Ionic bonding involves electrostatic interactions between oppositely charged ions, and can significantly enhance the binding strength of biomolecules immobilized to materials.

A chemical link known as an ionic bond occurs when an electron is transferred from one atom to another. Ionic bonding requires the presence of an electron acceptor and an electron donor, which is frequently a metal (often a nonmetal). Electrovalence is the process of moving electrons. A positive ion, also known as a cation, is created when an atom loses one or more electrons. The other atom that picks up one or more electrons will change into a negative ion known as an anion. The elemental name is modified by adding a -ide at the end to designate the ion that accepts the electron. For instance, the name of the anion of chlorine is chloride while the anion of sulfur is sulfide.

Why can't dna, rna, and proteins be used to compare only dead organisms?
mart [117]

I am not too sure, but I believe it is because DNA is actually apart of living organisms along with Protein. So it can't only be compared with dead organisms but they can be living.

Scientists have successfully cloned animals, including mammals such as sheep. Which statement provides the most likely reason th
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4) Some people consider human genetic experiments

unethical.

Explanation:

1) Humans have DNA that is structurally very different from

other mammals.

2) Cloning can only he performed on animals that normally

reproduce asexually.

3) Human genes are made of too many different types of

simple sugars.

4) Some people consider human genetic experiments

unethical.

The statement that provides the most likely reason that a human has not yet been cloned is that some people consider human genetic experiment unethical.

<em>Option 1 is incorrect because human DNA is similar in structure to other living organisms with components such as a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar and purine/pyrimidine bases.</em>

<em>Option 2 is incorrect because cloning is not limited to asexually reproducing organisms only. Sheep, for example, produces only sexually and has been successfully been cloned.</em>

<em>Option 3 is incorrect because human genes, just like every other organisms is consist of DNA with deoxyribose pentose sugar being one of the components. The situation of too many different types of simple sugars doe not arise.</em>

The correct option is 4.
