Preventing wind erosion in a dry, sandy area is feasible through any of the following land-use practices:

a. Tillage - creates soil roughness by making furrows and ridges that are perpendicular to the direction of the wind. 
b. Crop rotation - rotations of legumes followed by shrubs followed by trees then back to legumes work best.
c. Intercropping - is the most widely used particularly in countries with desert areas. One of the most popularly used is oasis agriculture that makes use of about 3 layers of vegetation.

Does the distribution of bases in sea urchin DNA and salmon DNA follow Chargaff’s rules? a) Yes, because the %A approximately eq
MArishka [77]

Answer:

A. Yes, because the %A approximately equals the %T and the %G approximately equals the %C in both species.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, in all cellular DNAs, the number of adenosine residues (A) is equal to the number of thymidine residues (T). And the number of guanosine residues (G) is equal to the number of cytidine residues (C). Therefore, the sum of the purine residues equals the sum of the pyrimidine residues (A+ G= C+ T). It is based on the fact that a purine base always pairs with a pyrimidine base in a double helix DNA.

Chargaff’s rule is followed in all the double-helical DNA molecules irrespective of the species. In DNAs of sea urchin and salmon, the percentage of adenine is equal to that of the thymine and the percentage of guanine is equal to that of the cytosine. Therefore, Chargaff's rule is followed.

Which mechanoreceptor is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving s
Eva8 [605]

The mechanoreceptor that is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving stretching of the skin is called Ruffini corpuscle.

Mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure. They are connected with sensory neurons that convert this mechanical pressure into electrical signal. It is of four types-

1. Merkel corpuscles- detect pressure and roughness on skin.

2. Ruffini corpuscles- detect deep tension in skin, skin stretch.

3. Meissner corpuscles- perception of light touch and slip on skin.

4. Pacinian corpuscles or Vater-panician corpuscles- detect rapid vibrations.

When these receptors sense a stimuli they gets excited and generates an impulse that travels through the nerve cells into the brain.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. hydronium ion.

Explanation:

Hydronium ion is a positively charged molecule that has three hydrogen atom bonded with an oxygen atom. Hydronium ion is formed when the water molecule gains an extra H+ ion from somewhere.  

This H+ ion easily form bonds with one of the lone pairs present on the water molecules. H2O is also a polar molecule and has a partially positive charge due to which the extra H+ ions get attracted to the negative pole of water and make hydronium ion. Therefore the correct answer is d.
