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

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Option A,  Ohio River and the Missouri River

Explanation:

The historical evidences clearly indicate that Ohio River did not exist before the last ice advances. Before Ohio and Missouri river, the major glacier drainage of the east-west direction happens in Teays River. When ice of the glaciers blocked the Teaya river valley, then the Ohio was formed.

Like Ohio, Missouri river did also not exist before Pleistocene and during that time the largest drainage in North America take place in the Hudson's Bay

Hence, option A is correct

In mitosis of a single cell, what happens to the nucleus
Readme [11.4K]
A unique feature of the nucleus is that it disassembles and re-forms each time mostcells divide. At the beginning of mitosis, the chromosomes condense, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down, resulting in the release of most of the contents of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
