Carbon is the sixth most abundant element in the planet. Without carbon, life will be non-existent. It provides the framework for all living organisms on Earth. A carbon atom is composed of six protons and six neutrons. Carbon is found in almost everything that surrounds us; they are in fuels, coals, natural gas, even the proteins that make-up hair and meat contain carbon. This is mainly because carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms to make a compound. It is naturally found in the environment and its abundance fits its purpose in our existence. <span>A Carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms.</span>

Two brothers inherit different sets of alleles from their parents. what effect will they have?
lesya692 [45]
Depending on what trait the alleles carry, the brothers will have a different phenotype and a different genotype.
For example; Eye color. My sister is heterozygous, meaning she has brown eyes. I am homozygous recessive, meaning I have blue(green/hazel) eyes. We both have the same parents, I just happened to inherit both of the recessive eye color alleles from my parents whereas, my sister inherited both the dominant and recessive alleles. 

So, since the brothers inherited different sets of alleles, their genotype for a certain trait will be different.

Which scenario would cause a covalent bond to form?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: A) Two atoms share electrons so they can fill their outer shells

Explanation: A covalent bond is a type of bond formed by sharing equal number of electrons between two non-metal atoms so that both of them can attain a stable octet or duplet structure of noble gases.

In covalent bonding, there is no loss or gain of electrons between atoms. For example, the formation of chlorine molecule, chlorine atom has seven electrons in its outermost shell, remaining one electron to attain an octet structure of noble gases. Two chlorine atoms share one pair of electron, each chlorine atom donating one electron to form a pair so that each atom in the chlorine molecule attains an octet structure..
