Answer:

Type of radioactive decay which has occurred is an alpha decay.

Explanation:

Type of radioactive decays:

  • Alpha decay is defined as the decay process in which alpha particle is released. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units and a mass of 4 units.
  • Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron. The released beta particle is also known as electron.
  • Gamma decay In this process, an unstable nuclei releases excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and gamma -radiations are emitted. These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

if the lacI gene, in the genetically engineered fluorescent strain were non-mutant but the lacO sequence on the chromosome  is mutated to lacOc then,

in the presence of the inducer, the cells fluorescence will show

yellow; red

in the absence of inducer, the cells fluorescence will show,

yellow; no fluorescence.

Explanation:

when lacO is mutated with lacOc then constitutive mutation happens which lets the system to be on.
