.15*100 = 15cM
