You are examining the DNA sequences that code for the enzyme phosphofructokinase in skinks and Komodo dragons. You notice that t

he coding sequence that actually directs the sequence of amino acids in the enzyme is very similar in the two organisms but that the surrounding sequences vary quite a bit. What is the most likely explanation for this?
A. Coding sequences are repaired more efficiently.
B. Coding sequences are replicated more efficiently.
C. Coding sequences are packaged more tightly in th e chromosomes to protect them from DNA damage.
D. Mutations in coding sequences are more likely to e deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.
E. Recombination between skink and Komodo dragon DNA occurred recently.

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.

Which equation represents the total ionic equation for the reaction of HNO3 and NaOH? Upper H superscript plus, plus upper O upp
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Total Ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

HNO₃ + NaOH →  NaNO₃ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

HNO₃(aq) + NaOH(aq) →  NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Total Ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → H₂O(l)  

The NO₃⁻ (aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation

Consider the following reversible reaction.
andriy [413]

Answer:

No one is correct. The correct expression is:

Keq = [H₂]²  . [O₂]² / [H₂O]²

Explanation:

To build the Keq expression in a chemical equilibrium you must consider the molar concentrations of reactants / products, and they must be elevated to the stoichiometric coefficient.

The balance reaction is:

<u>2</u> H₂O (g)  ⇄  <u>2</u> H₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)

Keq = [H₂]²  . [O₂]  / [H₂O]²

In opposite side: <u>2</u> H₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)   ⇄  <u>2</u> H₂O (g)

Keq =  [H₂O]² / [H₂]²  . [O₂]
