Answer:

B. 26amu

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom in an element contains protons, electrons and neutrons. The proton number equals the electron number in a neutral atom. The proton number is also called the atomic number, denoted by Z.

The mass number also called Atomic mass unit (amu) in this case, of an element is the sum of the proton number and the neutron number in the atom of that element. The mass number is denoted by A.

Hence, A = Z + N

Where A = Mass number

Z = Proton (atomic number)

N = Neutron number

In this question, N is 11 while Z is 15

Hence, the mass number of the element in the question, in AMU, is 15 + 11 = 26amu.

Not all inspired air reaches the alveoli; 150 ml is stopped in the airway leading to the alveoli. this is called?
Igoryamba

Not all inspired air reaches the alveoli; 150 ml is stopped in the airway leading to the alveoli. This is called dead air space.

Alveoli are the tiny air sacs present all over the lungs. These are supposed to increase the surface area of the lungs so as to increase the amount of inhaled air. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place through these alveoli.

Dead air space is the unventilated area where air circulation does not take place. This air is supposed to be get trapped somewhere in the respiratory pathway or it reaches an alveoli that is poorly perfused. The dead air space can be of two types: anatomical dead space and physiologic dead space.

Are the offspring of parents who are both homozygous dominant for normal red blood cells in danger of getting sickle-cell anemia
Ksju [112]

Answer:

If both parents do not have sickle-cell anemia, than the possibility is low.

Explanation:

If both parents have the sickle-cell trait, their offspring has a 25 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent risk of them having sickle cell trait. Meanwhile, there is also a 25 percent chance of the child not getting it at all.

If one parent has sickle cell anemia and the other has sickle cell trait, then their offspring with have a 50 percent chance of getting sickle cell anemia and a 50 percent chance of getting a sickle cell trait.

When both parents have sickle cell anemia, their child will definitely have it.
