Compare and contrast nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.

Biology
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.

Identify a probable reason that the dark moths survived while the light moths did not.
kirill [66]

Answer:

This question has little context, but I understand what you are trying to say.

The reason why dark moths survived while light moths weren't able to survive is due to the dark moths having conditions that allowed them to camouflage better than the light moths. An environmental condition that would allow this would be the dark moths and the light moths living in the same dark environment.

Restriction endonucleases are especially useful if they generate sticky ends. What makes an end sticky?
Mazyrski [523]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) single-stranded complementary tails

B) blunt ends

C) poly-A sequences

D) 5' cap

E) interference

Answer:

A) single stranded complementary tails

Explanation:

Restriction endonuclease is the enzyme which cuts the DNA sequence in the internal sequence.

The endonuclease enzyme can cut the DNA sequence in a way that it can form the cuts with the single-stranded overhangs called sticky ends and without overhangs called blunt ends.

The sticky ends are produced when the enzyme makes cut at the single strand and then makes the cut at between the same base at the nitrogenous base. This type of asymmetrical cut forms the single-stranded overhangs which can form the complementary base pairs easily.

Thus, Option-A is correct.
