The destructive force of the wave is not felt while they are out at the sea but it is felt when they approach the shore.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the waves are out in the ocean they are in deeper waters. Once they move towards the shore they approach shallow waters. This movement causes shoaling of the waves by which its amplitude increases.

When the wave reaches the shore its leading edge gets slowed down by coming in contact with the beach floor but its trailing edge which is still in deep water still moves rapidly. The wave thus gets compressed and its wavelength decreases. The amplitude of the wave then increases rapidly making the wave destructive.

Using the brake pedal analogy, explain the impact of ONE mutated tumor suppressor gene allele versus TWO mutated tumor suppresso
GrogVix [38]

The tumor suppressors allele is analogous to the brake pedal in a vehicle while cyclins are like the gas pedal. The tumor supressors regulate, negatively, the replication of cells. If the tumor supressor is mutated, this is analogous to the brake pedals of the vehicle being broken,   This means that if two are broken, then the vehicle will be unable to stop and will continue moving. This same way, if tumor suppressors are mutated, the replication of cells will continue unregulated and casue a tumor.

The deflection of moving air and water that results from Earth's rotation is known as the a Southern Hemisphere Effect b Norther
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.

In this activity, you will identify portals of entry and exit found in a human host.
zhannawk [14.2K]
Portals of entry are the sites where micro-organisms can enter a host and reproduce, causing diseases or infections. There are various portals of entry in the human body. This can include the skin, our mucous membranes, and even our respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Portals of exit are where these micro-organisms leave and spread to other individuals. Portals of exit include coughing, sneezing, and some of our bodily fluids.

How do cell differentiation and cell division work together?
Flura [38]

Answer:

After mitosis is over, each of the daughter cells continues its separate life.

Explanation:

One or both can be started or continued through differentiation, ie. processes that give different cells special structures and functions. A cell destined to become a nerve cell moves in one way of differentiation, and a cell destined to be a muscle cell moves in another.

A variation of this mechanism involves a special type of cell called a stem cell. The stem cell divides by mitosis, whereby one daughter cell remains the stem cell and continues to divide again and again, while the other difference in certain cell peaks is determined in the tissues.
