P Waves are compressional and the fastest moving seismic wave

S waves are slower than P waves and they can only travel through solid rock. S waves move the particles it pushes through up and down or side to side.

Answer:

Explanation:

P WAVES are also called Primary waves. The properties of a primary wave include:

• They are longitudinal and compressional waves by nature

• They travel much faster than other waves

• They travel through the earth to reach the seismograph stations first

• They can travel through any kind of material, including fluids

• They travel at the speed of sound, so they travel at the speed of sound

S WAVES are also called Secondary waves. The properties of a secondary wave include:

• They are transverse and shear waves in nature

• They arrive at the seismograph stations after the fast- movign P-waves

• They can travel onlt through solids

• They are slower than P-waves,a nd speeds are normally 65% of that of P-waves

When the cell cycle is interrupted what is the end result

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

When the cell cycle is interrupted, apoptosis occurs.

Explanation:

Opoptosis is also known as programmed death of the abnormal cell. When cell DNA is damaged first it is repaired. If cell DNA cannot be repaired so the cell kill itself. If Opoptosis didn't occurs, then the cell divides with the damage DNA and transfer that damage DNA to the daughter cells which lead to cancer disease. Cancer also occurs when uncontrolled division of cells is done.

Starting in 1850 when Europe become industrialized, the frequency of melanic forms of the peppered moth in populations ______ un

mash [69]

Answer:

increased; almost 100%

Explanation:

The peppered moth witnessed a change in its color and the number at the end of the eighteenth century. The reason behind this was the Industrial Revolution that led to an increase in air pollution. With the increase in air pollution, the dark-colored moths increased in the number. Later, when air pollution decreased, the light-colored moths started to predominate. It was in 1895 that the number of dark-colored moths increased to the maximum.

If the lateral hypothalamus of a laboratory rat is surgically damaged, the animal ___________:

alekssr [168]

If the lateral hypothalamus of a laboratory rat is surgically damaged, the animal usually exhibits a dramatic reduction in ingestive behaviour.

The lateral hypothalamus responds to any external or internal stimulation that causes you to feel hungry. Once we have eaten, a ventromedial hypothalamus sends signals to the brain and telling us that like we are feeling full and we had enough food consumed, and this cycle continues.

Ingestive behaviour refers to feeding and drinking feelings which is a complex process that may involve a variety of the psychological factors, metabolic processes, neuronal mechanisms, and gastrointestinal mechanisms which convey neural and humoral signals to the central nervous system (CNS).

What role do insulator sequences play in the regulation of eukaryotic transcription? See Section 13.1 (Page 479) . What role do

Airida [17]

Answer:

D. They block communication between enhancers and non-targeted promoters

Explanation:

Insulator sequences are the group of DNA sequences that protect the protein-coding regions of the DNA from the surrounding regulatory sequences. Some insulator sequences are present between the enhancers and promoters of a gene. These insulator sequences do now allow these enhancers to regulate the expression of genes by sending inappropriate signals.

However, if the insulator sequences are not present between the enhancers and promoters of certain genes but are located somewhere else, enhancers can upregulate the expression of these genes.
