The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

1. Mary and her siblings share similar hair color. Which of these cell components are most involved in determining the hair color of each sibling?

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts,Genes

Vacuoles, Nucleus, Chromosomes

Chromosomes, Chloroplasts, Vacuoles

Answer:

Gene, Chromosome, Nucleus

Explanation:

Gene is defined in biology as "a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring" (Oxford Dictionary).

The gene is located in the chromosomes in the nucleus of cells. The sum total of the genes that an organism inherits from its parents is called the organisms' genotype and determines certain features of the organism.

The hair colour of Mary and each of her siblings depends on the genes they received from their parents.

A gas is collected at 20.0 °C and 725.0 mm Hg. When the temperature is
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

676mmHg

Explanation:

Using the formula;

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)

P2 = final pressure (mmHg)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P1 = 725.0mmHg

P2 = ?

T1 = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293K

T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

725/293 = P2/273

Cross multiply

725 × 273 = 293 × P2

197925 = 293P2

P2 = 197925 ÷ 293

P2 = 676mmHg.

The resulting pressure is 676mmHg

If 38.5 grams of potassium react with excess oxygen gas, how many grams of potassium oxide can be produced? 4K + O2 yields 2K2O
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

46.40 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
  • It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
  • We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>

n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.

0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.

∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.

  • Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.

Draw a mechanism for this reaction. 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms 2-oxanone in the presence of acid. draw all missing reactants
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: -

The first step involves protonation of the carbonyl oxygen.

After protonation, the Alcohol oxygen now attacks the carbon of the carbonyl.

Thus a six membered ring is formed with 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The 1st position carbon atom has 2 OH groups.

One of these gets again protonated.

This leaves as water. With the loss of the H+, there results a carbonyl at 1 position.

Thus 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms a lactone or 2-oxanone in presence of acid.
