Answer:

10 chromosomes/sister chromatids

Explanation:

Prophase is the first stage of cell division (mitosis). Prior to the cell entering the actual division stage, it undergoes a phase where it prepares its content and most importantly undergo the duplication of its genetic material (DNA). This DNA are found as chromosomes. It undergoes replication of its DNA in the S-phase of interphase stage.

Since Arabidopsis thaliana has 10 chromosomes, and each chromosome holds one DNA molecule, 10 molecules of DNA will be present in the mustard plant's genome. These 10 molecules of DNA will be replicated on another copy of chromosome which is identical to the template. This chromosomes are called SISTER chromatids i.e. replicated chromosome. Each sister chromatids are held together at the centromere and are considered one individual chromosome until they separate during anaphase stage.

Hence, at the Prophase stage, before separation, each sister chromatid (replicated chromosome) is considered as one chromosome. Thus, in the mustard plant with 10 chromosomes, it will possess 10 sister chromatids or chromosomes at the Prophase stage.

N.B: When sister chromatids separate during anaphase stage, they will be regarded as individual chromosomes.

Which policy would most likely decrease a city's gasoline use <br>​
Daniel [21]

Make sure the gas cap is on tight. One reason you may not be getting the mileage you expect is because there isn't as much gas in your tank as you think. 147 million gallons of gas were lost last year due to evaporation. Why did it evaporate? The gas cap was not on tight. So just make sure it is tight, and it will enable you to keep all the gas you pay for

Write a 600 word report discussing nuclear reactors. The report should include a description of the way a reactor works and the
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A nuclear reactor is an installation capable of initiating, maintaining and controlling the chain fission reactions that take place in the reactor core, consisting of the fuel, coolant, control elements, structural materials and moderator in the case of nuclear thermal reactors.

The core is the part of the reactor where the nuclear chain reaction is produced and maintained.

Components of the core:

The fuel of a nuclear reactor is fissionable material.

Control rod beams provide a rapid means of controlling the nuclear reaction, allowing rapid changes in reactor power and eventual shutdown in case of emergency.

The neutrons produced in fission have a high energy in the form of velocity. Their speed should be reduced to increase the probability of other atoms fissioning and not to stop the chain reaction. This is achieved by elastic collisions of the neutrons with the nuclei of the moderator.

Most of the energy released by fission is in the form of heat. To be able to use this, a refrigerant must pass through the interior of the reactor that absorbs and transports this heat.

In a nuclear chain reaction, a certain number of neutrons tend to escape from the region where it is produced. This neutron leakage can be minimized by the existence of a reflecting medium, thus increasing the efficiency of the reactor.

When the reactor is in operation, a large amount of radiation is generated. Protection is needed to isolate the installation workers from radiation caused by fission products. Therefore, a biological shield is placed around the reactor to intercept these emissions.

A breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates more fissile material in the fuel than it consumes. Considered highly attractive because of their superior fuel economy: a normal reactor consumes less than 1% of the natural uranium that starts the fuel cycle, while a 'breeder' can burn it almost completely. It also generates less waste for the same amounts of energy. Breeders can be designed to use thorium, which is more abundant than uranium. Currently, there is renewed interest in both breeder designs due to the increased price of natural uranium.

All commercial reactors breed fuel, but they have low (though still significant) breeding ratios when compared to machines that are traditionally considered breeders. In recent years, the commercial energy industry has been emphasizing high burn fuels, which last longer in the core of the reactor.

Reproduction of fissile fuel is a common feature in reactors, but commercial reactors are not optimized for this feature which is referred to as improved burning. Up to one-third of all electricity produced in the current U.S. reactor inventory comes from reproducible fuel, and the industry is working hard to increase that percentage over time.

The advantages are:

Generates a large amount of electricity

No production of greenhouse gases

Dependence on oil is reduced

Less damage to the environment

A major disadvantage is the difficult management of the nuclear waste generated.

Nuclear power plants have a limited lifetime. The investment for the construction of a nuclear plant is very high.

1. The right answer is AC (alternative current) generators.

AC current (which can be abbreviated as AC) is a periodic electrical current that changes direction twice per period and carries alternating amounts of electricity in one direction and the other1. An alternating current therefore has a continuous component (average value) zero.


2. The right answer is Repel, and attract.

The nucleus of an atom is an assembly of protons and neutrons concentrated in a very small volume and subjected to two different forces: the nuclear force and the electric force.

The electric force only acts on charged particles, attracting those which are of opposite signs and repelling those of the same sign. This "long" distance force allows the negatively charged electrons to be retained around the positively charged nucleus.


3. The right answer is electric circuit

An electrical circuit in the material sense is a simple or complex set of electrical or electronic components, including simple conductors, traversed by an electric current.

In the sense of circuit theory, an electrical circuit is an abstraction of material configurations, an arrangement of elements defined by mathematical relations, connected by ideal conductors.


4. The right answer is Volts and current.

Volt (V) is the unit of measurement of the electrical voltage in a circuit between a point A and a point B, obtained with a device called a voltmeter. It is to Alessandro Volta, Italian physicist and inventor of the electric battery, that we owe this name.

The ampere (A) is the unit of measurement of the intensity of an electric current, that is to say the flow of electrons in a conductor. André-Marie Ampère, the inventor of the electromagnet, gave his name to this unit.


5. The right answer is north pole.

The magnetic North Pole of the Earth is a unique wandering point on the surface where the Earth's magnetic field is pointing down. That is, the "dip"  is 90 °. The needle of a compass points approximately towards this place (more or less approximately according to the place where one is, exactly the compass is tangent to the line of field).


6. The right answer is perpendicular.

In a cyclotron, the magnetic field is applied perpendicularly in an empty disk-shaped chamber, which contains two D-shaped semicircular electrodes. The rectilinear portions of these electrodes face each other. The flow of electrons or ions crossing a perpendicular magnetic field is subjected to a forceperpendicular to the direction of movement.


7. The right answer is current

A solenoid is a device consisting of an electric wire wound regularly in a spiral so as to form a long coil. Running through a current, the solenoid produces a magnetic field in its vicinity, and more particularly inside the helix where this field is almost uniform.
