is the most common isotope of uranium found in nature. It is not fissile, but is afertile material: it can capture a slow neutron and after beta decay become fissile plutonium-239. U-238 is fissionable by fast neutrons, but cannot support a chain reaction because inelastic scattering reduces neutron energy below the range where fast fission is probable.

What are the reason for the low level of transformation during the experiment?

Some possible reasons for low transformation efficiency during an experiment could include low competency of the host cells, poor quality of plasmid DNA, improper handling of cells during transformation, and suboptimal growth conditions post-transformation. It's important to troubleshoot each step of the protocol to identify the specific cause of low transformation efficiency.


What are the differences between a congruent and incongruent phase transformation?

A congruent phase transformation occurs when a single phase changes into another single phase with the same composition. An incongruent phase transformation happens when a single phase changes into multiple phases with different compositions.


What is the element of the story malakas and maganda?

The story of Malakas and Maganda vary from region to region. But elements of the story remain the same: there is a bird that splits a giant bamboo, and Malakas and Maganda emerge from the halves. Many people have commented on how the story presents man and woman as equals, each coming from one half of the same bamboo.


Why is liquid nitrogen used in agrobacterium transformation?

Liquid nitrogen is used in agrobacterium transformation to create small, transient pores in plant cells through a process called cryoporation. These pores allow the agrobacterium to deliver DNA to the plant cell more efficiently, increasing the success rate of genetic transformation. Liquid nitrogen also helps in maintaining a low temperature environment, which is necessary for cell survival during the transformation process.
