Answer:

Explanation:

Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.

As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.

In the gene TATTCATTGTTA—TGATTT—ATTCG, CATTGTTA encodes for pepsin, a digestive enzyme. The rest of the sequence doesn’t code fo
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG

Explanation:

A mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. A mutation occurs during replication or recombination. It may be due to base substitutions, deletions and insertions. As per the question, DNA segment forms encodes for the enzyme pepsin is CATTGTTA.

Option TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG is the correct answer. In the DNA segment which encodes pepsin, a purine base (G) guanine is replaced by another purine (A) adenine. This type of mutation is called a transition type point mutation.

Due to base substitution, the mutated segment CATTCATTA will nor encode pepsin.

A 180-ohm resistor has 0.10 A of current in it. what is the potential difference across the resistor
Firlakuza [10]
We know V=IR (Ohm's law).

We are given R=180Ω and I=0.1A, then V=(0.1AΩ)(180Ω). Therefore

V=18V

A falcon can descend with a speed 250 km/h. If a falcon flies at this speed for 2.0 s and then flies a 100 m in 2.5 s, what is t
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

v= s/t

Explanation:

250 km/ h =69.44m/s

S1=2 times 69.44 ≈ 139m

Next 2.5 seconds:

S2 = 100m

Average speed:

v=139m+100m/2s+2.5s = 239/4.5s = 53.2 m/s=192km/h

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?
dedylja [7]
Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.
