two molecules or moieties combine to form one single molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule. When this small molecule is water, it is known as a dehydration reaction; other possible small molecules lost are hydrogen chloride, methanol, or acetic acid.
Answer:
Any compound/molecule that contains carbon is considered an organic molecule. This is because carbon is considered the basis for all life on earth. Therefore, the answer is organic.
Answer:
Boyle's Law explains the relationship between volume and pressure. According to Boyle's Law, the volume of a fixed amount of gas decreases as its pressure increases. If the volume increases, its pressure decreases.
Answer:
Transmission electron microscope (MET): allows sample observation in ultra-thin sections. A TEM directs the electron beam towards the object to be increased. A part of the electrons bounce or are absorbed by the object and others pass through it forming an enlarged image of the specimen. To use a TEM, the sample must be cut into thin layers, not larger than a couple thousand thousands of angstroms. A photographic plate or a fluorescent screen is placed behind the object to record the enlarged image. Transmission electron microscopes can increase an object up to a million times.
A scanning electron microscope creates an enlarged image of the surface of an object. It is not necessary to cut the object into layers to observe it with an SEM, but it can be placed in the microscope with very few preparations. The SEM scans the image surface point by point, unlike the TEM, which examines a large part of the sample each time. Its operation is based on traversing the sample with a very concentrated beam of electrons, similar to the scanning of an electron beam on a television screen. The electrons in the beam can disperse from the sample or cause secondary electrons to appear. Lost and secondary electrons are collected and counted by an electronic device located on the sides of the specimen. Each point read from the sample corresponds to a pixel on a television monitor. The higher the number of electrons counted by the device, the greater the brightness of the pixel on the screen. As the electron beam sweeps the sample, the entire image of it is presented on the monitor. Scanning electron microscopes can enlarge objects 200,000 times or more. This type of microscope is very useful because, unlike TEM or optical microscopes, it produces realistic three-dimensional images of the object's surface.
Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)
b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over
c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1
Explanation:
The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.
C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.
