Many heavy radioactive atoms release alpha particles which are identical to helium-4 atoms. It is expected that emission of alpha particle will decrease the number of electrons and the original atom obtains positive charge. However, emission of one alpha particle decreases the atomic number of the original atom by 2 and the mass number decreases by 4. This is because atomic number of helium atom is 2 and the mass number is 4. As a result a new atom is formed. This is the product of the radioactive reaction.

What role does DNA play in the production of a protein?
klemol [59]

A

Explanation:

The coiling up of DNA with the help of histone proteins - to what is called heterochromatic regions-  is part of gene regulation. This makes genes inaccessible to RNA polymerase that makes mRNA from the genes. When the genes are exposed by DNA unwinding, these genes are transcribed and the resulting mRNAs are translated by ribosomes into proteins.

The DNA never unwinds completely, but rather does so region by region, because if it does so it would become so long that it wouldn't fit in the nucleus or cell.

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mag = 107.87 amu ).
Drupady [299]

Answer is: mass of a single silver atom is 1.79·10⁻²² grams.

m(Ag) = 107.87 amu.

The unified atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of atom mass.

One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg).

m(Ag) = 107.87 · 1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg.

m(Ag) = 1.79·10⁻²⁵ kg · 1000 g/kg.

m(Ag) = 1.79·10⁻²² g.
