When two atoms react, they form either of two kinds of bond, ionic bonds or covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds are the type of bonds where there is transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The electrons are removed and from one atom and attached to another. A good example is salt which is composed of sodium and chlorine. Sodium readily loses one of its electrons and chlorine readily accepts it. Before losing the electron, sodium has a positive charge, but then becomes negatively charged after giving up the electron. Chlorine has a positive charge before gaining the electron but becomes negatively charged after gaining the electron. These opposite charges between sodium and chlorine attract the two elements together to form the ionic bond.
Covalent bonds are the kind of bonds formed when two atoms share electrons. Here there is sharing, none of the atoms loses an electron and none gains. A good example is water which is formed when oxygen shares two electrons, each with an atom of hydrogen.
The Oxygen atom forms two covalent bonds with the pair of hydrogen atoms.
Answer:
Enzymes proofread the DNA after the DNA has been replicated and replace any mismatched nucleotides.
Explanation:
DNA replication occurs to make exact copy of original DNA. Transcription of genetic information to an intermediate mRNA occur after replication after which we have translation of genetic information into amino acids.
In the process of replicating DNA error can occur and then enzymes proofread the work for errors. Enymes DNA polymerase proofs read the replication,removes and replace the nucleotide base from where error occurs. It proof read after the DNA replication has occured.
This enzyme is also involve in DNA replication.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
Approximately all characteristics are inheritable but some characteristic of our body is affected by the external environment.
<h3>Growth:</h3>
Growth is the basic property of a living organism. It can be controlled by the genes like height. But mainly it is dependent on the available nutrients to the body. So a healthy environment with all necessary nutrients leads to healthy perfect growth of the body.
<h3>RB C count:</h3>
Red blood cells counts also effected by environment. The environment which has a sufficient amount of oxygen leads to low blood count as compared to an environment with low oxygen which leads to high red blood cell count.
<h3>Immunity:</h3>
Immunity is the property of living organism to fight against the harmful agents that invade the body.
People most exposed to germs are more immune than people who often face the germs.
