Consider an atom that has 9 electrons. How many electrons would be found in this atom's valence shell?​ ​

Biology
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 7 electrons

Explanation: In the first orbital shell it can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

The second orbital or energy level it can hold a minimum of 1 and maximum of 8 electrons.

Since the first shell has 2 electrons it means that the second shell has 7 electrons.

explain how complete dominance, co dominance, incomplete dominance, and sex linked traits are inherited and expressed differentl
dlinn [17]
<span> COMPLETE DOMINANCE:
</span>
<span>Mendel concluded that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive. When one dominant allele is present, it's enough to make the recessive allele unexpressed (this is what happens in heterozygous individuals). In other words, it 'hides' or masks the recessive allele.

CO-DOMINANCE:

-a condition in which both alleles are dominant.
</span>
There are alleles that have the capacity of dominating at the same time, and when an organism is heterozygotic, both alleles are expressed.
For example, a white chicken(WW) crossed with a black chicken (BB):  100% of the offspring being WB. With this genotype, they have black feathers and white feathers.
It's not a blend of colors, but a case where both are expressing.

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE:
-a condition with none of the alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype.

Some alleles are not completely dominant, and when that's the case the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will be a mix between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.

For example:
plant 1: RR -red
plant 2: rr- white

By crossing this plants we will obtain 100%  of the offspring with a color mix: pink.(genotype: Rr)
Red and white are not completely dominating so it results in a blend of colors.

SEX LINKED TRAITS

Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine the sex of a person. Two X chromosomes result in a female and one X plus a Y result in a male.

In those chromosomes, there are genes specific for each gender, and in those chromosomes, there are genes that code for certain traits- the sex-linked traits.
These traits will be inherited according to the sex chromosomes they receive from their parents.

What are other factors that may lead to clumped distribution patterns in populations?
motikmotik

Answer:

An area with an uneven distribution of food, water, moisture, temperature, or other resources can cause clumped dispersion. This pattern can also be caused by the formation of social groups based on protection or hunting. In plants, clumped dispersion is common when offspring fail to disperse from parent plants.

<h2>Succession </h2>

Explanation:

Succession is a phenomenon in which older communities are replaced by advanced and newer communities

  • Primary succession is the one in which succession occurs at newer area where none of the community previously evolved
  • Secondary succession is the one in which the substrate has already been prepared by the older communities so that the newer community which will arrive grow faster that is why secondary succession has faster pace
  • Glacial retreats leave behind nothing but bare rock as they retreat from an area, leaving barren land from which primary succession can occur which enables scientist to study plant succession
