Answer:

C. Gene

Explanation:

   The gene is a segment of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule responsible for genetically inherited traits. Each gene consists of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code (instructions) to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body.

    Most genes are contained in chromosomes. The chromosome consists of a long strand of DNA wrapped around a special protein called histone. Most chromosomes contain several different genes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes - one pair of sexual chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men) plus 22 pairs of nonsexual chromosomes called autosomes. Chromosomes are transmitted from parents to children through sperm and eggs. One chromosome from each pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.

kolezko [41]
Answer:
A 12.630 bar of chocolate contains 8315 milligrams of sugar

Explanation:
From the basics of conversion, we can find that:
1 gram is equal to 1000 mg
Using cross multiplication, we can find how many milligrams are present in 8.315 grams as follows:
1 gram .............> 1000 mg
8.315 grams ....> ?? mg
amount in milligrams = (8.315*1000) / 1 = 8315 milligrams

Hope this helps :)

Calculate the concentration of all ions present in each of the following solutions of strong electrolytes. a. 0.100 mole of Ca(N
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

[Ca²⁺] = 1M

[NO₃⁻] = 2M

Explanation:

Calcium nitrate dissociates in water as follows:

Ca(NO₃)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻

The moles of Ca²⁺ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and Ca²⁺

(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (Ca²⁺ /Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.100 mol Ca²⁺

The concentration of Ca²⁺  is then:

[Ca²⁺] = n/V = (0.100mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 1M

Similarly, moles of NO₃⁻ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and NO₃⁻:

(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (2NO₃⁻/Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.200 mol NO₃⁻

The concentration of NO₃⁻ is then:

[NO₃⁻] = (0.200mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 2M

Plz answer thx<br><br><br> ​How many moles are in 2.5 x 10^18 grams of water?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.

Explanation:

Mass of water = m = 2.5\times 10^{18} g

Molar mass of water = M = 18 g/mol

Moles = n = \frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{2.5\times 10^{18} g}{18 g/mol}=1.39\times 10^{17} moles

So, there are 1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.

Can someone show their work on how to do this: Calculate the number of moles of Al2O3 present in 23.87g. (Molar mass of Al2O3= 1
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.234 moles

Explanation:

moles of Al2O3 = mass / molar mass

moles of Al2O3 = 23.87g / 102.0g/mol

moles of Al2O3 = 0.234 moles (to three significant figures)
