The correct option is THE ELECTRON IN THE OUTERMOST ELECTRON SHELL.
Different levels of energy exist in the atom of an element and these levels are filled with electrons. The electrons in the innermost shell has the lowest energy level while the electrons in the outermost shell has the highest energy level. For an electron to increase its energy level, it has to move to an higher shell; and to decrease its energy level it has to move to a lower shell.
Answer:
Phenotypic ratio= 1 Brown : 1 Gray
Explanation:
Genotype of brown snake= BB
genotype of gray snake= Bb
A cross between brown (BB) and gray (Bb) snake obtains progeny in following phenotypic ratio= 1 Brown : 1 Gray
Here, the heterozygous parent, gray snake (Bb) forms two types of gametes in 1:1 ratio while the homozygous dominant parent, brown snake (BB) forms only one type of gamete.
Answer:
Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have brown eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes. No new settlers arrive,and nobody leaves the island.After a few generations,the percentage of blue-eyed individuals increases from the original zero to 25 percent.This is probably due to which of the following factors?
genetic drift
Explanation:
Genetic drift entails when there are changes in the gene frequency which occur in a gene that is existing. From the analogy above, it is a known fact that only gneetic drift could allow such to happen as mutation will only occur with a sudden change of gene which is not the case described above
Answer: The Parathyroid gland
Explanation:
The Parathyroid gland secretes "Parathormone", an hormone that exerts
- direct influence on the bone by INCREASING the release of bone calcium ion (Ca2+) into the blood
- affects the kidney by stimulating the renal tubules to eliminate EXCESS calcium in the urine.
Thus, the calcium balance of the body depends on the secretion of the Parathyroid gland
