Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Let's break down each word in the question:

"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.

"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.

"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.

"Offspring" means the children that are born.

"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.

For the substituted cyclohexane compound given below, highlight the groups – by clicking on atoms – that will sterically interac

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

In given structure of substituted cyclohexane select the "Bromine" atom as the answer.

Explanation:

1,3-Diaxial Interactions:

As cleared from name, this type of interactions are found in cyclic alkanes in which one group present at position 1 (assumed number) experiences steric hindrance due to another group present at position 3.

Also, it is necessary that both the groups must be occupying either axial or equatorial positions respectively. For example, in given structure the methyl group at position 1 is at axial position and another bulky group which should interact with this methyl group must occupy axial position at carbon 3 next to carbon 1. Hence, as shown in figure, the Bromine atom is present at third carbon and is at axial position too.

In attached picture, the green lines indicate steric interactions between Methyl group and Bromine atoms which are involved in steric interactions in 1,3-diaxial fashion.
