Select one:
a. 8p+; 8n; 6e−

The correct answer is d. 8p+; 9n; 10e−

Oxygen exists in three isotopes ¹⁶O, ¹⁷O and ¹⁸O. The atomic number of oxygen is 8. It means its nuclei has 8 protons. The given is oxide⁻² anion. This means it has gained 2 electrons. Thus, oxide anion have 8 protons and 10 (8+2) electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope, in this question mass number is given¹⁷O. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Hence, number of neutrons oxide anion will be 17-8 = 9 neutrons.

Explain the purposes of gene expression studies. Describe the use of DNA microarray assays and explain how they facilitate such
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Both gene expression and DNA micro array study about the expression of gene during different stages of development.

Explanation:

The main purpose of gene expression studies is to determine the level of mRNA expressed at different stages of transcription in a tissue or at different stages of cellular development. If a gene is not “ON” during synthesis of RNA and protein, then the desired proteins are not produced. Such studies allow us to turn on such genes.  

DNA microarray  assays easily identify and determine the network of gene expression across the entire genome. The common application of DNA microarray include – mutation analysis and detection, assessment of gene cop, immunoassays etc.

The process of photosynthesis can be represented by the chemical formula A) C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy B) C6H12O6 + 6H
miv72 [106K]
C.
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Light is needed as energy in order for photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.
