<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em>18 hydrogen atoms </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
  • <em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.

In alkane, number of hydrogen atom = 2n + 2
Where, n = number of carbon atoms

So, it would be: 2(8)+2 = 16+2 = 18

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

Doss [256]

The correct answers are:

b. Human influenza a virus evolves escape variants, resulting in a distinctive cactus-shaped phylogeny.  

All types of Human influenza viruses evolve to escape immunity induced by prior infections and vaccinations.

c. Measles experiences strong selection for escape variants, resulting in a phylogeny similar to a nonpathogenic species.  

As a result of measles infection, specific antibody and CD4 and CD8 T cell responses are generated and contribute to virus clearance and protection from reinfection.
