<span>The
mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that are found in the
nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the
number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. So the number of neutrons are 20 (mass number) - 5 (atomic number) = 15 neutrons.</span>
Answer:
A) Chromosomes are made of DNA
C) Alleles are the different forms of a gene that can exist
D) Chromosomes contain genes that control the inheritance of traits.
Explanation:
Chromosomes are long molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain part (or all) of the genetic material of an organism. Humans contain 46 chromosomes organized in 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, X and Y). Moreover, a gene is a physical segment of a chromosome that contains the information to encode a protein. Alleles are different forms of a gene (i.e., gene variants) that may be caused by mutations or genetic recombination. Humans are diploid organisms (2N: 46), and therefore we have two copies of each gene (alleles), one on each homologous chromosome.
Hello.
The answer is transpiration.
Have a great day! :)
Answer:
There are two possible answers: Deep-sea vents provided the energy needed for the first organic compounds to form OR self-replicating RNA molecules passed on genetic information.
Explanation:
The reason for the first answer is due to the hypothesis that indicates that life (organic molecules) arose from inorganic molecules synthesized from the amino acids in those energy vents. This is called the metabolism first hypothesis. The Miller-Urey Experiment provided evidence that organisms could rise from inorganic molecules (they simulated under the conditions you would see on early Earth). The second hypothesis is the RNA World hypothesis (second answer) which suggests that the formation of RNA that could replicate (possible due to mutation or evolution), led to life that could preserve its genetic integrity through replication (greater stability to the organism) and create lipid bi-layer membranes/other organelles. Some scientists support the Metabolism First Hypothesis, while others are skeptical (this goes for the RNA World Hypothesis as well). However, the RNA World Hypothesis is for more reasonable in the fact that its main point is the fact that RNA molecules were able to replicate and maintain genetic stability despite early Earth conditions. Although either hypothesis could explain why all organisms share the same genetic code, the RNA World Hypothesis better explains the universality of DNA/RNA of genes that we see today.
Answer:
The cognitive abilities of an individual to learn from experience, to reason well, and to cope effectively with the demands of daily living
Explanation:
Intelligence is something that can actually be measured, even though it is not a physical, but a psychological trait. The humans had wanted to be able to measure their intelligence for quite some time, but that only became possible with the development of the modern psychology and the test specially created for this purpose. The intelligence represents the cognitive abilities of an individual to learn from experiences, how well can it reason, as well as to cope effectively with the demands of the daily living. To put it more simple, it is the ability of an individual to acquire and apply skills and knowledge in its life.
