recent litter of mouse pups, one mouse was born with white fur. Which of the following could have caused this change in fur color?
A. a mutation in the DNA sequence of the gene for brown fur
B. recombination between genes for fur color
C. All of these choices are correct

Answer:

A mutation in the DNA sequence of the gene for brown fur  

Explanation:

The mutations are capable of changing the encoded protein product, in this case the gene that encodes for the fur color pigment. This mutation may have occurred during mitosis or meiosis divisions.

If it is a spontaneous mutation that occurred in the germinal line (meiosis) and confers an adaptive advantage, it will increase their frequency in the population.

What are the different types of connective tissue? where in the body could each be found?
GrogVix [38]
The different types of the Connective tissue are the Cartilage, Bone Tissue, White Adipose Tissue, Fascia, Fibrocartilage, Hyaline Cartilage, Elastic Cartilage, Costal Cartilage, Brown Adipose Tissue, and Adventitia....


Cartilage- Found in the Joints between bones, the elbow, your knees and ankles, the vertebrae, and on the end of ribs

Bone Tissue- Bone Tissue is found in small blood vessels, epithelium, and the nerves.

White Adipose Tissue- Is located beneath the skin, around internal organs, in bone marrow, and the breast tissue

Fascia-<span>This is the dense fibrous connective tissue that interpenetrates and surrounds the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels of the </span>body<span>. This suspends the organs within their cavities and wraps them in layers of connective tissue membranes.

Fibrocartilage- Found in the public </span>symphysis, the anulus fibrosis of intervertebral discs.

Hyaline Cartilage- Found in the Bronchi, bronchial tubes, costal cartilages, larynx, nose, and the trachea.

Elastic Cartilage- Found in the Epiglottis, and the Pinnae.

Costal Cartilage- Found at the anterior ends of the ribs.

Brown Adipose Tissue- Found in Neonates, brown fat<span> makes up about 5% of the body mass and is </span>located<span> on the back, along the upper half of the spine and toward the shoulders.

Adventitia- Is found in the Connective System and in the nerves.....


I hope this helps with this question you asked!!! It states the different types of the connective tissue and where they can be found!!!! Have a great </span>day!!!

Show a diagram of how ions are formed when a sodium atom comes into close
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The diagram is attached below.

Explanation:

when sodium and chlorine comes close together they form anion and cation. The compound formed is called sodium chloride.

Both atoms bonded together through ionic bond.

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.
