Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

A gene or genetic mutation is a permanent alteration in the sequence of DNA that makes up a gene. It can affect individuals in two ways in body cells by gametic cells that may transfer to offspring and somatic cells are only affect the individual but not passes on to offspring.

Somatic or body cell mutations occur during a person's lifetime and are occur only in certain cells in the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

What is the formula for this compound?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Symbols: Each capitol letter means that there is a new element

Li2

Cl3

is made of lithium and chlorine

Na2

SO4 is made of sodium, sulfur and oxygen

Chemical Formulas are used to describe a chemical compound, when two or more atoms

combine to form a new substance.

A combination of chemical symbols shows the elements that make up a chemical compound.

The chemical formula for water is H2O

H stands for HYDROGEN.

O stands for OXYGEN.

Subscripts are numbers that come after a symbol and below. Subscripts tell you the number of

atoms of that element. If an element does not have a subscript, then it is understood that the

subscript is 1.

Li2Cl3 has two lithium atoms and three chlorine atoms

Na2SO4 has two atoms of sodium, one atom of sulfur, and four atoms of oxygen

A subscript outside a parenthesis affects all the elements inside the parenthesis. Multiply the

subscript on the outside by the subscript of the atoms on the inside.

Al (SO4)3 has 1 atom of aluminum, 3 atoms of sulfur, and 12 atoms of oxygen.

Coefficients are full size numbers in front of chemical formula. The coefficient multiplies everything

in the formula. It also represents the number of molecules of that compound.

2Na2

SO4 has 4 sodium atoms, 2 sulphur atoms, and 8 oxygen atoms.

2Al (SO4)

3 has 2 aluminum atoms, 6 sulfur atoms, and 24 oxygen atoms

When you count atoms, remember to multiply the coefficient number and the subscript number to find

the number of atoms of that element.

Answer - <span>C) Trees and shrubs provide shade, which keeps the water temperature cooler. Lower temperatures allow the water to hold more oxygen, which in turn creates a healthier habitat for the trout.</span>

Reasoning - The back story is if the water temperature is being changed. It will affect the trout indirectly warming the water. In turn if you have shades and shrubs to provide it for cooler areas it will preserve O2 a Certain Habitat for the Species.
