Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is a reaction which brings change in the nucleus of an atom.

For example, ^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n

A chemical reaction is a reaction which results in the formation of new compounds which have different properties than their reactants.

Hence, in a nuclear reaction changes in an atom occurs whereas in a chemical reaction changes in a compound or molecule occurs.

Thus, we can conclude that a major difference between a chemical reaction and a nuclear reaction is that only nuclear reactions can change the identity of the atom.

Why is the Universal Law of Gravitation is a scientific Law and not a theory?
scoundrel [369]
This is a law because it describes the force but makes not attempt to explain how the force works. A theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity explains how gravity works by describing gravity as the effect of curvature of four dimensional spacetime.

I’m learning about heredity
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1. (See explanation)

2. 46. 23 from the mother’s egg and 23 from the father’s sperm.

Explanation:

ok for number one I am not entirely sure, but I am pretty sure that light, chemicals and temperature can all affect which genes get turned on and off. I am not entirely sure if the question is asking about the environment influencing inherited traits in the form of natural selection tho? If that is something you’re seeing right now, it might be a possible answer. But honestly I am not completely sure.
