Biology
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is B) is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

Explanation:

The atomic number, which is represented by the letter Z, refers to the number positively charged particles known as protons. This characteristic is key in chemistry and related areas because based on these features elements have different properties and are named. For example, an atom of nitrogen element always contains 7 protons, while one of the gold contains 79 protons. Moreover, this property is not related to the number of neutrons because atoms with the same atomic number might differ in the number of neutrons, which leads to isotopes of the same element.

In unicellular organisms, the process of mitosis serves as a method or form of asexual reproduction, as organisms that are unicellular and are typically prokaryotic undergo mitosis to essentially duplicate and make additional offspring that are genetically identical clones as that of the original parent cell. Mitosis in multicellular organisms serves to replace lost, specifically damaged tissue of the organism, it also is crucial for the growth and development of the organism, as it is this particular portion of the cell cycle, when cells after growing and having their DNA duplicated can they separate and produce more and more cells.
