Three hydrogen atoms have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. These atoms are called isotopes, which are atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons. I hope this answer helps you. Please mark as Brainiest so I can rank up if it's correct. thanks.♥

Answer: The name given to elements with the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons is Isotope.

Explanation:

When the two different atoms of same element having same number of protons but are differing number of neutrons than those elements are known as isotopes of that element.

For these species, atomic number remains the same but atomic mass differs.

For Example:

$_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}\text{ and }_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ are the two isotopes of chlorine having different masses and same atomic number.

Hence, the correct answer is isotopes.

Describe the difference between the lytic cycle and lysogeny when bacteriophage infection occurs.

Shkiper50 [21]

Both are methods of viral multiplication inside the host cell.
Lytic cycle (which is more common) includes steps like:
1. Infection of the host cell-virus attaches to the receptor of the host cell, penetrates it and releases its genetic material into the host cell.
2. Virus Multiplication-Virus incorporated its genetic material into the host’s and uses its metabolism to multiply. Viral genetic material replicates separately from the host DNA.
3. Cell Destruction- Virus releases an enzyme that breaks the cell wall from within, thus destructing the host cell.
Lysogenic cycle also includes steps of infection, penetration and incorporation of the genetic material. But, after the virus integrates its genetic material it becomes dormant, letting the host multiple and continue its normal activities. Viral genetic material replicates within the host DNA during the host cell's division, so the daughter host cells are infected too. At some point, the virus is triggered, it multiplies and ultimately, destroys the host cells.

Which term best describes the difference in colors of the birds below?

NeX [460]

Answer:

The correct option is C) genetic variation

Explanation:

Genetic variation can be described as the differences present in the genetic material i.e DNA of organisms present in a population. Genetic diversity allows organisms of a species to better adapt to an environment. A population in which the genetic variability is scarce might become wiped out by a disease or an invading predator.

As the birds show different variations hence the term that best described them is genetic variation.

A meteorite is determined to be 4.5 billion years old. It now has 78 atoms of lead-206. Assuming no loss of daughter isotopes, h

vovangra [49]

Given the age of the meteorite is 4.5 billion years old with 78 atoms of lead-206 the answer should be B. 156. The half-life of uranium-238 in order to decay into lead-206 is 4.46 billion years, which means that the original number of atoms is 156.

galben [10]

Because, photoautotrophs serves as their carbon sources.
Chemoheterotrophic bacteria are those bacteria that are incapable of producing their own food, they depend on photoautotrophs, which are capable of making their own food by trapping energy from the sun. Thus, photoautotrophs serves as source of food for the chemoheterotrophic bacteria.
