Charles Lyell developed the concept that geological processes progress at uniform, or constant, rates throughout history. Most g

eologists of his time thought sudden, major catastrophes were the cause of the geologic formations they studied. Which of the following pieces of evidence was most likely to have influenced Lyell to break away from this school of catastrophism and develop a different school of thought? Events such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen relatively frequently and regularly. The same types of geologic formations are found in the same types of places all over the earth. A canyon can be cut by the flow of a river if it flows in one path for a long enough time. A cut through a hillside shows layers of rock piled on top of each other.

Answer: option (A)

Explanation: The renown geologist Charles Lyell has a huge contribution in the field of geology, who brought into the concept of "Uniformitarianism" which depicts that the earth undergoes the same geological processes at a constant rate that means the processes that has taken place in the past will undergo now and in future too.

Due to this on-going tectonic activities, the earth experiences earthquakes and volcanic eruptions at different places at different time.

Hence, the correct option here is (A)

What is the complementary RNA sequence for the DNA sequence ATA<br> CGC TAA*
Darina [25.2K]
Complementary RNA (cRNA) is a copy of a strand of RNA that will bind to the appropriate region of the original molecule. If the original RNA stand had a base sequence of AUU, for example, the sequence of the cRNA strand would be UAA.

CATCGAG

Explanation:

Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:

1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes

2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments

3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment

4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines

5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends

During an oceanic plate convergence, the plate, will sink
diamong [38]

Answer:

Actually, when two oceanic plates collide, the plate that is older, therefore colder and denser, is the one that will sink. In a contest between a dense oceanic plate and a less dense, buoyant continental plate, you know that it's the dense oceanic plate that sinks.

based on what learned in bio202, arrange the following five events in an order that explains the mass flow of materials in the p
svp [43]

The correct order of the following events on the mass flow of materials in the phloem is:

  1. Leaf cells produce sugar by photosynthesis.
  2. Solutes are actively transported into sieve tubes.
  3. Water diffuses into the sieve tubes.
  4. Sugar moves down the stem.

Correct answer: letter C.

This is because the mass flow of materials in the phloem must pass through all these processes in a consecutive and orderly manner, from the cell to the stem, in order to allow nutrients and other vital materials to reach from the plant roots to the leaves and fruits.

<h3>How is this transport of nutrients and other vital materials achieved?</h3>

This is accomplished by the transport of solutes through the phloem's network of channels, which contain fluids, mineral salts, vitamins and other nutrients essential to plant health. Mass flow also helps distribute oxygen and carbon dioxide to all parts of the plant. These materials are necessary for plant respiration and growth.
