Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule. why? select all that apply.

Nostrana [21]2 years ago

The cyclopropane molecule is highly strained due to <u>the presence of bond angle 60</u>. Another reason that makes it highly strained is the <u>torsional strain</u> that leads to the formation of eclipsed conformation of the hydrogen bond.

 

Further explanation:

Cyclopropane is an explosive, colourless gas that is used for medicinal purpose. It is a non-irritating to the <u>mucous membranes and also affects respiration</u>. It is highly strained molecule as the confirmation of cycloalkanes is stimulated by torsional angle, angle strain as well as steric edge.

Cycloalkanes are <u>composed of more than three carbon atoms</u> that are not flat molecule and they are puckered.

The three as well as four-membered ring compound consists of angle strain and also minimise the internal bond angles. Angle strain is formed due to the deviation of bond angles from an <u>optimum tetrahedral angle such as 109.5ᴼ</u>. Torsional stress is formed due to the eclipsing interactions while a steric strain is formed when the carbon atoms are forced towards each other.

Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule because the conformations of the cycloalkanes are influenced by the torsional, angle strain, and steric strain. Cycloalkanes, which comprises more than three atoms of carbons are not flat molecules, they are puckered.  

The three and four-membered ring components exhibit angle strain and minimize the internal bond angles. The angle strain is generated when the bond angles deviate from the optimum tetrahedral angle, that is, 109.5 degree.  

Torsional strain is a resultant of eclipsing interactions, and steric strain is attained when the atoms are forced too close to each other.

Black coat color in horses is conferred by the presence of a dominant B allele. Chestnut horses are genotype bb. A population of
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Explanation:

If p represents the frequency of dominant allele and q represents the frequency of  recessive allele, according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Given that number of recessive chestnut horse = 28

Total horses = 226 + 28 = 254

frequency of b² genotype = 28/254 = 0.1102

frequency of recessive b allele = √0.1102 = 0.3319

So, frequency of B allele =

1 - 0.3319 = 0.6681

Hence frequency of B allele is 0.6681

The energy source for sperm to swim comes from
Rama09 [41]
The energy source of the sperm for them to swim is the protein breakdown by mitochondria in the midpiece of the sperm.

Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles found in the cells. It is said to be the "powerhouse of the cell". They provide ATP as a source of chemical energy for the cells.

Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The bright color of butterflies is a discouraging factor for its prey

Explanation:

Butterflies and caterpillars are easily visible to its prey but still they do not eat any of them. This can be because of two factors –

a) The bright color of these organisms might be a factor that makes them uninteresting (intending to be  tasteless etc.) for their prey

b) The bright color might be a signal to the bird indicating in advance of any harm associated with the butterflies/caterpillar feeding.

Hence , instead the Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds, the  birds rarely eat the monarchs
