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

For each of the following statements, indicate
stepan [7]

The plants that were allowed to self pollinate were the F1 plants.

The plants that are true breeding are P generation plants.

The plants where there were 3times as many tall plants as short plants are in F2 generation.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

This question is based on the Mendel’s Experiment. Sir Gregor Johann Mendel was the father of genetics who experimented on garden pea plants <em>Pisum</em> <em>sativum</em> to see whether the characters got mixed or not and to know the real cause behind different traits of same character in plants.

He took the pure homozygous tall and short plants separately which he called as parental generation or P generation. These plants were homozygous, hence pure breeding.

As these plants were crossed between themselves, then the F1 generation showed all tall plants. This is because of the heterozygous plants which showed character of dominant trait. These plants were allowed to self pollinate.

As a result of self pollination of the F1 plants, the F2 plants were 75% tall in number whereas the other 25% short, which gave the phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

What is the difference between ice and snow.

Answer:

Though ice and snow are both made up of water, there is a difference between the two. Snow is nothing but the frozen atmospheric vapour which falls in winters on earth as light flakes whereas ice is simply frozen water.
