An element's atomic number is 74. How many protons would an atom of this element have?

Biology
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
3 0
Atomic number of an atom equals to the number of nucleus in the nucleus of the atom. Therefore, the answer is 74.

The proton of an element is never changed. No matter if it's an atom or ion. It's like an ID number for an element. It defines the type of element. Don't mix up atomic number with mass number though, mass number is the total sum of of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

Theres one more subatomic particle in an atom, that is electrons. But since they're too light, they won't be counted in mass. Also, the number of electrons in an atom equals to the number of proton, also the atomic number. If the number of electrons is different, it's no longer an atom, but an ion.

Why did artificial selection interest darwin?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<span>To prove his Theory of Evolution. After studying the different species of finches he found the Galapagos Islands, Darwin focused on breeding pigeons by selecting specific traits of different individuals (this is mainly a method through which different kinds of dog breeds came about). On the basis of these studies Darwin concluded that natural selection and artificial selection acted roughly in the same way. Darwin's decision to enforce a certain trait represented, in a sense, the selective pressure which is present in a natural environment (the law of the fittest).<span>

A laboratory report form should indicate when a specimen has been collected by capillary puncture because
musickatia [10]

A laboratory report form should indicate when a specimen has been collected by capillary puncture because certain test outcomes change depending on the specimen source.

<h3>What is capillary puncture?</h3>

For certain tests that call for small amounts of blood, people of any age may undergo capillary puncture or capillary sampling from a finger, heel, or (rarely) an ear lobe. The procedure is, nonetheless, frequently utilized on pediatric patients. For capillary testing on an adult patient, the finger is typically the first choice. Heel's sides are only used in young and neonatal patients. In surveys or research projects, ear lobes are occasionally employed.

In which direction does the replication fork move as dna replication occurs?
attashe74 [19]
DNA replication occurs in the 5 prime (5') to 3 prime (3') direction.
I'm sure you've heard this many times. I tutor in genetics, and all of my students can rattle that off. Less understand what it means.

First, understanding what 5' and 3' mean is important. DNA is composed of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a base (A,T,G,C). The sugar has a phosphate group attached to its fifth carbon, and a hydroxyl group on its 3rd carbon. Nucleotides (separate components of DNA) are linked by the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group. So, every nucleotide is linked at the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group besides two - the two nucleotides at either end of the strand of DNA. The one that leaves a phosphate group exposed is called the 5' end of DNA, and the one that leaves a hydroxyl group exposed is called the 3' end of DNA.

<span>A problem with many students just memorizing that replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction is that there are two strands of DNA involved in replication. DNA polymerase (the major enzyme responsible for replication) reads the already existing strand of DNA in the 3' to 5' direction, and creates the new strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction (meaning that it adds nucleotides to the 3' end of the new strand).</span>
