Answer:

5 neutrons

Explanation:

Both protons and neutrons have a mass of about 1 atomic mass unit (amu). The number in the notation for an isotope is its mass in amu. That means the number is essentially the sum of protons and neutrons in the isotope (electrons don't contribute significantly to the mass).

If lithium has 3 protons, lithium-8 has 8 - 3 = 5 neutrons.

Answer:

537 N

Explanation:

The force due to gravity of a planet is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the object

and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:

716 N = GMm / r²

On planet X:

F = G (3M) m / (2r)²

F = 3/4 GMm / r²

F = 3/4 (716 N)

F = 537 N

What are the genotypes of gametes of a aabb self-pollination??

Rus_ich [418]

All of the possibilities would be aabb. There are no dominant traits to come through from the self pollinating plant so therefore, the offspring would would have the same genotypes.

I apologize for the messy graph in advance. If you have any further questions please let me know
