No. Ionic bonds form when atoms with opposite charges bond with one another. Atoms develop charges by gaining or losing electrons. For a given element, the atoms will (usually) have a tendency to gain OR lose a particular number of electrons, so they can only form ions of a particular charge that is either positive or negative.
Answer:
The correct answers are A and B.
Explanation:
Pleiotropy is defined as "when a single gene affects two or more phenotypic characteristic of an organism.". Phenotypic refers to the traits that can be physically observed or measured in an organism, for example height, hair color etc. So the examples of pleiotropy in the given options are in A and B which describe situations where one gene affects two or more phenotypic traits.
I hope this answer helps.
Answer:
Nucleation
Explanation:
The first step of formation of new phase, structure or self-assembly is called as Nucleation.
It is mentioned in the book of Molecular Biology of the Cell that whenever, In-vitro polymerization of micro-tubules and actin filament occur the first step is called nucleation. In other words Lag Phase.

I believe the miRNAs control gene expression by binding to mRNAs and degrading them or blocking their translation. The microRNAs are short non coding RNAs which function to regulate the process of gene expression. They bind to the 3-UTR of the target mRNAs and repress the production of protein by destabilizing the mRNA and translational silencing.
