The main component are electrons.

A chemical bond is any attractive interaction that keeps atoms short. This interaction can be directional as the bond between two atoms within a molecule, or non-directional as the electrostatic interaction that keeps the ions of an ion crystal in contact. It can be strong like the two previous examples, or weak as van der Waals interactions that are dipolar in nature.

Many models exist to describe these interactions. For example, the chemical bond between two atoms within a molecule can be described with the Lewis model or with a quantum model, like the theory of molecular orbitals. In both cases, the origin of the interaction is a sharing of electrons between the two partner atoms of the chemical bond.

There are three types of chemical bonds: single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds. Indeed, the type of chemical bond depends on the number of electrons shared between the bound atoms:

* Simple bonds have 2 shared electrons.

* Double bonds have 4 shared electrons.

* Triple bonds have 6 shared electrons.

This number of electrons shared between the atoms depends on the electronic structure of these atoms and thus on the rules of the byte and the duet.

What are they five steps of cloning?
Luda [366]

Hi

Below are five major steps of DNA or gene cloning:

1: You chose the gene or specific piece of DNA you need to clone and cut the gene with restriction enzymes from the source organism.

2: You need to choose a vector for the process of cloning and you will cut the vector with same restriction enzymes through which you have cut your target DNA sequence to be inserted into the vector.

3: You place the target gene into the vector and join or seal the gene with vector by using an enzyme called DNA ligase.

4: You introduce the vector with your target gene into a suitable host organism such as yeast or bacteria through the process of Transformation. In this process host organism takes up the vector containing your target gene and starts replicating the target DNA along with their own DNA and thus creating millions of copies of target gene .

5: In the last step, the DNA or target gene is isolated from host organism and purified and is ready to be used since its quantity has been enormously increased through the process of cloning.

The cloning is also called as recombinant DNA technology and is the main process that is being used in the production of insulin for diabetes patients. You can see below image for better understanding.

Hope it help!

Can A Baby Otter Have Diabetes?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Neonatal diabetes is often mistaken as type 1 diabetes, which is much more common. But type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children older than 6 months. Half of babies diagnosed with neonatal diabetes have a lifelong condition. This is called permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. It occurs in 1 in 260,000 babies in some areas of the world.
