Answer:
B) The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products,
Explanation:
Given that the reaction is balanced, the mass of the reactants must equal to the mass of the products.
We know this by virtue of the law of conservation of mass.
The law of conservation of mass states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but atoms are rearranged".
Therefore, if the reaction is chemically balanced, the mass of reactants must be the same as the mass of the products in the reaction.
The second choice is the right one.
Answer: Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.
Explanation:
<span>If each of the pairs of
chromosomes was heterozygous (what gives you the highest potential
number of different gametes), then the number of possible gametes
increases from 4 to 8 for a diploid organism. To figure out how many
are possible, raise the number of homologous chromsomes (2 for a diploid
organism) to the power of the number of chromosomes. So if you have
two different chromosomes (A and B), raise 2 to the 2nd power (or
multiply 2 x 2) and you have 4. If you have chromosomes A, B, and C,
then you have 2^3, or 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
To show possible combinations, AaBb gives you AB, Ab, aB, or ab. AaBbCc
gives possible gametes of ABC, ABc, AbC, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, and abc. </span>
Anything that is considered alive must exhibit ALL 7 characteristics of life. A virus may show some characteristics, but it does not show all, so therefore, its not alive.
