Mechanical weathering involves physically breaking rocks into fragments without changing the chemical make-up of the minerals within it. It's important to keep in mind that weathering is a surface or near-surface process. ... We call it erosion if the rock particle is moved by some flowing agent such as air, water or ice.


Weathering and erosion are geological processes that act together to shape the surface of the Earth. Erosion is displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) usually by the agents of currents such as, wind, water, or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Afecta a la estructura primaria de las proteínas.

Explanation:

Las proteínas tienen 4 niveles de estructura:

  1. Estructura primaria: es la secuencia de aminoácidos que forman la cadena peptídica de la proteína.
  2. Estructura secundaria: es el plegamiento de la cadena por unión con aminoácidos de la misma cadena dándole a la proteína la forma de alfa hélice o de lámina plegada.
  3. Estructura terciaria: la estructura secundaria de la proteína se pliega dando a la proteína una estructura globular, la cual hace a la proteína soluble, o fibrilar, la cual hace a la proteína insoluble.
  4. Estructura cuaternaria: dos o más proteínas con estructura terciaria se unen.

Si la xerodermia afecta la secuencia de aminoácidos, afecta la estructura primaria de la proteína ya que esta es el orden en que los aminoácidos se juntan para formar la cadena peptídica.

Read the passage: Genetically Engineered Corn. Then 1. Explain what Bt corn is and how it is made. 2. Describe the benefits of B
NeX [460]

1. Bt maize is a genetically modified maize. It is produced through biochemical techniques and with the use of biotechnology that allows genes of Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria to be introduced in the DNA of corn. These genes allow Bt maize plants to produce a toxic protein specific to certain groups of insects.

2. With the production of this protein, Bt corn becomes immune to attack by these insects. As a result, the use of pesticides in the corn crop is reduced, which makes production healthier and avoids side effects on the soil. In addition, it prevents the production of corn from falling due to the attack of insects.

3. Among the disadvantages, we can say that Bt maize does not control all the pests that attack maize, only a few, which allows maize to be attacked. It can also trigger evolution in pest species that are immune, creating a toxin-resistant species. Finally, it can create contamination in wild maize crops (that is, those that have not been genetically modified), ending diversity.

4. I believe that the use of Bt corn is favorable. This is because it allows a greater production of food to meet our need and increasingly intense demand for food. However, it is necessary to affirm that the use of this corn needs regulation and inspection, mainly in the big industries that can harm the small producer.

Why do replication and transcription only occur in the nucleus?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Replication is the process of formation of daughter DNA molecules by DNA polymerase enzyme using the existing DNA strands as a template. Since DNA and the enzymatic machinery for replication and transcription are present in the nucleus, the processes of replication and transcription occur in the nucleus only. Transcription is the process by which the DNA molecule makes an RNA molecule using enzyme RNA polymerase and other proteins. The mRNA is then used to generate proteins by a process called translation which occurs in the cytoplasm. Transcription occurs in the nucleus because DNA cannot leave the nucleus.
