Answer:

D- 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

Explanation:

A neutral atom is one in which the number of negative charges balances the number of positive charges.

<em>Positive charge component of atom is the proton</em>

<em>Negative charge component of an atom is the electron.</em>

Hence, for a neutral atom, number of proton = number of electron

Also, number of proton in an element = atomic number of the element

<em>Oxygen has atomic number of 8. Hence the number of proton is also equal to 8. In addition, since proton number = electron number for a neutral atom, the number of electron is also equal to 8.</em>

The correct answer is D.

Although it can progress unnoticed for many years, hypertension wreaks havoc on the human body, so adults should have their bloo
ioda

Hypertension or simply termed as high blood pressure is a condition In the cardiac system where the blood pressure and transfer from one part of the body to another exceeds the normal levels of the body. The heart is strongly pumping blood throughout the body which is caused by either lipid deposits in the vessels or in the heart itself.

Hence hypertension contributes to the conditions that already exists such as stress, or existing disorders and worsen it.

How does the anaphase stage differ in the two phases of meiosis? Anaphase I separates sister chromatids and anaphase II separate
max2010maxim [7]

The answer is <span>Anaphase I separates homologous chromosomes and anaphase II separates sister chromatids into daughter cells.</span>


Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces two haploid cells. Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so in total, meiosis results in four haploid cells. So, in meiosis, there are two anaphases - the anaphase I in meiosis I and the anaphase II in meiosis II.

<span>In anaphase I, the sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells. In meiosis I there are 46 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as pairs of sister chromatids. In anaphase of meiosis II, since the cell is haploid, there are 23 chromosomes in duplicate, which are present as sister chromatids.</span>
