What does it mean to say B is representing the dominant gene

Chemistry
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Dominant genes are always represented by a capital letter which in this case is the letter B whereas recessive genes will be represented by a lower case letter like b.

You only need one copy of a dominant gene or allele to inherit it. A dominant allele is always expressed even if only one copy is present.

But you need two copies of genes or alleles to inherit the recessive gene. There also can't be a dominant allele of the gene if you are to inherit this.

Allele - Different forms of a gene

An unknown salt is either NaF, NaCl, or NaOCl. When 0.050 mol of the salt is dissolved in water to form 0.500 L of solution, the
victus00 [196]

<u>Answer:</u> The unknown salt is NaF

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of salt = 0.050 moles

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of salt}=\frac{0.050mol}{0.500L}\\\\\text{Molarity of salt}=0.1M

  • To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, we first calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

pH + pOH = 14

We are given:

pH = 8.08

pOH=14-8.08=5.92

  • To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.92=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=10^{-5.92}=1.202\times 10^{-6}M

The unknown salt given are formed by the combination of weak acid and strong acid which is NaOH

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of X^- ions follows:

                    X^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HX(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b

<u>Initial:</u>              0.1

<u>At eqllm:</u>        0.1-x                           x              x

Concentration of OH^-=x=1.202\times 10^{-6}M

The expression of K_b for above equation follows:

K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HX]}{[X^-]}

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_b=\frac{(1.202\times 10^{-6})\times (1.202\times 10^{-6})}{(1-(1.202\times 10^{-6}))}\\\\K_b=1.445\times 10^{-11}M

  • To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:  

K_w=K_b\times K_a

where,

K_w = Ionic product of water = 10^{-14}

K_a = Acid dissociation constant

K_b = Base dissociation constant = 1.445\times 10^{-11}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

10^{-14}=1.445\times 10^{-11}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.445\times 10^{-11}}=6.92\times 10^{-4}

We know that:

K_a\text{ for HF}=6.8\times 10^{-6}

K_a\text{ for HCl}=1.3\times 10^{6}

K_a\text{ for HClO}=3.0\times 10^{-8}

So, the calculated K_a is approximately equal to the K_a of HF

Hence, the unknown salt is NaF

Carl walked 12m north then turned around and walked back 4m south. What was his
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Distance: 16m Displacement: 8m North

Explanation:

Total distance is the total amount traveled, regardless of direction. So, you would just add 12 and 4 to get a total distance of 16m. Displacement is the distance/direction from the start to the end point, regardless of which way you got there. So, to find displacement, you just subtract:

12m North - 4m South = 8m North

** I could be wrong so definitely double check this answer with a similar question**

What is relative isotopic mass
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a dimensionless physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass constant. The atomic mass constant is defined as being 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Alla [95]

Answer:

This is not plagiarism      

Explanation:

Plagiarism maybe defined as the practice or process of copying or imitating another person's concept or idea or writing and pretending that these are their own work.  It involves violating the copyright laws.

In the given context, the given student version of paragraph is not plagiarism as words are different from the original writing. And the bibliography reference as well as the citation are correct.

Hence the student version of writing is not a plagiarism.
