Can someone describe major subatomic particles that make up an atom

Biology

irinina [24]2 years ago

The main 3 subatomic particles that makes up an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Protons and neutrons exists inside the nucleus of the atom, while electrons moves freely outside the nucleus.

Protons are positive in charge, each element has their own specific number of protons, it's just like their ID number for the element, they cannot be changed.

Neutrons are neutral, just like as it name says. Usually they have the same number as the protons in most elements, but not all cases. Sometimes an element may even have a few different forms, called Isotopes specifically, where they have different number of protons for each isotope.

And electrons, are negative in charge. They're a lot more lighter comparing to neutrons and protons, therefore sometimes we neglect their mass in calculating maths. In an atom, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons, or else, the atom would no longer be an atom, but an ion instead.

The population in South Africa is more prone to sickle cell anemia (genotype "ss"). People with genotype "ss" survive only up to
lions [1.4K]
The answer is stabilizing selection.

<span>Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by the presence of two recessive alleles "s", so genotype is "ss". This disorder is characterized by sickle hemoglobin. In an area with malaria, heterozygous individuals "Ss" (with one dominant allele and one recessive allele) have an advantage. These individuals will have both normal and sickle hemoglobin. But pathogen that causes malaria affect only normal hemoglobin, so heterozygous individuals will have half of the hemoglobin resistant to the pathogen and those individuals are resistant to malaria.</span>

Stabilizing selection favors heterozygotes Ss,  disruptive selection favors dominant (SS) and recessive (ss) homozygotes, while directional selection favors dominant (SS) or recessive (ss) homozygote. Since in this example, people with genotype Ss (heterozygotes) are in advantage, then this is an example of stabilizing selection.
