<span>If it loses that 1 electron (0 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it become an ion that is positively charge because it has more protons than electrons. [Ignore the neutrons] </span>

<span>If it gains an electron (2 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it becomes an ion that is negatively charge because it has more electrons than protons </span>

<span>A molecule - when 2 or more "different" elements combine or when 2 or more of the "same" elements combine </span>

<span>1 proton 1 electron <----- that is considered to be neutral </span>

<span>3 protons, 3 electrons <----- neutral </span>

<span>5 protons 5 electrons <----- neutral </span>

<span>6 protons, 5 electrons <-- positive ion [more protons than electrons] </span>

<span>5 protons, 8 electrons <--- negative ion [more electrons than protons] </span>

explain how a mutation is an individuals DNA occurs, and describe the effect it may have on the individuals trait. I need help o
Mazyrski [523]
Mutations are spontaneous and occur at random however there are some mutagenic agents which increase the chance of this happening such as radiation exposure. If it is a point shift mutation then only a few bases on the dna sequence are changed so only changes a few of the amino acids in that chain (such as inversion of a base). If its a frame shift then the base sequence is altered so much so that every amino acid from after that changes (such as deletion of a base) which can create things such as cri-du-chat syndrome which results from a piece of chromosome 5 is missing. Hope this helps:)

brilliants [131]
  1. Crossing over – often, the sister homologous chromosomes of a cell exchange genetic material through recombination of genes.
  2. Independent assortment/random fertilization – there are numerous variety of ways that the chromosomes of the gametes can combine, after meiosis, through fertilization to form a zygote
  3. Mutation – on rare occasion, there is a slight and random change in the genes of a gametic cell caused by environmental factors.
