Neon is a member of the noble gas family. Other elements in this family includes <span>helium, argon, krypton, xenon, </span>and <span>radon. </span>These gases are in Group 18 (VIIIA) of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. The noble gases are sometimes called the inert gases. This name comes from the fact that these elements do not react very readily. In fact, compounds exist for only three noble gases—krypton, radon, and xenon. Chemists have yet to prepare compounds of helium, neon, or argon.

Neon was discovered in 1898 by British chemists William Ramsay (1852-1916) and Morris Travers (1872-1961). It occurs naturally in the atmosphere, but only in very small amounts.

How are the number of chromosomes maintained during asexual reproduction?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<em>The number of chromosomes is maintained through the process of mitosis during asexual reproduction. </em>

Mitosis can be described as a process in which a cell divides and produces two daughter cells which are exactly similar to the parent cell. The chromosome number of the daughter cells will be the same as the parent cells. No crossing over or recombination occurs during this type of cell division. Hence, mitosis is an effective way to maintain the chromosome number of organisms which reproduce asexually.

A point mutation changes one nucleotide at a random location in human DNA. How likely is the mutation to cause a change In the a
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: Very unlikely

Explanation:

Generally, point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation, so

before any changes occur in the amino acid sequence, it would have been corrected.

However, when point mutation occurs within the protein coding region of a gene it may results in the change of a single nucleotide to cause the substitution of a different amino acid (which renders the protein non-functional) as in the case of sickle-cell disease.

And this kind of point mutation is specifically called Missense mutation.

Above all, because point mutation is easily reversible, it is very unlikely to change the amino acid sequence of a protein

According to Neptune second law of motion of an object will accelerate if which kind of force is applied
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Unbalanced force

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, any unbalanced force that is applied on a body will cause it to have some acceleration.

However, If the force is balanced like the net effect of one force is cancelled by the other, it will result in total force as zero, that will cause zero acceleration in the body.

Newton's second law of motion states:

                                                   F=ma

where m is mass and a is acceleration, so it means that is any of these factors is zero , the force will be zero, and hence force is zero only when it is cancelled by some force acting in opposite direction.

For example: When person is dragging the table with a force of 30 N on left side, while the other person is dragging the same table with same force on right side. The table will have zero acceleration.

Hope it help!
