Mass number = protons + neutrons

If you have the # of protons and the mass #, subtract the number of protons from the mass number to get the number of neutrons.

If you have the number of neutrons and the mass number, subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

<h3>Mass number:</h3>

The element's mass number is nothing but the sum of total number of neutrons and protons present in the element's nucleus. For example, if the mass number of nitrogen is 14, it means that there are 7 number of protons and 7 number of neutrons in the nucleus of the nitrogen.

The relationship between the number of proton and the neutron with that of mass number is that, the latter gives the count of the former. On contrary, the atomic number denotes the weight of the atom.

Explain how a testcross can provide evidence for or against linkage.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Testcrosses clarify linkage because each phenotypic class of progeny corresponds to each gamete type produced by the dihybrid parent.

Explanation:

  • A test cross involves the crossing of an individual with another phenotypically recessive individual so as to determine the zygosity of the former by analyses of the proportions of offspring phenotypes.
  • In order to determine linkage, the test cross shows that if the parentals are more than the recombinants, we can say that the two genes such as b and c  are genetically linked and therefore, they must be on the same chromosome.
  • Also, the test-crosses help to find out which alleles came from which parent.
  • By setting up testcrosses in which one parent is homozygous for the recessive alleles of both genes,we can analyze the gene combinations received in the gametes from the other, doubly heterozygous parent.

Suppose you use a microscope to look at a cell from the leaf of a tree. What structure will you see that would not be found in a
labwork [276]
Cell walls made of cellulose are present in plant cells. Human cells (skin, fingernails, muscle, etc.) do not have cell walls. Both plant and human fingernail cells have ribosomes and mitochondria. There are no cilia on either of the cells. Therefore, answer C is correct. Hope this helps! :)

Mountains formed by two colliding continents often contain marine _______ rock
stealth61 [152]
<span>The correct answer is Marine Sedimentary Rock. This means that when they collide, usually mountains come from out of the sea and move vertically up. This means that sedimentary marine rocks eventually become non-marine rocks since they're not in the sea anymore so they can be found on such mountains.</span><span />
