Covalent or ionic: transfer of electrons covalent or ionic: sharing of electrons

Biology

belka [17]3 years ago

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.

"The ability of an organism to react to an environmental input with a change in form, state, movement, or rate of activity" is a definition of Phenotypic Plasticity.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tendency of one genotype when opened to different conditions, to create more than single phenotype is called as "Phenotypic plasticity".It's the secret to studying human behaviour.

It's the key to human conduct study by laying the foundation to take into consideration the concept that the similar genome and the similar neural architecture will lead to human cultural diversity. For plants whose sessile existence needs them to survive with environmental conditions, this capacity is especially important.

During DNA replication, which nucleotide will bind to an A nucleotide in the original or parental DNA strand?
Volgvan

Answer: nucleotide A will bind to nucleotide T during DNA replication.

Explanation:

In DNA replication, Adenine(A) pairs up with its complementary base Thymine(T). The DNA polymerase which is an enzyme ensures that the nucleotide with base T binds to the base A of parental nucleotide.
