Answer:

Towards the right

Explanation:

The Coriolis force is usually defined as the force that acts on the global wind and ocean currents and allows them to move in a clockwise and anticlockwise manner, in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. This force occurs due to the rotation of the earth.

The strength of this Coriolis force gradually increases with the increasing latitudes and also increases with the gradually decreasing speed of the earth's rotation. So, the value of this force is observed to be highest at the poles and is absent at the equator.

Thus, in the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects the wind to the right side.

A template dna strand contains the sequence 3'-atgctgac-5'. the corresponding sequence in the rna transcript is:

V125BC [204]

The corresponding sequence in the RNA transcript is 5'-UACGACUG-3' . One of the differences between DNA and RNA is the fact that the RNA contains the base uracil instead of thyamine. The base pairing occurs between A and T, and G and C. DNA undergoes the process of transcription in the nucleus to generate RNA, which then undergoes translation (for mRNA) in the cytoplasm to yield proteins.

How are babies made?

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The genetic material in the sperm combines with the genetic material in the egg to create a new cell that starts dividing rapidly. You're not actually pregnant until that bundle of new cells, known as the embryo, travels the rest of the way down the fallopian tube and attaches itself to the wall of your uterus.
