Answer:

A mutation in the DNA results in a change in the mRNA and, ultimately, to a different protein structure. The DNA sequence found within a gene controls protein synthesis. If the DNA sequence is altered, this can alter the amino acid sequence within a protein

Explanation:

Your DNA is the blueprint used to make proteins. Your DNA is used to make a strand of mRNA (Messenger RNA.) This is sent to a ribosome where it is read. The codons in the mRNA instruct the ribosome which amino-acid to attach to the end of the protein chain and when to let it go.

If your DNA mutates then the mRNA copied from it will be different. When that gets to the ribosome the effect depends on just what the altered codon(s) are. The ribosome will blindly follow the instructions it has been given. This might be to add a different amino-acid to the chain or to prematurely release it.

Chlorine is a toxic, corrosive, reactive gas. Which representation (structural formula, electron dot structure, or three-dimensi

DanielleElmas [232]

electron dot structure

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are driven by transfer or sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. To show a specie that is reactive, a sound knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the atom is necessary.

The electron dot structure shows only chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots which represents the valence electrons.
The chemical symbol represents the nucleus and all electrons except the valence ones.
The dots arranged on the four sides are called lone pairs. Those that are unpaired are called odd electrons.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
It is made up of 3 lone pairs and 1 odd pair of electron.
The odd pair accounts for the reason why chlorine is very reactive.
It will only require just one electron to join the odd pair so as to complete the octet and be like the noble gases.

Citric acid is a naturally occurring compound. what orbitals are used to form each indicated bond? be sure to answer all parts.2

Rina8888 [55]

Answer : The orbitals that are used to form each indicated bond in citric acid is given below as per the attachment.

Answer 1) σ Bond a : C has $SP^{2}$ O has $SP^{2}$ .

Explanation : The orbitals of oxygen and carbon which are involved in $SP^{2}$ hybridization to form sigma bonds. This is observed at 'a' position in the citric acid molecule.

Answer 2) π Bond a: C has π orbitals and O also has π orbitals.

Explanation : The pi-bond at the 'a'position has carbon and oxygen atoms which undergoes pi-bond formation. And has pi orbitals of oxygen and carbon involved in the bonding process.

Answer 3) Bond b: O $SP^{3}$ H has only S orbital involved in bonding.

Explanation : The bonding at 'b' position involves oxygen $SP^{3}$ hydrogen atoms in it. It has $SP^{3}$ hybridized orbitals and S orbital of hydrogen involved in the bonding.

Answer 4) Bond c: C is $SP^{3}$ O is also $SP^{3}$

Explanation : The bonding involved at 'c' position has carbon and oxygen atoms involved in it. Both the atoms involves the orbitals of $SP^{3}$ hybridized bonds.

Answer 5) Bond d: C atom has $SP^{3}$ C atom has $SP^{3}$

Explanation : At the position of 'd' the bonding between two carbon atoms is found to be $SP^{3}$ . Therefore, the orbitals that undergo $SP^{3}$ hybridization are $SP^{3}$ .

Answer 6) Bond e : C1 containing O $SP^{2}$

C2 is $SP^{3}$

Explanation : The carbon atom which contains oxygen along with a double bond has $SP^{2}$ hybridized orbitals involved in the bonding process; whereas the carbon at C2 has $SP^{3}$ hybridized orbitals involved during the bonding. This is for the 'e' position.
