3 0

<u>Given:</u>

No. of protons = 8

No. of Neutrons = 9

No. of electrons = 8

<u>To find:</u>

Atomic mass =?

<u>Formula to be used:</u>

Atomic mass = No. of protons + No. of Neutrons

<u>Answer:</u>

Atomic mass = No. of protons + No. of Neutrons

Atomic mass = 8 + 9

Atomic mass = 11

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atom is composed of three subatomic particles namely proton, electron, and neutron. The composition of these sub atomic particles is used to calculate the atomic mass.

The atomic mass of the element is nothing but the sum up value of the total <em>number of protons and neutrons</em> present in the nucleus of the atom of the element.

According to the given data, the atomic mass of the element with 8 protons and 9 neutrons is found as <em>11</em>.

The cleft chin trait follows a dominant-recessive inheritance pattern with cleft chin being the dormant trait. john is heterozyg
ANTONII [103]
Let's say that the genotype of the couples are:

Cc and Cc. Notice that one is capital and the other is not. This is what shows that they are heterozygous. We put this now in a Punnet Square:
    C   c
C CC Cc
c  Cc  cc

This means that there is a 75% chance that their children will have a cleft-chin and 25% will not.

The probability is the same with each off-spring. So the answer would be 75% chance the same probability for all subsequent children.
