Biology

navik [9.2K]3 years ago

Answer: C): the number of unpaired electrons.

Explanation: A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond formed by sharing equal number of electrons between two non-metal atoms so that both can attain the a stable octet or duplet structure of noble gases. The electrons shared by two non-metal atoms are the unpaired electrons. For example, in the formation of a chlorine molecule, a chlorine atom has seven valence electrons and electrons usually occur in pairs. Having seven valence electrons means that a chlorine atom has three pairs of electron and one unpaired electron in its outermost shell. The two chlorine atoms will combine together each donating its unpaired electron to be shared, thus leading the two atoms to attain stable octet structure of Argon.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

prevent excessive loss of water

Explanation:

The epidermis is a single layer of cells covering all plant organs. The epidermal cells are elongated in the direction of stem length and flattened. They have no chloroplast and their outer walls are covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents excessive loss of water through evaporation. The cuticle also protects the inner tissues from infection and mechanical injury.

Humans have twenty-three pairs of chromosomes and chimps have twenty-four pairs of chromosomes. what is the most likely explanat
Sedbober [7]
It is true that human has 23 chromosomes, in contrast to chimps who have 24 chromosomes,and lack any pair resembling the long human chromosome 2 pair and instead chimps have two pairs of medium sized chromosome, This would be explained by the fact that the common ancestor of both humans and chimpanzees had 24 chromosomes, however at some point in the human lineage, two chromosomes fused end to end, providing some selective advantage and thus humans ended up having 23 chromosomes instead of 23.
