The Brahman cattle have good resistance to high temperature, but its meat is poor and tough to eat. The English shorthorn cattle, on the other hand, have good meat, but poor resistance to high temperatures. Farmers formed the Santa Gertrudis cattle by breeding Brahmans with English shorthorns. This new type of cattle has good meat and resistance to high temperatures. Which of the following best describes the process used to produce the Santa Gertrudis cattle? A.
genetic engineering

B.
inbreeding

C.
natural selection

D.
selective breeding

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms

there are no statements provided but here is why:

sulfur belongs to group 16 because it can be found in nature whether it is in a free or combined state.

hope this
