Answer: Allele

A gene is a basic unit of inheritance. A gene is located on a fixed position in a chromosome. They consists of genetic information in the form of nucleotides. They provide instructions to the cell machinery or organelles to produce specialized molecules called as proteins. Proteins are produced in order to perform a specialized function in the organism. An allele is a form of gene. The genes have two alternate forms of alleles, either of the allele when expressed in the organism produces a particular phenotype.

Suppose an alkane had 8 carbon atoms. How many hydrogen atoms would it have? a. 18 atoms c. 10 atoms b. 16 atoms d. 12 atoms

Delvig [45]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. <em>18 hydrogen atoms </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
<em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.
