Answer: The correct options are:

1.) there are eight neutrons in the nucleus

2.) there are eight protons

Explanation:

Since, it is given that given atom of oxygen is electrically neutral and it contains 8 electrons. This also means that number of protons present in it will also be 8.

Hence, its atomic number that is, sum of only total number of protons present in the oxygen atom are also 8.

Whereas mass number or atomic mass is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.

For example, given atom has atomic number is 8.  And, it is known that atomic mass of O is 16 g/mol.

Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.

                    Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                         16 = 8 + no. of neutrons

                    no. of neutrons = 16 - 8  

                                               = 8

Hence, we can conclude that in the given atom of oxygen there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

Explain mitosis and meiosis in your own words.
LuckyWell [14K]
I always remembered the differences by Mitosis sounds like My Toes Is. Which means its body cells reproducing. 
And Meiosis is My overies. Which is sex cells reproducing. 

Mitosis - The body cell's nucleus makes a copy of its chromosomes. The Chromotids are then pulled to the poles of the cell and split in half, the cell then divides in half into two new cells. Each cell has one pair of chromosomes each.

Meiosis - The sex cells nucleus makes a copy of each chromosome same as before. But then the similar chromosomes group up and swap parts with each other. Making completely new chromosomes. They then split in half again, making two new cells with two different pairs of chromosomes. Which then split apart Once more creating 4 new cells (From the original one) Each with completely random chromosomes.
