Which of the following statements about magnesium atoms is NOT correct? 1. All magnesium atoms have the same number of protons.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

5. All magnesium atoms have the same number of neutrons

Explanation:

Magnesium (Mg) is a chemical element. Its atomic number (Z) is 12 (number of protons in the nucleus of the Mg atom).

The Magnesium has three stable isotopes: 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg. All these isoforms have 12 protons in their atoms (same atomic number), however they  vary in the mass number of the atom (M).

The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Based on this information we can know how many neutrons each isotope has

24 Mg = 12 protones + 12 neutrons

25Mg = 12 protones + 13 neutrons

26Mg = 12 protones + 14 neutrons

In this way we conclude that <u>not all magnesium atoms have the same number of neutrons</u>

What is semi-conservative DNA replication and how does it differ from conservative replication? Which type of DNA replication is
fredd [130]

Answer:

Semi-conservative DNA replication:

The semi-conservative model of DNA replication explains that the newly synthesized daughter DNA molecule contains one newly synthesized strand and one parental strand. This model of replication is important and explains the biological significance of replication. The DNA unwinds in this mode of replication.

Conservative model of DNA replication:

The conservative model of DNA replication explains that the newly synthesized daughter DNA molecules has the one DNA helix of parent and the other DNA helix are entirely new. This model does not has a biological significance. The DNA is not unwinds in this mode of replication.

The semi-conservative mode of DNA replication is found in the living organism.
