Explain the purpose and function of a gene.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
8 0

Function

Genes decide almost everything about a living being. One or more genes can affect a specific trait. Genes may interact with an individual’s environment too and change what the gene makes.

Genes affect hundreds of internal and external factors, such as whether a person will get a particular color of eyes or what diseases they may develop.

Some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia and Huntington’s disease, are inherited, and these are also affected by genes.

Purpose

The purpose of genes is to store information.

Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.

Hope this helps !!

How many moles of no2 are equivalent to 74.3g of no2
AfilCa [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 1.615 moles

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The molar mass of NO2

 = 46.01 g/mol

The mass of NO2 given is 74.3 g

Number moles = mass/ molar mass

                        = 74.3 g/ 46.01 g/mol

                       = 1.615 moles

A steel container filled with H₂ gas is at a pressure of 6.5 atm and a temperature of 22°C. If the container is placed near a fu
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: The new pressure is 7.1 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=6.5atm\\T_1=22^0C=(22+273)K=295K\\P_2=?\\T_2=50^0C=(50+273)K=323K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{6.5}{295}=\frac{P_2}{323}\\\\P_2=7.1

Hence, the new pressure is 7.1 atm

What are the formal charges of both chlorines and iodine in icl2?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 Formal charge of ICl₂⁻

Formal charge = group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

In I there are 7 electrons in outermost orbit . If we add one more electrons due to - ve charge on the ion , it becomes eight . This centrally placed iodine forms two single bond with two chlorine atoms on either side.

Each of chlorine atoms also contains 7 valance electrons like iodine.

So formal charge of chlorine

= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

= 7 - ( 6 + 1 )

= 0

So formal charge of iodine

= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

= 7 - ( 5 + 2 )

=0

 Formal charge of ICl₂⁺

In this case , central iodine will have only 6 valence electrons due to absence one electron.

So formal charge of chlorine in  ICl₂⁺

= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)

= 7 - ( 6 + 1 )

= 0

formal charge of iodine in  in   ICl₂⁺

7 - ( 4 + 2)

= 1
