<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.
Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome

The overhang beam is subjected to the uniform distributed load having an intensity of w = 50 kn/m. determine the maximum shear s
alex41 [277]
Given:

Uniform distributed load with an intensity of W = 50 kN / m on an overhang beam.

We need to determine the maximum shear stress developed in the beam:

τ = F/A

Assuming the area of the beam is 100 m^2 with a length of 10 m.

τ = F/A
τ = W/l
τ = 50kN/m / 10 m
τ = 5kN/m^2
τ = 5000 N/ m^2<span />
