What is the chemical make up elements of the sun?
hydrogen mainly, but there undergo fission to form helium (which undergo fission as the star approaches supernova producing the heavy elements like carbon)
An animals that undergo binary fission?
What kind of animals undergo binary fission
Animals that undergo binary fission?
What kind of animals undergo binary fission
Is true about nuclear fission?
Any nuclei of elements greater than one proton, ie; hydrogen, can undergo fission depending on the amount of energy available.
Fusion is to fuse as fission is to what?
There is no exact analog. Fissure would be the most strictly correct, but typically use of the word "undergo" is preferred.Examples:Heavy elements more easily undergo fission.Heavy elements more easily fissure.Fusions however works as well both ways.Lighter elements more easily undergo fusion.Lighter elements more easily fuse.
What organisms undergo fission?
An organism that can undergo binary fission would be a plan ol prokaryotic cell or a protozoan if you want something specific.
Can bacteria undergo binary fission?
Yes it can.
What do you understand by the term radioactive?
It refers to elements that undergo nuclear fission and, in the process, emit atomic particles (alpha and beta particles) and energy (gamma rays).
Why prokaryotic cells do not undergo proper mitosis?
because the undergo binary fission, as they have no cell membrane bounded structures or nucleus.
What type of cells does binary fission occur in?
An organism that can undergo binary fission would be a plan ol prokaryotic cell or a protozoan if you want something specific.
Cell division in prokaryotes is best characterized as?
a replication of the DNA strand followed by cell elongation and division.
What is a fission fragment?
A fission fragment is a term we apply to the "pieces" of an atomic nucleus that appear when a heavy radionuclide fissions. We'd better look a bit more closely to see what's up. We know that at the extreme upper end of the periodic table appear some really heavy elements. We also know that these heavy elements, regardless of which isotope, are all unstable. That means they will eventually decay by some method. One of the decay schemes that a few radionuclides undergo is called spontaneous fission. Spontaneous fission (which is covered in a separate question) is the natural "splitting" of an atomic nucleus approximately in two. This fission will result in the appearance of two ligher nuclei (along with one or more neutrons). It is the two atomic nuclei that appear as a result of the fission process that we call fission fragments.
