Answer: Hiya!

The definition of erosion is "the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents."

Explanation:

Erosion is a process where natural forces like water, wind, ice, and gravity transport rocks and soil.

Hopefully this helps you

The map of a walking trail is drawn on a coordinate grid with three points of interest. The trail starts at R(−2, 4) and goes to

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The total length will be "10 units". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given points are:

R(−2, 4)

S(3, 4)

T(3, −1)

On applying the distance formula,

⇒ $RS=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(4-4)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(0)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{25}$

⇒ $=5 \ units$

and,

⇒ $ST=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{(3-3)^2+(-1-4)^2}$

⇒ $=\sqrt{0+(-5)^2}$

⇒ $=5 \ units$

Now,

The total trail length will be:

= $RS+ST$

= $5+5$

= $10 \ units$

Cell at metaphase of mitosis contains 20 sister chromatids, how many chromosomes will be present in a g1 cell? if a cell at meta

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 10.

The cell cycle can be divided into four phases namely gap 1 (G₁) phase , synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G₂) phase, and mitosis (M) phase.

DNA (deoxyribonuceic acid) content is only replicated and doubled in the S phase. However, the chromosome number remains the same. It can be explained as the number of chromosomes remains the same (2n) but number of chromatids doubles (4n) after S phase.

The number of chromatids restores to 2n in daughter cells after completion of mitosis.

Hence, if number of chromatids in metaphase was 20 i.e. 4n then the number of chromosomes (2n) would be 10.

Hence, 10 chromosomes or 5 pairs of chromosome would be present in the cell during its G₁ phase.

Carbon capture and sequestration

While it's not a power generation technology, carbon capture and sequestration—technologies that allow for the scrubbing of carbon from power plants for storage in underground reservoirs—may finally be coming of age after years of trial and error.

Technology pilot demonstrations at coal-based power plants in places like Australia and the U.S. have sparked new interest in the technology.

The hope is, it could become an enabler for other technologies, such as biomass or algae-based biofuels that produce carbon emissions. That's because organic fuels pull carbon from the atmosphere before converting it to fuel.
