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.

Lethal genes (genes that result in the failure to develop a vital organ or metabolic pathway) are nearly always recessive. Anima
allsm [11]

Answer: C

Explanation:

When breeders notice a unique trait of interest and selectively breed to increase their population, there is tendency of also increasing the population of lethal genes. This happens via a situation known as inbreeding depression. There is a tendency to mate closely related individuals in a bid to increase the occurrence of a desired phenotype. However, in a situation where these animals have a recessive lethal gene, it may result in a double recessive thus becoming obvious in the population.

I really don’t understand this please help
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

So, say the bottom row is equal to 10,000 Cal of energy. Multiply that by .1 to get 1,000 for the consumers because they get and use only 10% of the consumers energy. The next row of consumers, the frog, would get 100 Cal of energy and so on and so forth.

The nucleic acid of a virus particle is enclosed in a protein coat. what is it called? see concept 19.1 (page 397) view availabl
prisoha [69]

The right option is Capsid

A capsid is a protein coat that encloses the nucleic acid (RNA, DNA etc.) of a virus particle. Capsids are in different shapes and the common ones are icosahedral, prolate, and helical. The main role of the capsid is to protect the virus by ensuring that the nucleic acid inside of it is safe.

The all-or-none phenomenon as applied to nerve conduction states that the whole nerve cell must be stimulated for conduction to
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Nerve impulse must reach a certain threshold in a neuron before action potential can be generated to intiate conduction of action potential.

Therefore if mutiple impulses are generated and these are not upto thresholds , no matter how strong the stimulI are-NO ACTION POTENTIAL WILL BE GENERATED.

THIS IS ALL OR NONE PRINCIPLE

The all or none hypotheses can be best explain with flushing of the water closet after using it. If required volume of water is not pumped into the water closet storage above, no matter how long the handle is push, FLUSHING WILL NOT TAKE PLACE.Thus the threshold volume of water must be met.
