Answer: A
Evolution is the idea that species change over time, and natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution takes place.
Answer:
1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).
2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.
3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.

The greeks believed the Earth was stationary at the center of the universe while objects in the sky revolved around it. The Greek astronomers employed the term Asteres planetai meaning “wondering stars” for star like objects. By the 19th century the word planet thought it hadn’t been defined was the working term applied
<span>A scientist wants to create a florescent ornamental fish. He needs fluorescence similar to that of a firefly. Which of the send processes would help him create this fish?
The correct answer is </span><span>transformation of the DNA of a fish using a fluoroscent gene from a firefly. In order to do so, he would have to use the gene of the firefly as a reference in order to transform the DNA of a fish.</span>
