Biology

prohojiy [21]4 years ago

Fault-block mountains are formed in areas of rifting. Rifting is where the crust spreads. Where rifting occurs, you will have a fault line, on one side of the fault, the crust will sink and other the other side, it will rise.
The sinking side is called a graben and the rising side is called a horst. Horsts usually form the mountain ranges called fault-block ranges

examples include the Grand Tetons
Mount Holyoke Range of Massachusetts
many of the ranges in the basin and range region in the American Southwest

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.
