Biology
2 answers:
erica [24]3 years ago

Answer and explanation;

The atomic mass of a single atom is simply its total mass and is typically expressed in atomic mass units or amu.

Atomic mass is typically calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons together, ignoring the electrons because of their small size. Protons and neutrons are the larger particles, and are found in the nucleus, which is the core of the atom.

For example; An atom of Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, it is given an atomic mass of 12 a.m.u which makes each proton and neutron in the nucleus of any element contribute 1 a.m.u to the atom's atomic mass.

What are the possible consequences if only one egg is implanted
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
  <span>are we talking human reproduction? in this case only 1 egg is implanted. in unusual cases there could be 2 eggs implanted meaning fraternal twins. if 1 egg splits, we get identical twins. with only one egg implanted, there is only 1 kid being produced. 

the female has eggs stored from birth. 1 ovary 'pops' once a month to either be discarded via a period or implanted after fertilization. multiple eggs released is usually the effect of fertility drugs making many eggs get released at once. this is unusual unless fertility drugs are in use</span>
