Mass number minus atomic number =neuton

Paul [167]4 years ago

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

.. Which of the following mutations would have the potential to affect future generations of
ch4aika [34]

Answer choices:

  • A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
  • A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
  • A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
  • A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell

Answers:

A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell

Explanation:

Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.

Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.

Why do animal cells have many small vacuoles and plant cells have 1 or 2 large vacuoles?
valina [46]
The plant cells vacuole is larger compared to the animals cells' because the plants vacuoles takes up 90% of the cells volumes. Vacuole stores food for the organism. In this case since, plants manufacture their own food, it is necessary for it to have a large storage space or a large vacuole.
