The atomic number of an isotope is the number of protons it contains, whereas the mass number is the total mass of the nucleus, which is the combined number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons, you must therefore subtract the atomic number of the isotope from the mass number of the isotope. 
<span>In the above example, the atomic number is 8 and the mass number is 18. This isotope is known as O18. The number of neutrons in the isotope is: Mass number - Atomic number = Number of neutrons

A sample of DNA contains 120 nucleotides, if 35 nucleotides are Guanine, how many nucleotides are Thymine?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

25

Explanation:

In DNA, Guanine pairs with Cytosine, and Thymine pairs with Adenine. This tells us that there are equal numbers for each Guanine and Cytosine, and Thymine and Adenine. When there's 35 Guanine, there should be 35 Cytosine that goes with it. 120 - 2(35) = 50. The remaining 50 nucleotides are Thymine and Adenine, and since they are the same number, divide 50 by 2. 50 ÷ 2 = 25. There are 25 thymine in the sample of DNA.

Dima020 [189]
I believe that in this community the tadpoles are: the primary consumers. A n ecological community is the set of all populations of all species found in a given place. Primary consumers are mainly herbivores which feed on plants; which are the primary producers of all the energy in an ecosystem. In this case the tadpoles eat algae (primary producer) thus they are primary consumer.

-Gap junctions are a specialized intercellular connection between a multitude of animal cell-types. they are organized collections of protein channels in cell membranes that allows ions and small molecules to pass between adjacent cells.

-Gap junctions allow the exchange of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells and are formed by two unrelated protein families, the pannexins and connexins.
