The atomic mass of an element

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.

if a human cell with a chromosome number of 46 undergoes meiosis, what number of chromosomes will be in each daughter cell?
KiRa [710]

Explanation:

It's a piece of cake. Here we are provided with the information that a human cell with a chromosome number of 46, undergoes meiosis, what number of chromosomes will be in each daughter cell.

To solve this question first you must be aware about the word meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division. It's end product results in the formation of four daughter cells each having half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

Did you notice? That formed daughter cell will have half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell. Hence, 23 chromosomes will be in each daughter cell.

How do the three types of colorblindness differ in genotype and phenotype?
vfiekz [6]

Normal colour vision (trichromacy) refers to vision that uses all three types of light cones. People with defected trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and these conditions are called anomalous trichromacy. Three types anomalous trichromacy ( one type of cone perceives light slightly) :

1. Protanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to red light

2. Deuteranomaly  - phenotype:  reduced sensitivity to green light

3. Tritanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to blue  

People can also have color blindess as the result of mutation, when loss of function of one cone occurs. This condition is called dichromacy. If there is complete color blindness or monochromacy, the person can’t distinguish any color from grey.

Color blindness is an inherited genetic disorder resulted from mutations on the X chromosome.
