1. Answer:
B) An allele is one form of a gene.
Explanation:
- <em><u>An allele refers to an alternative form of a gene. In other words it is one of the form of a gene.</u></em>
- <em><u>A gene may have two alleles, where one of the allele is a dominant allele and the other is a recessive allele. </u></em>
- A homozygous organisms may be dominant or recessive, a homozygous recessive contains two recessive alleles while a homozygous dominant contains two dominant alleles.
- A heterozygous organisms contain one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
2. Answer;
B) Alleles
Explanation;
- <em><u>According to Mendel genes are inherited in pairs of alleles that behave in a dominant and recessive pattern. </u></em>
- <em><u>Alleles are alternative forms of a gene. </u></em>
- A gene may have two alleles, where one of the allele is a dominant allele and the other is a recessive allele.
- A homozygous organisms may be dominant or recessive, a homozygous recessive contains two recessive alleles while a homozygous dominant contains two dominant alleles.
Answer:
(a) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
(b) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
(c) sp³
(d) No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
Explanation:
<em>Consider the SCl₂ molecule. </em>
<em>(a) What is the electron configuration of an isolated S atom? </em>
S has 16 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.
<em>(b) What is the electron configuration of an isolated Cl atom? </em>
Cl has 17 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
<em>(c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl₂? </em>
SCl₂ has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. Therefore, the orbital 3s hybridizes with the 3 orbitals 3 p to form 4 hybrid orbital sp³.
<em>(d) What valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the S atom in SCl₂?</em>
No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
Answer:
s = d÷ t
Explanation:
Where s means speed, d means distance and t means time
