Geologists can 'read' rock layers using relative and absolute dating techniques. ... Relative dating arranges geological events, and the rocks they leave behind, in a sequence. The method of reading the order is called stratigraphy (the rock layers are called strata).
Potential energy=PE
PE=mgh
m=mass in kilograms.
g=9.8 m/s
h=height in meters
Data:
mass=500 Kg
h=110 m
PE=(500 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(110 m)=539000 joules
<span>This fact pattern best fits the idea of the Gradualism Model. This particular model focuses on how species slowly grow and change through evolution over time. Essentially, the model is that species will very slowly change into another type of species as time passes.</span>
Answer:
- New seedlings: histone acetylation
- After cold exposure: histone methylation
Explanation:
Vernalization is an adaptive mechanism whose objective is to ensure that flowering occurs only after winter (i.e., after cold conditions). In certain plants, this process (vernalization) suppresses the expression of genes that encode repressors of flowering. In <em>Arabidopsis</em>, vernalization is associated with histone modifications at <em>FLC</em> chromatin. The <em>FLOWERING LOCUS C </em>(<em>FLC</em>) is a MADS-box gene that acts as a repressor of flowering in <em>Arabidopsis</em>. Epigenetic modifications control the expression of the <em>FLC</em> gene. The <em>FLC</em> gene is expressed at low temperatures due to histone acetylation at <em>FLC</em> chromatin, and thereby the expression of <em>FLC</em> mRNA transcripts ensures that the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant cannot flower. Subsequently, as the <em>Arabidopsis</em> plant is exposed to cold, <em>FLC</em> is repressed by the accumulation of trimethylation on lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27me3), thereby allowing it to flower when temperatures become warmer.
