Transcription in scientific genetics is used to describe the copying of the genetic sequence of DNA on messenger-RNA during expression of genes. On the other hand, translation is used to describe the use of the MRA to convert the gene sequence to amino acid sequences with the help of ribosomes.
Answer:
B. 18
Explanation:
An atom, which is the smallest indivisible particle of matter, further contains certain particles called SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES namely: proton, neutron and electron. In a neutral/uncharged atom, the number of proton is equal to the number of electrons. The number of protons in an atom represent its ATOMIC NUMBER.
However, the sum of the proton number and neutron number gives the MASS NUMBER i.e. mass no. = proton no. + electron no.
Hence, according to this question which states that an atom has an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 35. The neutron no. can be calculated as follows:
Neutron no. = mass no. - proton no.
Neutron no. = 35 - 17
Neutron no. = 18
