Anions are negatively charged particles. The water molecule is a polar molecule, that means that, it is partly positive and partly negative. The oxygen atoms in the water molecules are more electronegative more than the hydrogen atoms and they draw the shared electron nearer to themselves than the hydrogen atoms; this make them to be slightly negatively charged while the hydrogen atom is slightly positively charged.
Therefore in solution, the anions would be attracted toward the hydrogen atom that is slightly positive while the cations will be attracted to oxygen atom that is slightly negative.

Which of the following is not necessarily true of metapopulations?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option C, Each subpopulation is linked to all other subpopulations by dispersal.

Explanation:

Each sub-population with in a metapopulation is not only connected by the dispersal distance travelled by an organism but also by the distance between the patches on which two sub population live. There are several other factors that limitise the concept of connection of subpopulation by dispersal factor and these vulnerable factors are – properties of terrain between the patches and its adverse affect on the dispersal behaviour of dispersing agent/species.

Hence, option C is correct.

How many nucleotides are needed to code for an amino acid
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Three nucleotide

Explanation:

Three nucleotides are required to code for one amino acid. There are four types of nucleotides A, T, G, C which make DNA. So a doublet of nucleotide code which involves only two nucleotide would be insufficient to code for 20 amino acids because if 4 different nucleotide is taken two at a time then it can only produce 16 amino acid(4²=16).

But if we take three-nucleotide than the number reaches 64 which is more than sufficient to code for 20 different amino acids(4³= 64). Therefore 3 nucleotides are needed to code for an amino acid.

In order for transcription to happen, DNA must
nalin [4]

Answer: <u>Unwind </u>

Explanation: Transcription is a process where a DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA. A complementary mRNA strand is made from the DNA strand. This mRNA is then later used to make proteins. In this process the junk information, present in DNA in form of introns is also spliced.

DNA is a double stranded structure, which is present in helical structure and both the strands are twisted together. In order to make the mRNA copy with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase, DNA must open up. Then only RNA polymerase will be able to access the nucleotides of DNA.

Which illness is most closely associated with time-temperature abused rice or other starchy foods?
pav-90 [236]
The answer is <span>Bacillus cereus

It is a bacteria responsible for some foodborne illnesses that can be found on rice products, potatoes, and pasta. This can be prevented through time and temperature control. The effect on a person having this kind of bacteria is nausea and diarrhea. 

One solution to prevent this is to give the right temperature through right cooling so germs cannot multiply. </span>
