The element that is likely to form a ionic bond with potassium is Cl (answer A)
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
Ionic bond - is a bond formed when a metal and a non metal react.
Metal loses electron ( donate electrons) while non metal gains electrons ( accept electrons) to form ionic bond.
potassium is a metal while Chlorine(Cl) is a non metal. They react to form an ionic bond by potassium donating 1 electron while chlorine accept 1 electron.

This is known as mutation
Answer:
Dwarf plants should be 20
Tall plants should be 60
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for height in pea plants. The tall allele (T) is dominant over the allele (t). This means that T will always mask the expression of t in a heterozygous state.
Heterozygous state implies a plant that contains both dominant and recessive alleles i.e. Tt. Using a punnet square, two heterozygous pea plants (Tt × Tt) will produce four possible offsprings with genotypes: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.
TT, Tt, Tt are all phenotypically tall while the are phenotypically dwarf. Hence, a 3 Tall : 1 dwarf ratio was obtained. The phenotypic ratio can be used to determine the amount expected in offsprings.
Out of 80 offsprings, 1/4 × 80 will be dwarf i.e. 20
Out of same 80 offsprings, 3/4 × 80 = 60 will be produced.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
Bt corn is a genetically modified organism that contains a gene of bacteria known as Bacillus thuringiensis.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- Bt corn is a type of transgenic crop that contains a gene which produces a crystal-like protein which has an insecticidal effect.
- This gene is present in bacteria. This gene is transferred to the plant by the recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering.
- This bacterium is a soil bacterium which has no side effects on humans.
- Due to use of this technology, the poisonous chemical insecticides are not used in crop production.
