Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Octet rule applies to element and it says that in order to achieve noble gas configuration, the outermost shell (valence shell) must have eight electron.

Given

Number of electrons in fluorine in its outermost shell 7\\

Number of electrons to fulfill the octet rule 8\\

Deficiency of electron = Number of electrons to fulfill the octet rule -Number of electrons in fluorine in its outermost shell

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get

Deficiency of electron = 8 -7 \\= 1\\

Hence, option A is correct.

How did you determine the types of cell division for both phases depicted in your model? Explain your answer.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Cell division is a process that makes our skin, tissues, muscles, sex cells etc. It is the building block of our body.

Explanation:

When parents cells ahs been divided into two or more than two daughter cells then it is called division of cells. The division of cells occur as a larger cell. When we talk about eukaryotic cells, these cells divided into two distinct types of the cells, the vegetative cells.

The daughter cells are the identical to the parents cells genetically. There are two types of division such as mitosis and meiosis. When parents cells divides in daughter cells and daughter cells divided further, this process called the cells cycle. The mitosis cell division occur interphase. Meiosis cell division occur in two phase meiosis I and meiosis II.

How do sarcodines move and trap food <br> 1. oral groove <br> 2. contractile vacuole
Rudiy27
Amoebas use extensions of their cell membrane (called pseudopodia) to move, as well as, to engulf food. When the pseudopodium traps a bit of food, the cell membrane closes around the meal. This encasement forms a food vacuole. Hope this helps.
