This is the definition of a DNA mutation.

Depending on which part of the genome is affected, the consequences of a mutation may vary. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is transmitted to the next generation (see germinal mutations). It is one of the elements of biodiversity and one of the many factors that may be involved in the evolution of the species.

If 2 different gases have the same volumes but different masses, how will their densities compare?

olga_2 [115]

can i have brainiest

The two samples will have the same density because they are the same substance. The volume will have increased just enough to balance the greater mass. Key Concept- When substances have the same volumes but different masses, the substance having the greatest mass will be the most dense.

What is true when an element is oxidized? It bonds with the hydroxide ion. It loses electrons to another element. It reacts with

Mama L [17]

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.

Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.

$Fe\rightarrow Fe^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.

$\frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$

According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?

4vir4ik [10]

Note: Above question is incomplete: Complete question is read as
<span>According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
</span>A) hydrogen ions B) hydroxyl ions C) Sodium ions D) Chloride ion
.....................................................................................................................
Correct answer for above question is A) Hydrogen ions

Reason:
According the Arrhenius theory of acid and base, acid generates hydrogen ions in aqueous medium, while bases generates hydroxyl ions in aqueous medium.
Example of Acid:
HCl(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Example of Base:
NaOH(aq) → Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
