Answer:Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to gain or share electrons when they react.
Explanation: Non-metals are elements that gain electron to form negatively charged ions known as anions.
When non-metals react, they either gain/accept electron from a metal atom or share electron with another non-metal atom. When a non-metal accepts an electron from a metal atom, the type of bond formed is called ionic or electrovalent bond. In electrovalent bond, the metal atom transfers its valence electrons to the non-metal atom so that both attain a stable octet or duplet structure.
When a non-metal shares electron with another non-metal atom, the type of bond formed is known as covalent bond. In covalent bond, the two non-metal atoms share a pair of electron, each atom donating one electron to form a pair.
The chromosome must be duplicated before mitosis.
Mitosis is where a parent cell divides and produces 2 genetically indentical daughters cells. This process first requires the parent call to duplicate all of its genetic material. This ensures that the daughters cells are genetically identical to the parent cell and also the other daughter cell.
This is important because mitosis is used in many cases in living things such as growth, repair, and more. This ensures us for example not suddenly changed to another organism or another characteristic.
