Hello!
The genetic material of all organisms which is made up of two twisted strands in a double helix is called DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid)
DNA is the basis of all genetic information. It contains all instructions for the development and functioning of all living organisms and some viruses. The main function of DNA is the long-term storage of information to build other cell components like Proteins and RNA. It is composed of two strands with 4 possible bases which are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).
Have a nice day!
Mass equals density times volume
Because D=m/v
Multiply by v
Dv=m
Powered sulfur is yellow, and powdered iron is gray. When powered sulfur are mixed at 20 degrees C, the powered iron remains magnetic.
Answer : The correct answer is, (c) the number of neutrons
Explanation :
Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
For example : For Carbon - 13 isotope.
Mass number = 13
Atomic number = 6
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
Number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7
Hence, the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is the number of neutrons.
