What is meant by "elastic collisions"?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leokris [45]3 years ago
5 0

Elastic collisions meant that there will be no change in the total momentum of the system and surrounding after collision.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Collision is the process where two or more bodies hit each other. So when they hit each other, transfer of energy will be occurring between them. In other words, the momentum can be changed after the collision. There are two kinds of collision.

  • elastic collision
  • inelastic collision

The elastic collision are those which will not undergo any change in the total momentum after collision. This means that the sum of momentum of the objects before collision will be equal to the sum of momentum of the objects after collision. Thus, there will be no change in the total momentum of the object after collision in case of elastic collision.

A diploid somatic ("body") cell has 2n = 20 chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have ______ chromosomes
kozerog [31]

Answer:

At the end of mitosis, 2n = 20

At the end of meiosis I, n = 10

At the end of meiosis II, n = 10

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which daughter cell produced are genetically identical to their mother cell. So, no. of chromosome does not change after mitosis.

So, at the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have <u>20</u> chromosome.

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which mother cell produces two haploid cells ones with a single set of chromosomes.

Meiosis is a two step cell division, Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

In meiosis I, homologous pair separates, so no. of chromosomes becomes half.

In meiosis II, sister chromatids separates. So, the number of chromosomes remains same (i.e. Have same no. of chromosome as present in cell produced after meiosis I).

So, at the end of mitosis, each daughter cell would have <u>20</u> chromosome.

At the end of meiosis I, each daughter cell would have n = 10 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each daughter cell would have n = 10 chromosomes.

A human zygote has 46 chromosomes. This number of chromosomes represents what in a human cell?
SOVA2 [1]
If the sperm carries a Y chromosome, it will result in a male. During fertilization, gametes from the sperm combine with gametes from the egg to form a zygote. The zygote contains two sets of 23 chromosomes, for the required 46.
