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

What was the actual proportion of the basis for equal amounts of DNA
Stells [14]

Answer:

Equal amounts of DNA contain equal proportions of nitrogenous bases.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule, the nitrogenous base pairs (Purines and pyrimidines) have an equal ratio (1:1) in the DNA of all the organisms. More precisely, the amount of adenine is equal to thymine and the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine in the DNA of all the organism. A-T base pair has two H-bonds while G-C base pair has three H-bonds.
