Answer: The function of the coded instructions contained in the body cells of an organism is called the Genes
Explanation:
Hi there!
<u>Electronegativity</u> is the concept of how likely an atom is to attract the shared molecules in one of these bonds to itself. We know the molecule water is made up of two hydrogens and one oxygen. The electronegativity of hydrogen is 2.2, and oxygen 3.4. An <u>ionic bond</u> needs at least a difference in electronegativity of 1.6. As the difference is less than that, we can say that water is a covalent molecule. This then wipes out choice B, because it is not ionic, and C, as we have seen it is actually covalent.
Now, we can see the difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen is still 1.2. This means that while it is not at the point for there to be an ionic bond, there is still a difference in attraction, where the electrons will tend to favor the oxygen more and 'hang around it' more. As electrons are <u>negatively charged</u><em><u>,</u></em> this means that the oxygen will gain a slightly negative charge. This then makes the molecule polar, because it now has a charge within the molecule. This means we have our answer, choice D.
In terms of hydrophobic molecules - they tend to be ones without a charge. (If you're interested in this kind of stuff, I'd search hydrophobic up, and possibly also look into hydrogen bonds).
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me any other questions you have about this specific problem.
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
According to the given information, the woman has normal BRCA alleles while the man carries one copy of the mutated BRCA allele (BRCA1). A diploid organism such as human beings can have two BRCA alleles. A child gets one BRCA allele from the mother and the other from the father.
The child of the couple would get one normal allele from the woman. However, with respect to the BRCA allele, the man would form two types of gametes in equal proportion. The 50% of his gametes would have the mutated BRCA1 allele while the rest 50% would carry the normal BRCA allele. Therefore, the man can transmit either normal or mutated BRCA allele to the child. So, there are 50% chances for the child to get the mutated allele.
Answer:
cloning, Finn-Dorset, DNA, nucleus
Explanation:
So basically what they're doing here is they're taking the cytoplasm of a cell of the Scottish Blackface sheep (maybe a lamb?, whatever)/removing the nucleus inside that cell and instead inserting the nucleus of the Finn-Dorset sheep. Then they insert that "integrated" cell (so to speak) into a surrogate ewe so that the blastocyst can evolve and develop into Dolly (the lamb/sheep).
The process is cloning. The resulting offspring would be genetically identical to the Finn-Dorset (sheep/lamb) b/c the nucleus is coming from that sheep & the nucleus has the genetic material (DNA). Hope ya found this helpful :)
P.S. Oh yeah, and thanks for the fifty points (hopefully)
