Answer:

ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

There are one valance electron in sodium so it needed to lose one valance electrons to complete the octet while chlorine needed one electron to complete the octet. Thus electrons lost by sodium atom is gained by atom of chlorine and form ionic compound.

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

If p = frequency of A and q = frequency of a, then assuming H-W equilibrium we have

p + q = 1 ⇒ q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.55 = 0.45

Then the expected frequency of the heterozygous genotype Aa is 2pq = 2 • 0.55 • 0.45 = 0.495.

Which part of the cell theory do these results most support:

Vlad1618 [11]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

$\huge\textbf{Cell Theory}$

the Cell Theory was give by German scientists, Schleiden and T.Shwan in 1839. It stated that,

All organism are composed of one or more cells

The cell is the structural and functional unit of life
It is a de novo structure, that means it COULD arise from non living thing which was incorrect.

It was corrected by the German pathologist Rudolf Virchow in 1855. He made a convincing case, corrected and added the third point of the cell theory. It is,

Cells can arise only by a division of pre-existing cell. It is <u>NOT</u> a de novo structure.

Cell theory brought a great evolution in the field of biology which established the function of organism is the result of activities and interaction of the cell units.

$\huge\textbf{Question:}$

<u>Flask 1</u>: It is observed that there are no micro-organism, this is because the meat is sealed and no micro-organism could enter through it.
<u>Flask 2</u>: It is observed that there are micro-organism present because meat is not sealed but open.
<u>Flask 3</u>: As the S tube is used, the micro-organism are not able to reach the meat because of the curvy path

These observations support the point that<u> cells could arise only by a division of pre-existing alive cells</u> because in Flask 1 when there were no micro-organism present so there was no organisms found so no micro-organism arised, In flask 3 the S tube was used so no micro-organism could reach the meat thus there were no organism there which could divide to reproduce. The flask 2 was open, so the micro organisms reached the meat so they divided which means Cells can only arise by a division of pre-existing cells.

Justify your choice of an objective to use when starting your observation of the euglena wet mount; of the euglena are swimming

IgorC [24]

Answer: If the Euglena is kept on the wet mount and it is sliding towards the left on the mount then to observe the Euglena in the microscope it wet mount should be slide towards right.

The movement of Euglena can be slowed down doing this. This will help us to observe it under microscope inspite of its movement.

Compound microscope is used to view Euglena.
