If you have an incorrect number of chromosomes, then most likely the embryo will miscarriage. If, by some miracle, the embryo survives, then the embryo will have Down's Syndrome.

The numbers listed represent the number of electrons in the first, second, and third energy levels, respectively. On this basis,
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is because one of its orbital shells is not filled – the one with 1 electron. This atom will, therefore, want to lose this electron – it takes less energy to do this than gain 7 electrons -- to achieve stable electron configuration. This makes this atom very reactive in a chemical reaction.  Usually orbital shells of atoms begin with an S orbital shell that is filled with 2 electrons then P (x,y,z) orbital shells filled with 6 electrons total. There are also higher energy f and d orbitals that each take a maximum 10 and 14 electrons respectively. An atom is stable if its orbitals are fully filled.

A scientist measures the circumference of acorns in a population of oak trees and discovers that the most common circumference i
Vinil7 [7]

Disruptive selection or diversifying selection describes the changes in population genetics where extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.

So according to this definition, the conclusion can be derived as :

The most common circumference(s) to be after 10 generations of diversifying selection will be greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm.

which example of a missense mutation in a protein-encoding gene would most likely be a neutral mutation?
KATRIN_1 [288]

An example of a missense mutation in a protein-encoding gene would most likely be a neutral mutation is option B: replacement of a polar amino acid with another polar amino acid at the protein's surface.

A frequent and well-known example of a missense mutation is the blood condition sickle-cell anemia. Missense mutations exist in the DNA at a single location in sickle-cell anemia patients. A different amino acid is required in this missense mutation, which also alters the overall structure of the protein. Similarly, replacement of a polar amino acid by another polar Ami no acid at the protein's surface is a missense mutation causing change in a single site.

A neutral mutation is one whose fixation is unrelated to natural selection. Therefore, the independence of a mutation's fixation from natural selection can be used to define the selective neutrality of a mutation.

Complete question is:

Which example of a missense mutation in a protein-encoding gene would most likely be a neutral mutation?

a) Replacement of a polar amino acid with a nonpolar amino acid at the protein's outer surface

b) Replacement of a polar amino acid with another polar amino acid at the protein's surface

c) Replacement of a polar amino acid with another polar amino acid in the protein's interior

d) Replacement of a polar amino acid with a nonpolar amino acid in the protein's interior

What are the use of Land?​
frutty [35]

Land use involves the management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as settlements and semi-natural habitats such as arable fields, pastures, and managed woods. Land use by humans has a long history, first emerging more than 10 thousand years ago. It has been defined as "the purposes and activities through which people interact with land and terrestrial ecosystems and as "the total of arrangements, activities, and inputs that people undertake in a certain land type. Land use is one of the most important drivers of global environmental change.

Would the cell theory change if new information was discovered about cells today? Why or why not?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Some parts of the cell theory would change because maybe the original one said something completely  different. so some parts of the cell theory would change like: all cells comes from preexisting cells.And It would changed to something like: All cells form all by them selves.
