Data given

          Number of electron = 108

          Number of neutron = 158

Required

          Mass number=?

Solution  

           As we know that mass number = No of proton + No of neutron

In any neutral atom the number of proton is always equal to number of electron

So number of proton will be = 108

However the atom has +1 charge which means that one proton is less than no of electron so proton number is 107.

Put values in above formula, we will get

Mass number= 107+108

                      = 215  Mass number

Answer:

267.

Explanation:

Mass number may be defined as the sum of the number of  neutrons and number of  protons.

Mass number = No. of protons + No. of neutrons.

The atoms contains equal number of protons and equal number of electrons in a neutral atom. The ions has +1 charge and contains 108 electrons, it means the ion has losses one electron, the number of proton must be 109.

Mass number = 109 + 158.

Mass number = 267.

Thus, the answer is 267.

Answer:

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

Explanation:

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).

A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.

For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have

Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

What is the function of the cell identified with the letter C? Normal adult human blood smear with three different formed elemen
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The leukocyte, commonly known as a white blood cell (or WBC), is a major component of the body’s defenses against disease. Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.Although leukocytes and erythrocytes both originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, they are very different from each other in many significant ways. For instance, leukocytes are far less numerous than erythrocytes: Typically there are only 5000 to 10,000 per µL. They are also larger than erythrocytes and are the only formed elements that are complete cells, possessing a nucleus and organelles. And although there is just one type of erythrocyte, there are many types of leukocytes. Most of these types have a much shorter lifespan than that of erythrocytes, some as short as a few hours or even a few minutes in the case of acute infection.

Hope this helps :)
