Why are only inherited traits, not acquired ones, involved in the process of natural selection?

Chemistry

Mashutka [201]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

Inherited traits are traits that you received from your parents at birth.

Acquired traits are traits acquired during your lifetime, like knowing how to ride a bicycle. You cannot pass them down to the next generation.

Only your inherited traits will enable you to survive predators, find enough food to live, etc. If you must learn a skill to survive, you probably won't live long enough to pass your genetic information to your offspring.

Atomic number and the number of protons are the same...
Neutrons = Mass number - number of protons
Electrons are same # unless there is a charge 
The whole number you see on the periodic table is the atomic number of the element which is also same as the number of protons

1) carbon - 14  ;  Mass number = 14 , Protons = 6 , Neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8 
                                Electrons = 6 

2) Lead - 208  ; Mass # = 208 , Protons = 82 , Neutrons = 208 - 82 = 126
                          Electrons = 82

3) Uranium - 239 ; Mass # = 239  , Protons  =  92,Neutrons = 239 - 92 = 147
                                 Electrons =  92

4) Uranium - 238  ; Mass # = 238 , Protons = 92 , Neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146
                                   
Electrons = 92 

5) Tin - 118  ; Mass # = 118 , Protons = 50 , Neutrons = 118 - 50 = 68
                         Electrons = 50

What does a chemist do​
Mama L [17]
A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.
