Give an example of a mutation and explain how it could affect an organism? Your answer

Chemistry
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A mutation is a heritable change in the genetic material of an individual. The change can be large or small. Large changes involve the loss, addition, duplication, or rearrangement of whole chromosomes or chromosome segments. Mutations can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.

A compound is 52.14% C, 13.13% H, and 34.73% O. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
alina1380 [7]
% H = 100 - ( 52.14 + 34.73 )=13.13 % 

<span>assume 100 g of this compound </span>
<span>mass H = 13.13 g </span>
<span>moles H = 13.13 g / 1.008 g/mol=13 </span>

<span>mass C = 52.14 g </span>
<span>moles C = 52.14 g/ / 12.011 g/mol=4 </span>

<span>mass O = 34.73 g </span>
<span>moles O = 34.73 g/ 15.999 g/mol=2 </span>

<span>the empirical formula is C4H13O2</span>

As a pilot is flying in level flight at 9,500 ft, the altimeter in the instrument panel is set to a pressure of 29.48 mm of Hg.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

from the ideal gas law, P2 /P1 = T2 /T1 for the same volume and quantity of gas. P2 = (758 mmHg) (45 +273 K) / (15 +273K) = 837 mmHg.

Indicate which reaction will occur faster. explain your reasoning. select the single best answer. solvolysis of 1−chloro−2,2−dim
Radda [10]
The tert-butyl chloride in ethanol would surely react faster than the solvolysis of 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane. It is known that both reactions are under the SN2 category so it would be hard for these reactions to occur. However, SN1 reactions are possible because of the ethanol which is a polar solvent. Both would form carbocations but tert-butyl chloride forms a more stable carbocation while the 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane forms a primary carbocation only.

We gave an object with a density of 620 g/cm^3 and a volume of 75cm^3. What is the mass of this object?
Hitman42 [59]
d=\frac{m}{V} \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ m=dV\\\\&#10;d=620\frac{g}{cm^{3}}\\&#10;V=75cm^{3}\\\\\&#10;m=620\frac{g}{cm^{3}}*75cm^{3}=46500g

Can someone please explain this to me? I need help ​
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The order would be: X-Rays, Visible Light, and Infrared Waves.

X-Rays have the shortest wavelength out of all three, then Visible Light, and Infrared Waves have the longest wavelength of the three.

Explanation:

So basically, the LONGER the wavelength, the lower the energy. and the SHORTER the wavelength, the higher the energy. For example, Radio waves are the WEAKEST out of all the types of waves because they have the LONGEST wavelengths. Gamma Rays are the STRONGEST out of all the types of waves because they have the SHORTEST wavelengths. So Radio Waves have the lowest energy, and Gamma Rays have the highest energy.

Here is a list of all the types of waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelengths:

Gamma Rays (Shortest Wavelengths, High Energy), then X-Rays would be the second strongest, then Ultraviolet waves, then Visible Light, then Infrared waves, then Microwaves, and lastly Radio Waves (Longest Wavelengths, Low Energy).
