<span>The speed of sound fluctuates with changes in depth that go with regular changes in salinity, temperature and pressure in the ocean. They may both form a coat of shadow, layers of reflection when the waves are propagated. The greater the temperature of the water, the faster the sound travels for narrower depths. But deeper into the ocean, pressure dominates. The thermocline where the change of temperature is greatly observed, shows a decrease in sound speed with decreasing temperature. The region somewhere in the thermocline where the sound speed is at minimum and allows the transmission of low frequency sound at great distances is called SOFAR or sound fixing and ranging channel. SOFAR channels is greatly affected with depth and thickness.</span>

Water stratification is a phenomenon in which regions of water with different properties, such as salinity, oxygen content, density and temperature, form barriers to mixing of the water.

These barriers also create channels, referred to as sound fixing and ranging (SOFAR) channels. In these channels, the sound has a specified path. It travels slower than normal, but due to reduced dissipation to the surroundings, the sound travels for larger distances.

How would a mistake in transcribing the DNA message affect your ability to catch the killer?
mel-nik [20]

Answer: When the DNA collected on the crime scene is being analysed in the forensic lab, the results will be inconclusive, because error in DNA transcription, particularly in mRNA encoding leads to inheritable phenotype change by reprogramming the transcriptional network, without changing the DNA. Transcription errors are brief with no long-term consequences. Due to mRNA being short-lived and the erroneous proteins are degraded. A decrease in transcription accuracy triggers cellular identity change.

Explanation: This is called epimutation, a heritable modification that results in the change of gene expression, but not the DNA sequence. Epimutation is not associated with DNA mutation, but is associated with the loss or gain of DNA methylation or other heritable changes of the chromatin.

In your own words, describe the spread of Corona virus and the global response to it.
Ket [755]

Answer:

The spread of corona virus was deadly and affected everyone, even if they weren't infected by the virus itself. Families were seperated, and thousands were killed. The world responded by sharing kindness and love to the people who need it most, and protecting itself by self isolation.
