The answer is C: "<span>A body cell has 46 chromosomes; a sex cell has 23"</span>

Answer is: C. A body cell has 46 chromosomes; a sex cell has 23.

Chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

Chromosomes in humans are divided into two types:

1) body chromosomes or autosomes.

2) sex chromosomes or allosomes.

When sex cells unite during fertilization, the haploid cells (23 chromosomes) become a diploid cell (46 chropmosomes).

Body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), giving a total of 46 per cell.

How many electrons does carbon lack in its outer shell? biochemistry
tekilochka [14]
A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />

Why do atoms tend to be bonded to other atoms?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms

Explanation:

Like for example let's say ionic bonds..... Since one atom has to lose specific electrons to be stable and the other needs the electrons from the other atom to be stable.....

Which of the four cars had the least net force applied to it when it was launched down the ramp
castortr0y [4]

The least net force applied : Car 3(12 N)

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object  

∑F = m. a  

Car 1 ⇒m=0.5 kg, a=36 m/s²

\tt \sum F=0.5\times 36=18~N

Car 2⇒m=0.8 kg, a=50 m/s²

\tt \sum F=0.8\times 50=40~N

Car 3⇒m=0.6, a=20 m/s²

\tt \sum F=0.6\times 20=12~N

Car 4⇒m=1, a=19~m/s²

\tt \sum=1\times 19=19~N

What are you suppose to do for number 8?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

See the images below  

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a dot diagram of an atom, you locate the element in the Periodic Table and figure out how many valence electrons it has. Then you distribute the electrons as dots around the atom,

a. Silicon.

Si is in Group 14, so it has four valence electrons.

b. Xenon

Xenon is in Group 18, so it has eight valence electrons. We group them as four pairs around the xenon atom.

c. Calcium

Calcium is in Group 2, so it has two valence electrons. They are in a single subshell, so we write them as a pair on the calcium atom.

d. Water

Oxygen is in Group 16, so it has six valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron, so there are eight valence electrons.

Chemists often use a dash to represent a pair of electrons in a bond.
