The particle that decomposes to produce beta radiation is NEUTRON.

The neutron decays (udd) into a proton (uud), an electron and an anti-neutrino. This process is known as neutron beta decay and here is how it happens.

The neutron that has a charge of zero is made up of up and two down quarks. One of the down quarks is transformed into an up quark. Since the down quark has a -1/3 charge and the up quarks has a positive charge of 2/3, it immediately follows that this process is mediated by a virtual W particle which carries away a negative charge. The new up quark rebounds away from the emitted W-. Then comes the formation of a proton. An electron and antineutrino them emerge from the virtual W-boson. The proton, electron, and antineutrino will finally move away from one another,

You would like to induce a transversion mutation into a sequence of dna. Which type of chemical mutagen would give you the best
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The type of chemical mutagen to choose depends on the intended effect. In this case, the best ones are acridines and nitrous acid.

Explanation:

Brenner et al. proposed that acridines induce mutations by causing deletions or additions of single base pairs during replication. Acridines bind to DNA by intercalation between adjacent base pairs. Acridines inactivate extracellular phage  by photodynamic action but the necessary conditions for this killing

are avoided in the procedure for acridine-induced mutation of reproducing phage. The lack of reported acridine-induced mutation in organisms other than phage raises some questions as to the generality of its

mutagenesis, thus making it a good type of compounds to induce specific mutations.

In the other hand,  nitrous acid deaminates the amino bases adenine, cytosine  (and hydroxymethylcytosine) , and guanine in nucleic acids.

Analysis of the effect of differences of pH during nitrous acid treatment  

of phage DNA showed that the rate of killing was affected similarly to

the rate of guanine deamination, and that the rates of induced r mutation was affected similarly to the rates of adenine and hydroxymethylcytosine deamination. Ascribing the induced mutations to deamination of adenine and cytosine is reasonable in terms of the hydrogen  bonding of their products and the Watson-Crick base pairing schemes. Since this inorganic acid is molecule-specific, it would also be used to induce certain mutations in bacteria without causing transition mutations.

Secondary bile salts lack a hydroxyl (OH) group when compared to primary bile salts. What is the consequence of the loss of this
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

When secondary bile salts (or acids) lack a OH, they are reabsorbed

Explanation:

The lost of a hydroxyl group (OH) in the bile salts structure means less hydro solubility. Thus, they are not eliminated, conversely, the are reabsorbed for intestine and they go back to the liver.

A compound is a substance composed of 2 or more chemical elements.
The model does not represent a compound because it shows two atoms of the same element combined. To be a compound the model would need to contain atoms of different element, represented by different colored balls. Therefore, the picture does not represent a compound. :)
