The answer is; B

Mica easily split into two dimensional thin films along with its cleavage composed on phyllosilicate (the basic unit being two polymerized sheets of silica (SiO4) tetrahedrons). the sheets are cross-linked with cation hence its dielectric properties.

marshall27 [118]

There are two questions (1 and 2), answer are provided as such. The cha

Answer to Question 1

Population --> Whole Organism --> Organ system --> Organ --> Tissue --> Cell

Explanation:

- The cell is the simplest, basic and functional unit of life.

- Tissue is a collection of similar cells e.g brain tissue

- Organ is a collection of similar tissues e.g Liver, Lungs

- Organ system refers to a group of closely related organs performing the same function in an organism.

- Organism comprises of well-coordinated organ systems.

- Population refers to the total number of organisms living and breeding together.

Answer to Question 2

Cell --> Genome --> Gene --> Nucleotide

Explanation:

A cell consists of a nucleus and other organelles. Within the nucleus & other organelles like mitochondria lies the total genetic material of the cell known as GENOME.

- The genome contains several functional sequence of bases known as GENE.

- A gene is made of triplets of nucleotides (codons)

Explain how strong acids differ from strong bases in reference to H+ and OH+ ions stating whether there is a lot or a little in
Ierofanga [76]

Answer and explanation;

-Strong acids and bases are defined as compounds that completely ionize in water or aqueous solution. Weak acids and bases only partially dissociate.

A strong acid will fully dissociate in water to form H+ ions.

HCl + H2O---> H3O+ + Cl-  

This reaction is non-reversible. After dissolution, only a very very minute concentration of HCl itself remains in the solution, as most of the diluted HCl  has dissolved into ions.


Ka = [H+] [Cl-] / [HCl]

The same applied for bases. The only difference is that the base dissociates to form OH- ions instead.

Strong and weak bases will depend likewise on whether the reaction is reversible.

A strong base will completely dissociate to give more OH- ions.

An example of a strong base;

NaOH + H2O ---> Na+ + OH- + H2O


Kb = [Na+] [OH-] / [NaOH]

Can someone help me out with this? In pea plants, the allele for green seeds (G) is dominant over the allele for yellow seeds (g
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Parent 1: G gametes

Parent 2: g gametes

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for seed color in pea plants. The allele for green seeds (G) is dominant over the allele for yellow seeds (g). This means that a plant that is heterozygous (Gg) will possess green seeds.

If two parents are about to cross in such a way that Parent 1 is homo-zygous for green seeds i.e. GG, while Parent 2 is homo-zygous for yellow seeds i.e. gg.

- Parent 1 (GG) will produce only "G" gametes

- Parent 2 (gg) will produce only "g" gametes
