Answer:
Mutations can be caused by high-energy sources such as radiation or by chemicals in the environment. They can also appear spontaneously during the replication of DNA. Mutations generally fall into two types: point mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In point mutations, one base pair is changed. A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations with small effects. Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious.
Have an awesome day friend! <3
Answer:
The answer is (e) : phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthase then amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase.
Explanation:
Phosphoglucomutase: Convert glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate.
UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase: Form UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate.
Glycogen synthase: Add the new glucose from UDP-glucose to the growing glycogen chain.
Amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase: This is a branching enzyme, it initiates formation of branches evolving from the main chain.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The central atom in the perbromate ion is bromine. The chemical symbol of bromine is Br. There are no lone pairs around the central bromine atom. The ion is tetrahedral in shape hence we expect a bond angle of 109°. 27 which is the ideal tetrahedral bond angle. The actual bond angle of the prebromate ion is 109.5°. The perbromate ion is BrO4^-
The observed bond angle is very close to the ideal value because of the absence of lone pairs of electrons from the central atom in the ion.
81. There is 1 carbon, 2 chlorine and fluorine atoms in Freon 12. To draw them it forms a cross with C in the middle and Cl and F both on the opposite side.

82. Freon-12 and Freon-14 are called halocarbons or just halides.
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case, the halflife of the radioactive isotope is 5000 years.
Initially the mass is 100 %; thus the mass that will be left will be given by;
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives;
n = 10000/5000 = 2
New mass = 100% ×(1/2)^2
= 100 % × 1/4
= 25%
Therefore; the mass left after 10000 years is 25% or 1/4 of the original mass.
