Mass number minus atomic number =neuton

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

What is the anatomy of a bat's wing?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:A bat has a much more flexible wing structure. It is very much like a human arm and hand, except it has a thin membrane of skin (called the patagium) extending between the "hand" and the body, and between each finger bone. Bats can move the wing like a hand, essentially "swimming" through the air.

Which statements about the phylogenetic tree are true?
Alex777 [14]

Image is not avilable fo rthe question. The image is attached below:

The phylogenetic tree shown here displays the major clades of chordates.

Which statements about the phylogenetic tree are true?

A) Organism (c) is a common ancestor of lampreys and lungfishes.

B) Birds and ray-finned fishes have a notochord and jaws.

C) Lancelets and coelacanths are more closely related than are chimaeras and coelacanths.

D) Mammals and turtles are more closely related than are lungfishes and sharks.

E) Rays and frogs have vertebrae.

F) Descendants of organism (d) have limbs with digits.

G) Hagfishes, lungfishes, and frogs have lobed fins.

H) Organism (a) is a common ancestor of all chordates.

Answer:

B, D, F, E, H.

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree is a diagram representing evolutionary relations between species. Phylogenetic trees are not conclusive evidence nor theories. In a phylogenetic tree the pattern of branching illustrates how organisms or other groups developed from a set of similar ancestors.

Some of the examples of phylogenetic tree are as following:

  • A notochord and jaws includes in birds and ray-finned fishes.  
  • Mammals and tortoises are closer to one another than lungfish and sharks are.  
  • Organic Descendants (d) have wings.  
  • Rays and frogs are columned vertebrally.  
  • A shared ancestor of all chordates is the organism (a).

Hence, the true options are B, D, F, E, H.
