Biology
1 answer:
schepotkina [342]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

c. Protons, electrons

Explanation:

 The number of these electrons in a neutral atom is equivalent to the number of protons.  

Since protons have positive charge, they balanace the negative charge of electrons. Electrons have same level of charge per particle as a proton.

Neutrons posses no charge, so in a "neutral atom" the number of proton is equal to that of electrons, othermeans it will not be neutral.

When a electron is removed by natural or artificaial means , an ion results which is an electrically charged particle. It also happens some atoms take additonal electrons once they were previously neutral. They can also lose electrons and become positively charged,

2) Garrod hypothesized that "inborn errors of metabolism" such as alkaptonuria occur because A) metabolic enzymes require vitami
Alja [10]

The correct answer is: A) metabolic enzymes require vitamin cofactors, and affected individuals have significant nutritional deficiencies.

Garrod exanimated urine chemistry because he believed that it is reflection of systemic metabolism and disease. He wanted to understand disorders of metabolism such as alkaptonuria. By studying urine of mother that has disease and later her child’s urine he made a conclusion that it is inherited (Mendelian pattern of inheritance).

How can natural selection acting on one trait result in<br> geneticdrift of other genes?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The evolution of a species is driven by many evolutionary mechanisms two of which are: natural selection and the genetic drift.

The natural selection selects the species or the alleles which increase the reproductive success of the species in a given environment whereas the genetic drift cause evolution by randomly selecting the alleles based on the sampling error. The genetic drift selects the alleles or species by chance and not on the beneficial and harmful basis.

In the given question, If natural selection favours the one trait of the species on the basis if it provides fitness then it could result in a genetic drift of alleles of another trait as it is purely based on the chance.
