according to evolution, if I get bit by a snake and develop snake superpowers will my offspring have them too?

1 answer:

5 0

Basically, Evolution is naturally occurring slow and steady process of changes in a special of an organism. So, even if a person develops snake superpowers it depende upon the other parents too, as the offspring is mix and match of both the DNAs of the parents. Logically its really unlikely. But chances are not zero if the parents has developed such powers.

Hope this helps :)

From an evolutionary perspective mitochondria and chloroplasts are the result of what process

fomenos

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the result of the process called endosymbiosis. Mitochondria and the chloroplasts are originally from the prokaryotes. They have the ability to take up inside a large single cell organism which they help each other in order to produce energy for each other. Endosymbiosis, from the term symbiosis, the organisms that are symbiotic is living inside the other pair, just like how the mitochondria and chloroplasts responds to each other.

How many water molecules are needed to degrade a protein that contains 250 amino acids?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

125 molecules

Explanation:

Between two amino acids , one water molecule is eliminated and a peptide bond is formed. When 250 amino acids are joined to form a polypeptide , 125 molecules of water will be removed.

That is, 250/2=125

Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places
