Oxygen is an element in the sixth group of the periodic table. This means it contains 6 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its octet, it will prefer to gain two electrons rather than to donate 6. This is why its valency is -2. The relatively easy to achieve octet makes Oxygen a reactive element.

Humans are diploid organisms, and their gametes contain 23 chromosomes. Fill in the blank in each sentence using the terms. Each
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

2n, n, diploid

Explanation:

<em>When the somatic cells of human are in interphase, the ploidy level is denoted as </em><em>2n (diploid)</em><em>. The ploidy level of the human's gametes is denoted as </em><em>n (haploid)</em><em>. The 2n number of a human is </em><em>diploid</em><em>.</em>

Somatic cells are also known as vegetative cells and all somatic cells of humans have diploid number of chromosomes. At interphase, the number of chromosome remains diploid (2n) but the amount to DNA is doubled at the synthesis phase of the interphase.

Human gametes are formed through meiosis - the division of sex cells in the human body. Meiosis results in the halving of number of chromosomes of cells. Hence, all human gametes contain half the number (n = 23) of chromosome of vegetative cells.

Humans are diploid organisms with diploid (2n = 46) number of chromosomes in their vegetative cells.

Answer:

A stellar-mass black hole forms when a star with more than 20 solar masses exhausts the nuclear fuel in its core and collapses under its own weight. The collapse triggers a supernova explosion that blows off the star's outer layers.
