Answer:
Assuming you mean in a compound of elements: A name is just what you call it, and the chemical formula is what elements it is made of.
Explanation:
Take sodium chloride (Salt) for example. It's name is sodium chloride, but its chemical formula is NaCl. Na= Sodium, and Cl = Chlorine. So one sodium ion and one Chlorine ion create NaCl. Na+Cl=NaCl. And the name for the product of the formula is Sodium Chloride.
Another example is H2O (Water). H=Hydrogen and O=Oxygen. There are 2 hydrogens and one oxygen in H2O. H+H+O=H2O. The name for the formula is water.
Answer: The bacteria transformed with this particular plasmid will form white colonies on the plates containing ampicillin and Xgal.
Explanation: The lacZ gene produces an enzyme called β-galactosidase which is responsible for the breakdown of lactose into glucose and galactose. The lacZ gene is one of the three genes (the other two being lacA and lacY) of the lac operon which is responsible for the transport and mechanism of lactose in E. coli and many other bacteria.
In recombinant DNA technology, when a plasmid is to be used to transform a host cell, such markers are used to help screen the transformed cells from the ones that have not taken up the plasmid. Xgal present in the plates is an artificial substrate which is hydrolyzed by
β-galactosidase into 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl which will dimerize and oxidise into 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'dichloro-indigo. This is a blue pigment which will give blue color to the bacterial cells. Introducing a DNA fragment in this lacZ gene will make it non-functional so it will not be able to produce the enzyme.
Therefore, when a bacterial cell is transformed with a plasmid containing ampicillin resistance gene and a DNA fragment introduced in the lacZ gene and then grown on plates containing ampicillin and Xgal, white colored colonies will appear. The white colonies will show the bacterial cells that have successfully taken up the plasmid with the DNA fragment incorporated in the lacZ gene as this will render the gene non-functional and will not produce β-galactosidase which will breakdown Xgal to give blue colonies. Since the plates contain ampicillin, only the bacterial cells that have been successfully transformed with the plasmid ( the ones that have the DNA fragment and the ones without it) will grow as the ampicillin resistance will give them resistance against ampicillin in the plates. The bacterial cells that have not taken up the plasmid will not be resistant to ampicillin and will not form colonies on the plate.
This is called blue-white screening which is used to identify successfully transformed host cells. A picture of this is given in the attachment, taken from the following website:

Can evolution create new species over time through natural selection?
is the question he would be prompted to ask based on his voyage.
<h3>Who was Charles Darwin ?</h3>
- English scientist Charles Darwin gained notoriety for his theory of natural selection, which postulated that organisms in an ecosystem adapt and evolve in order to maintain their survival.
- Because of this, Darwin was inspired to consider whether natural selection can eventually result in the emergence of new species after studying the selective breeding of pigeons.
- Darwin came to the following conclusion based on these straightforward observations:
- In a population, some individuals would have hereditary qualities that assist them survive and reproduce (given the conditions of the environment, such as the predators and food sources present).

Answer:
All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing.
