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.

The force of 20 N acts upon a 5kg block. What is the acceleration of the block?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

a is the acceleration

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 5 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the relationship between metals and the number of electrons in the outer level?
gayaneshka [121]
Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.

Determine the rate of a reaction that follows the rate law rate = k a m b i where
ikadub [295]
(missing part of your question):
when we have K = 1 x 10^-2 and [A] = 2 M & [B] = 3M & m= 2 & i = 1
So when the rate = K[A]^m [B]^i
and when we have m + i = 3 so the order of this reaction is 3 So the unit of K is L^2.mol^-2S^-1
So by substitution:
∴ the rate = (1x 10 ^-2 L^-2.mol^-2S^-1)*(2 mol.L^-1)^2*(3mol.L^-1)
                 = 0.12 mol.L^-1.S^-1
