Explain the purpose and function of a gene.

Answers

Answer 1

Function

Genes decide almost everything about a living being. One or more genes can affect a specific trait. Genes may interact with an individual’s environment too and change what the gene makes.

Genes affect hundreds of internal and external factors, such as whether a person will get a particular color of eyes or what diseases they may develop.

Some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia and Huntington’s disease, are inherited, and these are also affected by genes.

Purpose

The purpose of genes is to store information.

Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.

Hope this helps !!

beryllium reacts with oxygen

Answers

Explanation:

On the whole, the metals burn in oxygen to form a simple metal oxide. Beryllium is reluctant to burn unless it is in the form of dust or powder. Beryllium has a very strong (but very thin) layer of beryllium oxide on its surface, and this prevents any new oxygen getting at the underlying beryllium to react with it

Explanation:

A hypothesis is an intelligent guess put forward to explain an experimental observation. It is a tentative explanation for a scientific observation which must be subjected to careful verification.

Giselle’s assumption that the gas evolved is oxygen is a hypothesis. It must now be tested carefully in order to verify if the hypothesis is true.

Table Salt or NaCl is composed of sodium and chlorine. While the individual elements of sodium and chlorine are very reactive, together they form a popular cooking and baking ingredient. In order to form a salt, an electron must be transferred from one element to the other. Which element (Na or Cl) is more likely to steal an outer electron from the other? Why?

Answers

Answer:

Chlorine is more likely to steal a valence electron from sodium.

Explanation:

Sodium is number 11 on the periodic table with one valence electron. Belonging to the first group, it's one of the alkali metal, which are known to be highly reactive. Chlorine is number 17 with seven valence electrons, and it's in the second-to-last group of halogens--also very reactive.

Considering that elements with one valence electron are just about 100% likely to give up electrons to reach a stable state, sodium would be the element that is more likely to lose its valence electron to chlorine. In other words, chlorine would be the electron thief.

toms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group. How does this help explain the difference in the reactivity of metals within a group?

Answers

Answer:

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group. ... The valence electrons of the larger atoms are farther from the nucleus and are easier to remove, so the metals near the bottom are more reactive than those at the top.

Explanation:

what is amphoteric oxide please also give eg​

Answers

Answer:

An amphoteric oxide is an oxide that can act as either an acid or base in a reaction to produce a salt and water. Amphoterism depends on the oxidation states available to a chemical species. Because metals have multiple oxidation states, they form amphoteric oxides and hydroxides.Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. Amphoterism depends on the oxidation states of the oxide. Al2O3 is an example of an amphoteric oxide. Amphoteric oxides also include Lead (II) oxide, and zinc (II) oxide, among many others.[2]

Explanation:

hope this will help you

Answer:

Amphoteric oxides react with both acids and alkalis to form salt and water. Examples of amphoteric oxides are zinc oxide and aluminium oxide.

Answers

Answer:

E = 2.85×10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of light = 700 nm

Frequency of light = 4.3×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

What is the energy of light = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = h × f

h = plancks constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

by putting values,

E =  6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js × 4.3×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

E = 28.5×10⁻²⁰ J

E = 2.85×10⁻¹⁹ J

Answers

A. The reaction would remain in equilibrium

Further explanation

Given

Reaction

H₂ + I₂ ⇔ 2HI

Required

the effect of pressure changes

Solution

In the equilibrium system :

Reaction = - action  

⇒shift the reaction to the right or left.  

The pressure usually affects the gas equilibrium system(only count the number of moles of gases)

The addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient  ((the fewest moles of gas  )

Reaction

H₂ + I₂ ⇔ 2HI

The reactant side of the equation has 2 moles of a gas(1 mole H₂ and 1 mole  I₂) ; the product side has 2 moles HI

So the total number of moles from both sides is the same(2 moles) so that the change in volume (pressure) does not change the direction of equilibrium⇒No shift will occur

Answer:

A. The reaction would remain in equilibrium

Answer:

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.Example- Snowflakes, diamonds, and table salt.

Answer:

Examples of everyday materials you encounter as crystals are table salt (sodium chloride or halite crystals), sugar (sucrose), and snowflakes. Many gemstones are crystals, including quartz and diamond. There are also many materials that resemble crystals but are actually polycrystals

Explanation:

How many grams are in 1.76 x 10^23 atoms of iodine

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf About \ 37.1 \ grams \ of \ iodine }}[/tex]

Explanation:

To convert from atoms to grams, you must first convert atoms to moles, then moles to grams.

1. Convert Atoms to Moles

To convert atoms to grams, Avogadro's number must be used.

[tex]6.022*10^{23}[/tex]

This number tells us the number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) in 1 mole. In this case, the particles are atoms of iodine.

[tex]\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ I }{1 \ mol \ I}[/tex]

Multiply the given number of atoms by Avogadro's number.

[tex]1.76*10^{23} \ atoms \ I*\frac{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ I }{1 \ mol \ I}[/tex]

Flip the fraction so the atoms of iodine will cancel out.

[tex]1.76*10^{23} \ atoms \ I*\frac{ 1 \ mol \ I}{6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ I}[/tex]

[tex]1.76*10^{23}* \frac{1 \ mol \ I}{6.022*10^{23} }[/tex]

Multiply so the problem condenses into 1 fraction.

[tex]\frac{1.76*10^{23} \ mol \ I}{6.022*10^{23} }[/tex]

[tex]0.2922617071 \ mol \ I[/tex]

2. Convert Moles to Grams

Now we must use the molar mass of iodine, which is found on the Periodic Table.

Iodine Molar Mass: 126.9045 g/mol

Use this mass as a fraction.

[tex]\frac{ 126.9045 \ g\ I }{ 1 \ mol \ I}[/tex]

Multiply this fraction by the number of moles found above.

[tex]0.2922617071 \ mol \ I*\frac{ 126.9045 \ g\ I }{ 1 \ mol \ I}[/tex]

Multiply. The moles of iodine will cancel.

[tex]0.2922617071 *\frac{ 126.9045 \ g\ I }{ 1 }[/tex]

The 1 as a denominator is insignificant.

[tex]0.2922617071 *{ 126.9045 \ g\ I }[/tex]

[tex]37.08932581 \ g \ I[/tex]

3. Round

The original measurement of 1.76*10^23 has 3 significant figures (1, 7, and 6). Therefore we must round our answer to 3 sig figs. For this answer, that is the tenths place.

[tex]37.08932581 \ g \ I[/tex]

The 8 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 0 up to a 1.

[tex]\approx 37.1\ g \ I[/tex]

There is about 37.1 grams of iodine in 1.76*10^23 atoms.
