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.

<span>Alleles are usually represented by three different methods using two alphabets; when the two alphabets are small letters, it means that both alleles are recessive; when the two alphabets are capital letters, it means that both alleles are dominant and when one of the letter is capitalized and the other a lower case, it means that one of the allele is dominant while the other is recessive. Genotype CC means that the two alleles for curly hair are dominant.</span><span />
Answer:
Places and location.
Explanation:
In gymnosperms, the pollen and the megaspores are produced in separate places. Megaspores made in cones that develop into the female gametophytes that is present inside the ovules of gymnosperms, while pollen grains develop from cones that produce microspores. while on the other hand, In angiosperms, the pollen and the megaspores are produced in separate structures, but within the same place i.e. flower which has both male and female reproductive organs.
Answer:
Commensalism
Explanation:
Commensalism is when one organism is helped while the other is neutral (neither hurt nor helped). Example: clownfish and anemone.
