There are 56 neutrons. To find them, you just have to subtract the atomic number with the atomic mass. If you dont know, the atomic number is the number of protons (and electrons) in an atom. The atomic mass is the number of both the protons and neutrons. Of you subtract the atomic number, you get protons.

Speed and velocity are similar, but which thing makes them different?
Sedbober [7]

The velocity of the object is similar to speed but has one main difference: velocity takes into account the direction of an object. Since speed does not take direction into consideration, it is considered to be a scalar quantity. Thus, the speed of an object can never be negative.

Under which conditions are the lac structural genes expressed most efficiently?
madam [21]

Lac genes are most effectively expressed in presence of Lactose and its analogs when glucose is absent.

Explanation:

A unit of prokaryotic gene expression and regulation,which includes structural genes and regulatory sequences recognized by regulatory gene product is called operon.

<em>Lac </em>structural genes are a part of<em> Lac</em> operon. The <em>Lac </em>operon consists of three, structural genes,an operator and a promoter.The product of Lac operon is involved in the conversion of disaccharide lactose into glucose and Galactose.

Lactose and its analogs are inducers of<em> Lac </em>operon. So, the structural genes are best expressed in presence of Lactose. Glucose and galactose are repressors of lac gene so the genes are repressed in presence of glucose.
