Because alcohol protons are reasonably acidic and easily undergo exchange, it is important that the base be matched to the appro

priate solvent. Explain why it would be virtually impossible to sort out the factors the size of the base or the stability of the alkenes formed if a reaction were carried out using methanol as the solvent and potassium t-butoxide as the base. In your answer draw a mechanism using methanol and tert-butoxide to illustrate your answer.
I don't understand how to do the mechanism at all. but wouldn't the reasoning have to do with methanol being able to produce methoxide

Potassium tert-butoxide is used to make alkenes by an elimination reaction that does not follow Zaitsev's rule. The compound dissociates into its ionic form, potassium ion and t-butoxide ion. The t-butoxide ion reacts with a haloalkane. Methanol is fairly acidic and it will also dissociate into hydronium and methoxide ions. The methoxide ion will react with the haloalkene and produce a Zaitsev alkene making it difficult to perform the analysis.

Scientists often want to know if the genetically transformed organism can pass its new traits on to its offspring and future gen
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Quickly

Explanation:

The more quickly that a new generation of organisms develops and reproduces the faster that you will be able to observe whether the new traits  have been passed on to the new generation or not, and so on if you want to see this effect over several generations. For example, if you have genetically modified corn, you just have to wait one year to see if next year's generation of corn will have the modified trait or not. Conversely, if you geneticall modify an apple, you have to wait several years until the new generation of apples mature and are able to flower and produce the next generation of apple embryos.

A fruit fly egg has 5 chromosomes, how many are in a skin cells?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Skin cell has 10 chromosomes.

Sperm cell has 5 chromosomes.

egg cells has 5 chromosomes.

Explanation:

If the fruit fly egg has 5 chromosomes, then the skin has 10 chromosomes because skin has diploid i. e. double number of chromosome. There is always haploid or half number of chromosome present in the sex cells such as sperm and egg cells of any organism. When the sperm and egg cells fuse together they formed the organism which is a diploid i. e. double number of chromosome.
