Distinguish ionic and covalent bonds and how they differ

Biology
1 answer:
rewona [7]3 years ago
5 0
Ionic bonds are referred to two elements/molecules that form when one is classified as metal and another is classified as non-metal. Covalent bonds are two non-metal elements that bind together. They differ in several ways. Ionic bonds have a better force of attraction due to the metal element, whereas covalent bonds are formed using the Van de Waals force (which makes it weaker). Ionic bond also has higher melting and boiling point because of its force of attraction as compared to the covalent bond. Similarly, ionic bonds react to electricity where covalent does not.

Class reptilia and class amphibia share many traits. Name these shared traits
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Amphibians are group of animals that live a double life; one in water with gills and the other on land with lungs (at maturity). They include frogs, newts, salamanders etc.

Reptiles ( meaning to creep under shadow of darkness) are group of animals that possess scales. They include snakes, crocodiles, lizards etc.

Reptiles and amphibians are distantly related but share some traits including:

1. They are both poikilothermic (cold-blooded) animals i.e. their body temperature is dependent on that of the environment's.

2. They both lay eggs externally, although that of amphibians is fertilized after being layed

3. They both possess lungs for gaseous exchange, although, amphibians use gills in water.

4. Both reptiles and amphibians belongs to Chordata i.e. they both possess a vertebrae column (backbone)

5. Most reptiles and amphibians make use of the same defensive and attacking traits as a pretty and predator respectively. They employ camouflage, biting and inflating of their body size.

List and describe three molecular methods use to analyze DNA in the laboratory

© 1998, 1999 Gregory Carey Chapter 7: The New Genetics - 1 Chapter 7: The New Genetics—Techniques for DNA Analysis Introduction Before the 1980s, finding the genotype of an individual usually involved various laboratory assays for a gene product—the protein or enzyme. The cases of the ABO and Rhesus blood groups are classic examples of how one infers genotypes from the reaction of gene products with certain chemicals. In the mid 1980s, genetic technology took a great leap forward with the ability to genotype the DNA itself. The geneticist could now examine the DNA directly without going through the laborious process of developing assays to detect individual differences in proteins and enzymes. Direct DNA analysis had the further advantage of being able to identify alleles in sections of DNA that did not code for polypeptide chains. As a result of these new advances, the number of genetic loci that could be detected increased exponentially and soon led to the identification of the genes for disorders that had remained a mystery for the better part of this century. In this chapter, the major molecular techniques are outlined. The purpose is to provide a quick and understandable reference for the social scientist. The content of this chapter is not something that is required to understand genetics, what genes are, or how they relate to human behavior. Indeed, this chapter may be skipped without any great loss of continuity. Hence, only the essentials are given and the reader interested in the laboratory science behind the techniques is referred to contemporary textbooks on molecular genetics. We begin by defining a series of basic tools and techniques. © 1998, 1999 Gregory Carey Chapter 7: The New Genetics - 2 Basic Tools and Techniques: Basic tools: Electrophoresis Electrophoresis is a technique that separates small biological molecules by their molecular weight. It may be applied to molecules as large as proteins and enzymes as well as to small snippets of DNA and RNA. One begins the procedure by constructing a “gel”—a highly viscous material the actual chemistry of which need not concern us. Purified copies of the biological specimen are then injected into a “starting lane” at one end of the gel. Finally, a weak electric current is passed through the gel for a specified amount of time. Gravity and the electric current cause the biological molecules to migrate to the opposite end of the gel. The extent to which any molecule moves depends upon its electrical charge, molecular weight, the viscosity of the gel, the strength of the current, and the amA.
