Answer:
The biggest known human gene, is made up of about 2.4 million bases. The Human Genome Project also gave us more detailed information about chromosomes. It turns out that chromosome 1 contains the most genes, while the Y chromosome has the fewest.

Answer:
Alkali metals
Explanation:
The alkali metals are a group of metallic elements which are present in the first group of the periodic table. In other words, they are present in group 1 of the periodic table. These elements have one electron in their valence shell, the reason why they are placed in group 1.
They ionize by losing one electron to achieve the configuration of the nearest Noble gas or inert gas. Because they need to offset only one electron in their outermost shell, they are very chemically reactive and hence rarely occur in the free state.
Examples of elements in this group include lithium, potassium and sodium. They each have one electron only in their outermost shells.
Answer:
CH₅N
Explanation:
In the combustion, all of the C in the compound was used to produce CO₂ in a 1:1 ratio. Thus, the moles of CO₂ (MW 44.01 g/mol) produced equals the moles of C in the compound:
(44.0 g)(mol/44.01g) = 0.99977 mol CO₂ = 0.99977... mol C
Similarly, all of the H in the compound was used to produce H₂O in a ratio of 2H:1H₂O. The moles of H₂O (MW 18.02 g/mol) produced was:
(45.0 g)(mol/18.02g) = 2.497...mol H₂O
Moles of H is found using the molar ratio of 2H:1H₂O:
(2.497...mol H₂O)(2H/1H₂O) = 4.994...mol H
The ratio of H to C in the compound is:
(4.994...mol H)/(0.99977... mol C) = 5 H:C
Some NO₂ was produced from the N in the compound. Assuming a 1:1 ratio of C:N, the simplest empirical formula is: CH₅N.
