Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.

Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.

First, all what we have here is an acid  base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.

In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

See picture 2, for mechanism

Answer:

The correct answer is - they can create genetic diversity as well and reproduce without mate when necessary.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction provides an organism with genetic diversity and variation by the process and it required two mates and a longer time to pollination and fertilization and is used in normal conditions.

In case of a threat, such organisms use asexual reproduction to increase their number as in asexual reproduction no need of mate, an organism can grow and increase on its own it provides to not to exitinct.

What fraction of a sample of 6832ge, whose half-life is about 9 months, will remain after 2.9 yr ?
Viefleur [7K]
<span>The half-life of 9 months is 0.75 years. 2.0 years is 2.0/0.75 = 2.67 half-lives. Each half-life represents a reduction in the amount remaining by a factor of two, so: A(t)/A(0) = 2^(-t/h) where A(t) = amount at time t h = half-life in some unit t = elapsed time in the same unit A(t)/A(0) = 2^(-2.67) = 0.157 15.7% of the original amount will remain after 2.0 years. This is pretty easy one to solve. I was happy doing it.</span>
