When an unstable Co-60 isotope undergoes alpha decay, the nucleus formed is

Biology

jarptica [38.1K]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be : formed nucleus is that of Mn.

Explanation:

Alpha decay is a process that is exhibited by unstable molecules to be more stable. During the alpha decay nucleus of the unstable element removes its two protons and two neutrons in a bundle that researchers call an alpha molecule.

Since a particle loses two protons during alpha decay, it changes starting with one component then onto the next.

Co has 27 protons and neutron in its nucleus emits a alpha molecules that contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons

27=2+z

z =25 in periodic table  25 atomic number of Mn.

Thus, the correct answer would be : formed nucleus is that of Mn.

C. Vector

Explanation:

Plague or bubonic plague is also called as black death. The pathogen responsible for this disease is <em>Yersinia pestis</em>. It is primarily a disease of rodents but can accidentally affect man. It spreads from rat to rat through rat flea (Xenopsylla) i.e flea act as the vector which transmits disease from one rat to another. But when the infected rats die, the fleas leave their body and can even bite man and inject the plague germs into his body. The symptoms of bubonic plague include high fever and a bubo or lump in the groin region or in the armpit region. Red patches appear on skin which turn black and ultimately leads to death called black death.

Why are rna and dna−rna hybrids denser than double-stranded dna?
Bess [88]
Ribonucleic acid, the basic unit of RNA, has a hydroxyl (-OH) on the second carbon atom. On the other hand, the deoxyribonucleic acid, the basic unit of DNA, has a single hydrogen in the second carbon. This chemical structure difference makes RNA heavier than DNA due to the extra carbon atom.
The RNA/RNA-DNA hybrids can be separated from double-standard DNA using a high-resolution centrifuge due to this difference in weight. The image belows shows the extra oxygen atom in the 2' carbon
