Answer:

Hey

Explanation:

Covalent bonds and ionic bonds are two different ways of how elements bond to each other. The main difference between covalent and ionic bonds is that ionic bonds occur between two species which are electrostatically attracted towards each other, whereas covalent bonds occur covalently through the sharing of electrons between their outer shells.

hope this helps

Answer:

<h2>Ionic bond</h2>

Meaning :- When there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between a cation and an anion (two oppositely charged ions) of elements is called the ionic bond. This bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Involves :-Transfer and accepting of electrons from the valence shell.

Existence :- They also exist in the solid state only.

Examples :- NaCl, BeO, LiF, etc

<h2>Covalent bond</h2>

Meaning :- When there is a strong electrostatic force of attractions between two positively charged nuclei and the shared pair of electrons is called the covalent bond.

Involves :- Sharing of electrons in the valence shell.

Existence:- Exist as solids, liquids and gases.

Examples :- Diamond, carbon, silica, hydrogen gas, water, nitrogen gas, etc.

Dear public, our ecosystem is being ruined and we need to stop it, i think you should do something about the littering and loitering in our community and in the U.S. it would help a lot of people if you made a law against it or if we went out and all did community service and helped pick up. if you don't like these ideas we could protest, but all me and my fellow people ask is that you help our ecosystem for better lives for everyone! yours truly, citizen

Which statement accurately describes how identification of individuals through the use of genetic engineering is possible?

Andre45 [30]

The identification of an individual by the means of genetic engineering is possible because the Y chromosomes in the males does not experience any crossing-over as there is only a single Y chromosome present in a human male.

The mitochondrial DNA is passed from the mother to child in the cytoplasm of the cell, and it is passed on without any changes. The X chromosome is can be passed from a mother to her son as he will receive Y chromosome from his father.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B - The Y chromosome does not experience crossing over'.
