Answer:

A :an atom seeks to fill its outer shell of electrons

Explanation:

Reactions between atoms occur due the desire of an atom to fill their outer shell electrons.

The driving force for many interatomic bonding is the tendency to have completely filled outer energy levels like those of the noble gases.

The various interatomic interaction which leads to chemical reaction is in a bid for the atoms to be isoelectronic in the outer energy level with the noble gases.
This is achieved by gaining, losing or sharing of electrons.

The Barringer crater in Arizona contains a mineral, stishovite, only known to form under intense pressures caused by a high-spee

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Meteoric impact

Explanation:

An impact crater is usually defined as a circular depression or large scale pit that forms when any meteorite hits the surface of planet or moon or any other astronomical object. This causes immense destruction, wiping out a large number of area. The size of the crater depends upon the size of the meteorite or asteroid. For example, the Barringer crater, which is formed due to the meteoric impact on the earth. This crater is located in Arizona and is primarily comprised of a mineral, known as stishovite, which forms under the condition of extremely high pressure, that is generally caused by a high-speed impact.

Imagine that you attempted to recreate Mendel's work with garden peas. You began by crossing true breeding violet-flowered, tall

salantis [7]

Answer:

(a) 90

(b) 30

(d) 10

F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) is consistent with Mendel's law of segregation.

F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) and flower color (violet:white) is consistent with Mendel's law of independent assortment

Explanation:

The F2 phenotypes are supposed to be in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendelian law. The total number of F2 progeny is: 80 + 36 + 39 + 5 = 160

(a) Hence, the expected number of tall, violet plants will be:

9/16 x 160 = 90

(b) Expected number of tall, white plants will be:

3/16 x 160 = 30

(d) Expected number of dwarf, white plants will be:

1/16 x 160 = 10.

Total number of tall F2 plants = 80 + 36 = 116

Total number of dwarf F2 plants = 39 + 5 = 44

Expected ratio of tall:dwarf plants according to Mendel = 3:1

Expected number of tall plants = 3/4 x 160 = 120

Expected number of dwarf plants = 1/4 x 160 = 40

Chi square $X^2$

= $\frac{(observed frequency - expected frequency)^2}{expected frequency}$

$X^2$ for tall = $\frac{(116 - 120)^2}{120}$

= 0.1333

$X^2$ for dwarf = $\frac{(44 - 40)^2}{40}$

= 0.40

Total $X^2$ = 0.1333 + 0.4

0.5333

Degree of freedom = n - 1

2 - 1 = 1

Tabulated $X^2$ (α = 0.05) = 3.841

Since the tabulated $X^2$ is more than the calculated $X^2$ , the hypothesis that the F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) is consistent with Mendel's law of segregation is accepted.

Observed Expected $X^2$

tall, violet flowers 80 90 $\frac{(80-90)^2}{90} = 1.11$

tall, white flowers 36 30 $\frac{(36-30)^2}{30} = 1.2$

dwarf, violet flowers 39 30 $\frac{(39-30)^2}{30} = 2.7$

dwarf, white flowers 5 10 $\frac{(5-10)^2}{10} = 2.5$

Total 160 160 7.51

Degree of freedom = 4 - 1 = 3

Tabulated $X^2$ (α = 0.05) = 7.815

The tabulated $X^2$ value is more than the calculated $X^2$ value. Hence, F2 data for stem length (tall:dwarf) and flower color (violet:white) is consistent with Mendel's law of independent assortment.
