What else can I help you with?
If a cell contains a nucleus it must be a prokaryote?
This statement is incorrect. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus. They have their genetic material located in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid. Cells with a nucleus are eukaryotic.
What must happen to the DNA before transcription can take place?
Before transcription can take place, the DNA in the cell nucleus must be unwound and separated into two strands by enzymes. This process exposes the genetic information that will be transcribed into mRNA.
What is a characteristic of a radioactive nucleus?
A characteristic of a radioactive nucleus is that it undergoes spontaneous decay, emitting radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays in order to achieve a more stable configuration.
In a cell information that controls the production of proteins must pass from the nucleus to the?
The information that controls the production of proteins must pass from the nucleus into the cytoplasm in the form of mRNA. mRNA is a template copy of the DNA inside the nucleus and is read by ribosomes in the cytoplasm to produce proteins.
What word means pertaining to one nucleus?
Well obviously in any one atom or cell there can only be ONE nucleus. However, the plural of "nucleus" is "nuclei", as in "the nuclei of the cells visible under the microscope were all stained blue and the nucleus of one cell stood out from the rest".
What make a nucleus a stable?
A nucleus is stable if the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces balance out.
What must happen for a noble gas such as krypton to become stable?
Nothing. Krypton is already just about as stable as it's possible for an element to get.
What would happen to the atom if there were no electrons?
there wont be any negative charges to balance the positive nucleus, hence atoms wont be stable
Does an atom become most stable when trying to fill its nucleus?
It becomes most stable when its nucleus is filled, not when it is filling it.
What is the process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus?
The process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus is called electron capture. In this process, an electron is absorbed by a proton in the nucleus, converting the proton into a neutron and releasing a neutrino. This results in a more stable arrangement of particles in the nucleus.
What would happen if binding energy of a nucleus was zero?
If the binding energy of a nucleus was zero, the nucleus would not be stable and would disintegrate. The nucleus relies on the binding energy to hold its protons and neutrons together. Without this binding energy, the nucleus would break apart into individual protons and neutrons.
How is a stable nucleus different to an unstable nucleus?
A stable nucleus is one which will not decay, whereas an unstable nucleus will decay at some point, which cannot be predicted as decay is a random process, by alpha or beta decay.
How can you predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable?
You can predict whether an isotope nucleus is likely to be stable by considering the ratio of protons to neutrons in the nucleus. Nuclei with a more balanced ratio of protons to neutrons tend to be more stable. Additionally, nuclei with magic numbers of protons or neutrons are also more likely to be stable.
If an atom has two protons would it be stable?
The atoms having 2 protons only in nucleus is not stable but 2 protons with 2 neutron in Helium nucleus are very stable.
What would happen to the Nucleus without neutrons?
Without neutrons, the nucleus would lack stability as neutrons help bind protons together through the strong nuclear force. As a result, the nucleus would likely be unstable and prone to decay, potentially leading to the emission of particles or radiation in order to achieve a more stable configuration.
Why dont radioactive elements have a stable nucleus?
By definition. If it were stable, then it would not be radioactive.
How uranium nucleus become stable?
Being radioactive, uranium is not a stable element.
