How Many Ion Does The Element Boron Has?

Biology
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
8 0
Boron's atomic number is 5, so for its 5 protons, it should have 5 electrons if it's neutral.

To make it an ion, Boron's charge would have to be negative or positive. It could lose one electron to have a charge of +1, gain an electron to be -1 ion.

Ions aren't at specific number. So the answer depends on Boron's tendency to gain or lose electrons.

Which of the following is NOT a source of genetic variation?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) age of either or both parents.

Explanation:

Genetic variation is the difference in nucleotide sequences between individuals organisms within a particular population. Variation can occur either in germ cells that are sperm and egg or in somatic cells or in both.

Random fertilization of egg and sperm can lead to genetic variation is every germ cell has a different set of chromosomes. Independent assortment of chromosomes is also the same as random fertilization as it is also random. Crossing over of homologous chromosomes is one of a major source of the genetic variation as it forms a new set of chromosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is option D) age of either or both parents.

fomenos

Answer:

As skin cells move toward the surface of the body, they produce a protein that reduces water loss. This process is called Keratinization.

Explanation:

Keratinization is a process which changes the stratum corneum of the skin to a hard cover which provides protection.

The process of keratinization involves polymerization of keratin polypeptides. The keratin polypeptides gets polymerized into intermediate filaments of keratin. Each of the intermediate filament of keratin constitute around 30,000 polypeptides of keratin.
