Answer: 263

Explanation:

Mass number is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons. In any neutral atom, number of protons = number of electrons

Since the ion has a positive charge +1, it means that it has one less electron than the number of protons.

Why? Because electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged. This implies:

Number of electrons > Number of protons => negative charge

Number of electrons < Number of protons => positive charge

(Important: Neutrons have no charge.)

So, number of protons in the ion = 104 + 1 = 105

Therefore, mass number = 158 + 105 = 263

The mass number of an ion with 104 electrons, 158 neutrons, and a +1 charge is 263.

<h3>How to calculate mass number?</h3>

The mass number of an element can be calculated by summing the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.

The proton number is the same as the atomic number of the element.

According to this question, an ion has 104 electrons, 158 neutrons, and a +1 charge. This means that the ion has 105 protons.

Hence, the mass number of the ion will be 105 + 158 = 263.

Therefore, the mass number of an ion with 104 electrons, 158 neutrons, and a +1 charge is 263.

Imagine a species with three loci thought to be on the same chromosome. The recombination rate between locus A and locus B is 35
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<h2>Recombination rate or recombination frequency between locus A and locus C is either 2% or 50%. </h2>

Explanation:

As given,

Recombination frequency between locus A and B is 35%, means that the distance between A and B is 35 cM.

Recombination frequency between locus B and C is 33% , means the distance between B and C is 33 cM.

Therefore, if the locus C is present between A and B, then the recombination frequency between A and C would be 2%

A-----C ----------B

A---C= 2%

A----B= 35%

B---C= 33%

So, here the recombination frequency between A and C is 2%, means their distance is 2 cM.

If the locus C is as,   A---35---B--33----C ;   A-----B------C

A-----B= 35%

B------C= 33%

A-----C= 33+35= 68%

As rule, maximum frequency can not exceed 50%, as here the Recombination frequency between A and C = 50%.

What is (are) the main product(s) of gene expression?
dsp73

Answer:

Explanation:

Gene expression can be define as a process that occur in every living cell of the organism. It is a process in which information carried by the gene is used for the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are proteins, but from the non-coding regions of the gene products like transfer RNA (t-RNA) or small nuclear RNA (sn-RNA) can also be produced.
