Answer:
A. Metalloid
E. Has similar properties as Ge
F. Belongs to Period 3
Explanation:
Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.
It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.
Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.
Enzymes are needed for metabolic pathways in the body, respiration, digestion and other important life processes. When enzymes function properly, homeostasis is maintained. However, if an enzyme is lacking or has an incorrect shape due to genetic mutation, this can lead to disease within an organism.
An organism that has two different alleles for a trait is called heterogeneous
