Answer:

concentration of calcium ion mEq/L = 1.21 x 2 = 2.42mEq/L

Explanation:

given

  • concentration of calcium ion in blood =  1.21 mmol/L
  • Concentration in mEq/L = Concentration in mmol/L x valence of the ion
  • but Valence of Ca2+=2
  • The valence electron is the number of electron present in the outermost shell. Calcium belongs to the group2 elements also known as the alkaline earth metal, and their valence electron is 2.

  • Hence, concentration of calcium ion mEq/L = 1.21 x 2 = 2.42mEq/L

where mEq/L  = milliequivalent per liter

A genetic mutation causes a newt to have faster reflexes. After many generations, most of the newt population has the reflex mut
timurjin [86]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because the newts with this mutation have faster reflexes, they are able to evade predators much better than the normal newts. This increases their chances of survival hence are more likely to reach reproductive age than the normal newts. Therefore they have a higher probability of passing their genes to the next generations. With each generation, newts with the mutated gene will increase.
