Answer: By losing its two outermost electron
Explanation:
Calcium is a element that belongs to group 2 in the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 20, and an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 2.
Hence, to form an octet structure, it gives off its two electrons as shown below:
Ca <----> Ca2+ + 2e-
Thus, by losing its two outermost electrons, a positively charged calcium ion (Ca2+) is formed
Answer:
50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis
Explanation:
Since the normal allele "F" will be the dominant allele while the mutated CFR allele "f" will be the recessive allele, <u>the gene (pair of alleles) of the person that is a CFR carrier will be "Ff" while that of the normal person who isn't a carrier will be "FF"</u>. The attachment shows the crossing between the two parents. From the illustration in the attachment, for every 4 children given birth to, 2 of them will likely be normal, "FF", (not a carrier and doesn't have cystic fibrosis) while 2 others will likely be carriers of cystic fibrosis (Ff). Hence, 50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis.
Answer:
Changes in the environment affect the food sources available for birds. For example, if a flood was to occur, there would be an abundance of fish to birds to eat. So birds with bigger beaks will be able to eat fish, to live and reproduce offspring with bigger beaks. While birds with smaller beaks will not be able to catch fish to eat, therefore decreasing the population of birds with smaller beaks.
The effects of global warming or climate damage include far-reaching and long-lasting changes to the natural environment, to ecosystems and human societies caused directly or indirectly by human emissions of greenhouse gases. It also includes the economic and social changes which stem from living in a warmer world.
