Explanation:

Polarity is defined as the formation of opposite charges on the atoms of a compound due to the difference in their electronegativities.

For example, in a HCl molecule chlorine is more electronegative in nature as compared to the hydrogen atom.

Hence, chlorine will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself. Due to this a partial positive charge will develop on hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge will develop on the chlorine atom.

Thus, we can conclude that polarity of bonds and molecules is determined by the difference in electronegativity of the atoms involved.

What does the process of gene duplication and divergence refer to? (select all that apply)?
Debora [2.8K]

It refers to making or crating new genes in form of mutation in duplicates of old genes. It is also a mechanism in major way through new genetic material is generated during evolution. The duplication happens in event termed unequal crossing over or recombination between misaligned homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Half would have the genotype Aa.

Explanation:

Given that the genotype of both of the parents was "Aa"; both parents would make two types of gametes. The 50% gametes from each parent would carry allele "A" while the rest 50% gametes from each parent would carry allele "a".

The random fusion of gametes of two parents would give the progeny with genotype ratio 1/4 AA: 1/2 Aa: 1/4 aa.

Explain how the data from the river samples showed that there was a problem with the water treatment plant.
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The water treatment plant does not work properly.

Explanation:

The data from the river samples showed that there was a problem with the water treatment plant because there is high amount of pollutants are present in the river sample. The presence of pollutants in the samples shows that the water treatment plant did not work properly, if they did no pollutants are present in the river water so this presence of pollutants indicates inefficiency of water treatment plant.

If a cell has made extra copies of itself but then they divide in half , the first copy gets DNA but the second doesn't. What el
posledela
Mitosis is the process of cell division that creates a new cell identical to the original. Somatic cells, such as muscles, hair and skin, undergo mitosis regularly in humans and other organisms. This is an important type of cell division needed to facilitate the repair of damaged cells, growth and replacement of old cells with new ones.
When a new cell is created, it must have the same library of genetic information all other cells in the body have access to. Because all the material in the new cell must come from the first cell, the original cell must make a copy of its DNA before completing the process of mitosis. These two sets of DNA only exist for as long as it takes the cell to undergo mitosis, which can be anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes in certain human cells. When the cell division is complete, both of the cells have a single identical copy of DNA.
