Nose color is an inherited trait in dogs. Two puppies from the same set of parents have different color noses. One puppy has a pink nose and one puppy has a black nose. How can puppies from the same set of parents have different color noses? A.
The pink-nosed puppy and the black nosed puppy must not actually be related.

B.
The pink-nosed puppy and the black nosed puppy inherited different combinations of the genes for nose color from their parents.

C.
The pink-nosed puppy has a different number of chromosomes than the black nosed puppy.

D.
The pink nosed puppy and the black nosed puppy have different chromosomes for the two nose colors.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

1. a)c-14 has two more protons

2. d)they have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and valence electrons; they are all gases at room temperature.

3. c) iron and nickel.
