Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a solution has pH less than 7 then it is known as an acidic solution. In an acidic solution there are more number of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.

Mathematically,       pH = -[log]\frac{1}{[H^{+}}]}[/tex]

where               [H^{+}] = concentration of hydrogen ions

Whereas when a solution has pH more than 7 then it is known as a basic solution. In a basic solution there are more number of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.

Hence, we can conclude that the presence of an acid in a water solution affect the pH of the solution as it raises the pH.

Why must you use the same number of beads when you construct the second chromosome in Step 1?
Masteriza [31]
You should use the same amount of beads for both chromosomes because they need to match in size.
I am assuming you are making a pair of homologous chromosomes out of pop beads, and they should have the same size because they code the same information, the only difference between them is that one comes from the mother and ther other from the father. (Homologous chromossomes have the same genes in the same loci).
