<span>DIAPHRAGM. Actually the diaphragm is strongly attached to the base of sternum, then spine and also the ribcage at lower parts, So when diaphragm contracts, the length gets increases and also the diameter of chest, which expands the lungs, where the intercostal muscles controls and helps to move the ribcage and support in breathing, hence controls the size of the chest cavity.</span>

Clue 1:

Answer:

The two problems that the transfer of information from DNA to protein must overcome are:

  • How to bring the information from the nuclear DNA to the place of protein synthesis?
  • How to convert this DNA information into amino acids and then into proteins?

Explanation:

The genetic information is found in the DNA and depends on a specific sequence of nitrogenous bases. This information is transcribed into the messenger RNA, whose base sequence is organized into triplets and codons, each of which encodes an amino acid, as well as establishing the pattern for starting and stopping the synthesis of a protein.

<h3>How to bring the information from the nuclear DNA to the place of protein synthesis? </h3>

The DNA must be transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), a process that occurs in the nucleus of the cell. mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm, where amino acid synthesis will take place.

<h3>How to convert this DNA information into amino acids and then into proteins?</h3>

Once in the cytoplasm mRNA binds to ribosomes, structures in charge of translating the sequence of nitrogenous bases RNA to synthesize amino acids. The set of ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum are in charge of the assembly of amino acids to produce peptides and proteins.

Explain How rock composition affects the rate of weathering
Anarel [89]

One of the factors that affects the rate of weathering is exposure to the atmosphere. ... Another factor that affects the rate of weathering is the composition of rock. Rocks are composed of minerals, which are solid substances found within rocks that have their own distinct chemical composition.

Which of the following scenarios is representative of how agricultural practices can affect the environment?
Citrus2011 [14]
<span>The correct answer to the question, 'which of the following scenarios is representative of how agricultural practice can affect the environment' is A. Option A is chosen because it is the only option that refer to another environment which is different from that of the farm. When fertilizers are washed to nearby ponds as a result of erosion, it causes a lot of negative changes in the pond. For instance, the chemicals in the fertilizer can be poisonous to some of the smaller organisms in the pond, this will result in the death of these organisms. Fertilizer run off can also cause excessive growth of plants such as algae in the pond. This may block out the light necessary for the survival of the organisms in the ponds and may also reduce the amount of oxygen available to the organisms living in the pond.</span>

A star is not considered born until the process of nuclear fusion
jonny [76]
Star is a brilliantly glowing sphere of hot gas whose energyis produced by an internalnuclear fusion process. Stars are contained in galaxies. A galaxy contains not only stars, but clouds of gas and dust. These clouds are callednebulae, and it is in a nebula where stars are born. In the nebula is hydrogen gas which is pulled together by gravityand starts to spin faster. Over millions of years, more hydrogen gas is pulled into the spinning cloud. The collisions which occur between the hydrogen atoms starts to heat the gas in the cloud. Once the temperature reaches 15,000,000 degrees Celsius, nuclear fusion takes place in the center, or core, of the cloud. The tremendous heat given off by the nuclear fusion process causes the gas to glow creating a protostar. This is the first step in the evolution of a star. The glowing protostar continues to accumulate mass. The amount of mass it can accumulate is determined by the amount ofmatter available in the nebula. Once its mass is stabilized, the star is known as a main sequence star. The new star will continue to glow for millions or even billions of years. As it glows, hydrogen is converted into helium in the core by nuclear fusion. The core starts to become unstable and it starts to contract. The outer shell of the star, which is still mostly hydrogen, starts to expand. As it expands, it cools and starts to glow red. The star has now reached the red giant phase. It is red because it is cooler than the protostar phase and it is a giant because the outer shell has expanded outward. All stars evolve the same way up to the red giant phase. The amount of mass a star has determines which of the following life cycle paths the star will take.
