Fast breeder reactors are seldom used anymore because of safety concerns, as they have a higher potential for explosions. But th

is explosion hazard does not come from the nuclear fission reaction. What does it come from? Explain your answer in just one or two sentences.

<span>Nuclear reactors generate energy through fission, the process by which an atomic nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei. During fission, a small amount of mass is converted into energy, which can be used to power a generator to create electricity. In order to harness this energy, a controlled chain reaction is required for fission to take place. When a uranium nucleus in a reactor splits, it produces two or more neutrons that can then be absorbed by other nuclei, causing them to undergo fission as well. More neutrons are released in turn and continuous fission is achieved.</span>

Considering that a hydrophilic stain was used to stain the skin, explain why the fat vacuoles in adipocytes are white (Hint: Rem
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The hydrophilic nature of the stain explains that these molecules are polar and charge molecules. therefore, attracts the water molecule but due to their polar nature, it will avoid lipid or fat molecules.

Adipocytes are the cells that are made up of fat or lipids that are hydrophobic due to their non-polar nature and due to this fact, these hydrophilic stains will not be able to stain adipocytes and will not be colored by the stain.

What is the role of DNA in determining an organisms traits
pogonyaev
DNA carries the "codes" that communicate what traits will be formed. The nucleotides in DNA are read and transcribed into mRNA which travels ot of the cells nucleus and then goes to a ribosome. In the ribosome, tRNA matches to mRNA with its anticodon. Each of the tRNA molecules are carrying an amino acid which are all connected by the ribosome to create an amino acid chain, which is a protein, which are traits in an organisms.

In flies, red eye color (Xa) is a sex-linked recessive trait. Black eyes (XA) are the normal colored eyes for flies. What are th
Anika [276]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a. a red-eye male as their next offspring? = 25%

b. a black eye female as their next offspring? = 25%

Explanation:

The given question says that in flies the red eye color is a sex-linked recessive trait which means it will only appear in the presence of two copies of the recessive allele in females and one copy of recessive allele in male as there is only one copy of X chromosome is present in males the other chromosome is Y.

So, the genotype of carrier mom would be XaXA and normal black eye male would be XAY, then cross between these flies:

        XA          Y

Xa     XaXA    XaY

XA   XAXA     XAY

On the basis of red eye male would be XaY = 1/4 = 25%

and the black eye female would be XAXA  = 1/4 = 25%
