Which of the fallowing describes the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15

Biology

Nitrogen-14 has a mass number of 14 which means that it has a total of 14 protons and neutrons. When you subtract the atomic number of nitrogen from the mass number of 14 you get the number of neutrons (14-7), which gives you 7 neutrons. Now for nitrogen-15, you have a different mass number which means there is a different amount of neutrons (15-7), 8 neutrons. So the difference is the mass numbers and the number of neutrons (the number of protons remains the same however). When there are two versions of the same element, and they have the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons and different mass numbers, they are called isotopes. Hope this helped :)

Answer:

Nitrogen-14 has 14 protons and neutrons, where nitrogen-15 has 15 protons and neutrons. Nitrogen-14 has a mass number of 14. Nitrogen-15 has a mass number of 15.

I hope this was helpful.

Which of the following is not common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division?
julsineya [31]

The correct answer is: A checkpoint will be activated if the spindle does not attach to a kinetochore.

Prokaryotes, do not undergo mitosis (like eukaryotes) and therefore have no need for a mitotic spindle. Prokaryotes also don’ t have checkpoints foor the regulation of cell division.

Normal eukaryotic cells (unlike cancer cells), move through the cell cycle in a regulated way in order to make sure that cells don't divide under conditions that are unfavorable for them. Information about their own internal state (nutrients, signal molecules, DNA integrity) is signal to go or not to go through the cell division. Because of that there are few checkpoints in the cell cycle at which the cell examines the signals and makes a “decision”. The major checkpoints are:

• The G1- the first point at which it must choose, once it passes the G1 checkpoint the cell enters S phase

• The G2-the cell checks DNA integrity and checks if replication is done well.

• The spindle checkpoint-at the transition from metaphase to anaphase.
