Ans.

In humans and other higher organisms, two types of cell division, known as mitosis and meiosis takes place. Somatic cells or normal body cells of humans get divided by mitosis, while gametes are produced through meiosis.

During mitosis, a mother cell gets divided into two daughter cells and each daughter cell consists same number of chromosomes as in mother cell. In humans, 46 chromosomes are present in each cell. Thus, the skin cells, produced by mitotic division will have 46 chromosomes in their nuclei.

Answer:

The nuclei of the skin cells produced by mitosis will have identical genetic material as that of the parent cell.

It is because mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, each having equal and identical chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

In addition, events like crossing over do not take place due to which no genetic variation is developed in the daughter cells.

The process of mitosis is mainly involved in the repair and growth of the body.

What happens to a potassium atoms electrons when it becomes an ion?

Scrat [10]

The alkali metals in group l of the periodic table all have a single electron in the outermost shell. These metals form covalent bonds with for example the halogens, which have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
When the alkali metal halide, such as KCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions. The K atom loses the single electron, and therefore has a positive charge. In turn, the chloride atom gains the electron and becomes the negatively charged chloride ion.
