Answer:
D) 
Explanation:
Carbon.
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
But in methane, 
it forms 4 bonds. So, 1 electron each from 2s orbital jumps to the next orbital in the p subshell.
Thus, the configuration is:-
Thus, the valence electron configuration is:-
The hydrophobic effect is caused by nonpolar molecules clumping together. Large macromolecules can have hydrophobic sections, which will fold the molecule so they can be close to each other, away from water. Many amino acids in proteins are hydrophobic, helping the proteins obtain their complicated shapes. The hydrophobic effect extends to organisms, as many hydrophobic molecules on the surface of an organisms help them regulate the amount of water and nutrients in their systems.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to Neils Bohr, atoms contain electrons which are arranged in energy levels. The energy levels proceed from the lowest to the highest. When energy is supplied to an atom,it moves from lower to higher energy levels. The higher energy level is known as the excited state. Excited states are short lived and atoms quickly return to ground state with emission of the absorbed energy in the form of visible light. This visible light must have one of the seven colours observed in the visible spectrum; Red, orange, yellow, indigo, blue, green, violet. Energy required for this excitation is supplied by heating the substance in a flame.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A) anaphase
B) prophase
C) telophase
D) metaphase
E) interphase
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-D
Explanation:
Colchicine is a drug obtained from the <em>Colchicum autumnale</em> which is a poisonous European flowering plant. The drug is used to treat joint swelling and gout.
Colchicine shows its effect during the cell division cycle especially during the division of nuclear content. When the cell is in metaphase and is preparing for the anaphase, the colchicine inhibits the polymerisation of the microtubules. The inhibition of microtubules inhibits the assembly of the mitotic spindle as a result of this the DNA do not move into new daughter cells.
Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
