Explanation:

   Isotopes:

                          ₁₅³¹P   and     ₁₅³²P

     Given parameters:

       ₁₅³¹P                                                   ₁₅³²P          

   Mass number = 31                                    32

   Atomic number = 15                                 15

The two atoms are isotopes. Now let us derive numbers of their subatomic particles

                       ₁₅³¹P                                             ₁₅³²P  

Protons              15                                                 15

Electrons           15                                                  15

Neutrons         (31-15) = 16                               (32-15) = 17

Because they are isotopes, they differ in the number of neutrons alone.

Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences  in the number of their neutrons.

We clearly see that the mass number and number of neutrons pertaining to the atom differs. This makes them isotopes.

Type of symmetry in which body parts are arranged in a circle around a central point
lukranit [14]
Type of symmetry in which body parts are arranged in a circle around a central point is called radial symmetry.  
<span>
This type of symmetry is characteristic for the sessile animals like Cnidaria and Echinodermata. Organisms with radial symmetry have no left or right sides, they have a top and a bottom surface, or a front and a back.</span>

In the 1950s, when Watson and Crick were working on their model of DNA, which concepts were well accepted by the scientific comm
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Option (1), (2) and (3).

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of all the living organisms present on earth. The DNA contains the nitrogenous bases, pentose sugar and the phosphate group. DNA strands runs in the opposite direction and shows polarity.  

Watson and Crick explain the structure of DNA based on the X ray diffraction produced by Rosalind. According to the structure, chromosomes are present in the nucleus and contains the DNA and wrapped around the proteins. The genes is considered as the functional segment of DNA.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1), (2) and (3).

The atoms of different phosphorus isotopes __________.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Have different numbers of neutrons

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element have different atomic numbers because thy differ in neutron number even though proton number remains the same across the isotopes. The mass number is the summation of the proton and neutron number. Phosphorus has approximately 23 isotopes whose mass number range between 25 and 47. Only ³¹P is stable.
