Why does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have a negative charge

Biology
2 answers:
rodikova [14]3 years ago
8 0

In water molecule the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen are shared, but the sharing is not equal. Oxygen pulls electrons slightly towards itself. Therefore, the electrons are more near the oxygen, making that part of molecule(oxygen part) slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen so, that part of the molecule is slightly positive.

In the covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen, the oxygen atom attracts electrons a bit more strongly than the hydrogen atoms. The unequal sharing of electrons gives the water molecule a slight negative charge near its oxygen atom and a slight positive charge near its hydrogen atoms.

What was a conclusion that Mendel drew from the F2 generation of this cross?
Ber [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

That parental traits that were not observed in the F1 reappeared in the F2.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1.
  • <em>I</em><u><em>t was important that Mendel examined not just the F1 generation in his breeding experiments, but the F2 generation as well, because parental traits that were not observed in the F1 reappeared in the F2.</em></u>

Relaxin

<span>Relaxin, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary as well as the placenta, is responsible for helping to inhibit uterine activity and to soften the cervix and the collagen in joints. Softening of the cervix allows for dilatation at birth; softening of collagen allows for laxness in the lower spine and so helps enlarge the birth canal. The effect of estrogen is to cause breast and uterine enlargement. Progesterone has a major role in maintaining the endometrium, inhibiting uterine contractility, and aiding in the development of the breasts for lactation. Human placental lactogen (hPL), also known as human chorionic somatomammotropin, serves as an antagonist to insulin, making insulin less effective, thereby allowing more glucose to become available for fetal growth.</span>

How many nucleotide bases differ between your sample (labeled as O. Kisutch) and the standard sequence for O. Kisutch? Sample la
OverLord2011 [107]

The right answer is 3 nucleotide bases.

5'-CGGCACCGCCCTAAGTCTCT-3'

5'-AGGCACCGCCCTAAGTCTAC-3'

It would be necessary first to align the two sequences side by side so as to be able to compare them, and they should also be in the same direction.

The nucleotides marked in bold are the nucleotides that differ between standard and O. Kisutch.

These nucleotide changes are necessarily due to substitution mutations that exchanged one nucleotide for another in the same location.

Kruka [31]

The number of times per week that exercise is performed is known as frequency.

Exercise frequency answers the question how many times you workout per week total. This includes weight training workouts, cardio workouts.This is value that can vary depends on many factors specific to individual (age, weight, condition). Because of this, it’s impossible to say exactly how often(how many times) everyone should be working out per week total.
