In an ionic compound, the attraction between actions and _________ hold the compound together

Biology

Nady [450]3 years ago

Answer: 
            The correct option in blank is anion.

Explanation:
                  Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to another atom. When an electropositve atom lose an electron it form cation, whereas as anion is formed when an atom gain an electron. These actions and anions then attract each other and form an ionic compound.
I hope it will help you.

Example:
              The formation of NaCl is best example of ionic compound. Na has one electron in its outer most shell which can easily be removed to form Na+, while Cl has seven electron in its outer most shell so it can easily gain an electron lost by Na to form Cl-. Then these ions attract each other and form NaCl as shown in the figure.

Explain how mitotic recombination leads to the mosaic condition termed twin spots.
postnew [5]

Answer:

If an individual Drosophila has two or more populations of cells comprising different genotypes from one single egg then it is termed as twin spots or mosaic.

Explanation:

There might be different reasons for mosaic to occur like

Nondisjunctioning of the chromosomes

Lag in anaphase

Endoreplication

Mutations in a single cell

Mitotic recombination:

One of the major ways through which mosaic or twin spots arise is the mitotic recombination. It is also termed as somatic cross over. Twin spot or mosaic generally occurs if there is linking of heterozygous genes in repulsion. The recombination generally happens among the centromeres from the adjacent genes.

A common example of the mitotic recombination is the Bloom's syndrome. Bloom's syndrome is caused due to the mutation that occurs in the <em>blm</em> gene. As a result, there are defects in the BLM protein produced.

A student's grade goes from a 95 to a 65 in 3 weeks. Calculate
steposvetlana [31]

-10grade/week

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial grade = 95grade

Final grade = 65grade

Time = 3weeks

Unknown parameter:

Rate of change of grade = ?

Solution:

Rate is defined as the change of a quantity with time.

 Rate of change of grade  = \frac{Final grade - Initial grade}{Time}

Rate of change of grade  = \frac{65 - 95}{3} = \frac{-30}{3}

Rate of change of grade = -10grade/week

The rate of change of the student's grade is -10grade/week. It implies that the grade of the student reduces by 10unit per week.
