Answer:

The tectonic features and actions that result in seismic waves are: movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, explosions, volcanoes and landslides, etc.

Explanation:

Seismic waves occur when during an earthquake, the rocks beneath the Earth's surface breaks along the fault. This results in excessive release of energy which produces seismic waves these waves make the ground shake. When two plates were wiped each other, they attach little bit. They keep on pushing each other but are not able to move away smoothly.

A pressure is developed between them, as a result the rocks break and earthquake occurs. During and after the quake the plates keep on moving till the time they get stuck up again. The place where the 'rock breaks' are called 'the focus of an earthquake'. And the place immediately above 'the focus' is called the 'epicentre of the quake'. Seismic waves are can also be caused by underground explosions. These explosions occur while making tunnels for roadways, railways or during mining activities.

Answer:

a. conservative replication

b. semi conservative replication

c. dispersive replication

d. discontinuous replication

e. continuous replication

The CORRECT ANSWER IS C.

c. dispersive replication

Explanation:

The attached image shows a single band that becomes lighter (in volume) and increase in darker intensity (in times of color) is revealed with consecutive replications. The major pattern that would produce these outcome is dispersive replication.

Conservative replication do reveal two bands (a 14N for the wholly latest molecule, and a 15N for the totally antiquated molecule) after the initial replication. Therefore, this wholly wrong.

Semi-conservative replication reveal an individual band of transitional weight after the initial replication, followed by two bands following the second replication (one of transitional weight, and the other at the 14N position). These two bands is observed in each following replication, with the transitional weight becoming lighter in color as the 14N band is seen to appear darker in color.

The real pattern gives an individual band that pinpoints to all molecules in an individual replicative cycle possessing the same constituents.

Dispersive replication, has its molecules to be a blend of old (15N) and new (14N) strands. Each replication raises the ratio of new to old strands as it explains the reason an individual band is shown raised (lighter in weight) with every replication.

Where does cellular respiration take place?

VMariaS [17]

B. Mitochondria

The process of cellular respiration is essentially when oxygen and carbon transfuse themselves together to create carb on dioxide, which in turns creates energy.

The entire process is formed in the powerhouse of the cell, or in other words, the mitochondria.

A part of this question that may have been confusing is the answer, "lungs". Since respiration is correlated to the lungs, you may have been confused. However, this is a process that occurs within your cells, so on a small scale than your entire body.
