It would have 7 neutrons.

The number of neutrons is the mass number-number of protons. In this case, the mass number is 13. You have 6 protons. To find the number of neutrons you can subtract 6 from 1. The answer is 7 neutrons.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.

denpristay [2]

The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.

The alkali earth metal beryllium ( $Be$ ) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of $Be$ is: $1s^{2}2s^{2}$

From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell ( $2s^{2}$ ).

After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from $2s$ orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

$1s^{2}2s^{0}$

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as $Be^{2+}$ .

Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.

I would say Alaska because that's where most of the subarctic climate is found.

Mitosis and Meiosis Lab Report

poizon [28]

Answer:

Mitosis and Meiosis Lab Report

Instructions: In the Mitosis and Meiosis lab, you investigated sexual and asexual reproduction as well as the processes of cellular division by mitosis and meiosis. Record your observations in the lab report below. You will submit your completed report.

________________________________________

Name and Title:

Mitosis and Meiosis Lab Report.

Objective(s):

To learn and explore what mitosis and meiosis is and what they do.

Hypothesis:

Record your predictions during the zoo tour section of the lab in the data chart.

Procedure:

First, go into the mitosis and meiosis cycles. Then look at what happens when a sex cell from a female tiger is combined with a sex cell from a male tiger. Then investigate what happens when two starfish reproduce asexually. Then write down the predictions about how each organism will replicate. Then, keep track on whether or not the forecast was right.

Data:

Record your data from the zoo tour in the data chart below. Be sure to fill in the chart completely.

Zoo Organism Reproduction Prediction

(sexual, asexual, or both) Reproduction Result

(sexual, asexual, or both)

Elephant Sexual Sexual

Whiptail lizard Asexual Asexual

Parrot Sexual Sexual

Redwood tree Both Both

Amoeba Asexual Asexual

Jellyfish Asexual Both

Conclusion:

Your conclusion will include a summary of your lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please write in complete sentences.

1. List one-way mitosis and meiosis are the same and one way they are different.

Meiosis has 2 cell divisions, but mitosis has just one cell division. Since the parent cell develops diploid cells, meiosis I is the same as mitosis. The distinction between meiosis and mitosis is that after the whole process, meiosis produces genetically distinct haploid daughter cells, while mitosis produces genetically identical diploid daughter cells.

2. What is one advantage and one disadvantage of sexual reproduction?

The greatest benefit of sexual reproduction is that it aids in the development of offspring that are well suited to environmental environments due to genetic differentiation. As a result, the nation has a diverse range of descendants. The downside is that it needs two parents and takes longer than asexual reproduction.

3. What is one advantage and one disadvantage of asexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction has the advantage of requiring only one parent, taking a short amount of time, and producing genetically identical offspring. The only drawback is that when there is a catastrophe, the mortality rate is poor due to the generation of genetically identical offspring.

4. Some living organisms are capable of both asexual and sexual reproduction. Explain how this can be an advantage.

To produce offspring, the organism may use either sexual or asexual reproduction. If it is difficult to find a mate, the living being will use asexual reproduction to produce offspring quickly. Sexual reproduction is possible because the individual requires genetically distinct offspring for survival.

Try to paraphrase evrything. I already paraphrased the procedure but i reccomend using the website "quillbot" to paraphrase evrything else so you dont get in trouble! If you have any qustions im here to answer ;)

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

This type of experiment was carried out in 1960s on rodents, it was partially successful but was perceived impractical and dangerous for humans,it is possible theoretically.

Oxygen is broken down or dissolves in a thin film of fluid in the alveoli, surprisingly in normal breathing liquid composed of dissolved oxygen is involved. Evidently respiratory gas must be able to dissolve in this liquid and in concentration required to keep the partial pressure necessary to power diffusion.
