Which of the following statements is NOT true about valley glaciers?

Biology
2 answers:
ladessa [460]3 years ago

The statement that is not true about valley glaciers is that the flow rates are the same within the various portions of the glacier.

Explanation:

The valley glaciers are basically very large, elongated, linear body of ice. This body of ice moves from higher ground to lower areas. The movement is slow, usually only few mm per day, but it is not a movement that is consistent all over the glacier, as some parts of it move faster, while some slower. A typical feature formed by the valley glaciers is the U-shaped valley from the previously V-shaped stream valley.

  • The glaciers need special conditions to form, including very cold climate all year round, so that the ice can be sustained.
  • On their upper parts, the glaciers build up on ice mass, while on their lower parts they tend to melt, usually entering a body of water, or creating a small stream.
  • The large ice mass, its movement and spreading, results it large scale erosion, shaping up the valleys in accordance to the shape of the glacier itself, usually a U-shape.

Why is a 50 percent recovery of single-crossover products the upper limit, even when crossing over always occurs between two lin
34kurt

Answer:

Because of homologous recombination

Explanation:

  • When genes are establish on different DNAs or far apart on the same chromosome, they are classified self-sufficiently and are said to be unlinked.
  • When genes are very close together on the same chromosome, they are said to be linked. That means that alleles, or genetic versions, that are already together on a chromosome will be inherited as a unit more often than not.
  • We can see if two genes are linked, and how closely, by using data from genetic crosses to calculate the frequency of recombination.
  • Using the technique of discovery recombination happenings for numerous gene pairs, we can make link maps that show the order and relative distances of the genes on the chromosome.

  • When the genes are on the same chromosome but far apart, they are classified independently due to crossing (homologous recombination). This is a procedure that happens at the start of meiosis, in which homologous DNAs randomly exchange matching fragments. Crossing be able to connection new alleles in combination on the same chromosome, causing them to enter the same gamete. When the genes are far apart, the crossing occurs with sufficient frequency for all types of gametes to occur with 25% percentage frequency.
  • When the genes are very close together on the same chromosome, the crossing still occurs, but the result (in terms of the types of gametes produced) is different. Instead of being classified independently, genes tend to "stay together" during meiosis. That is, alleles of genes that are already together on a chromosome will tend to pass as a unit to gametes. In this case, the genes are linked

A key intermediate in the catabolism of fatty acids with uneven numbers of carbon atoms is
enyata [817]

Answer: Propionly CoA

Explanation:

During oxidation of odd chain fatty acids, the odd chain are oxidized exactly in the same manner as even chains. However, after successive removal of 2 carbon units, at the end, one 3-carbon unit, propionyl CoA is formed.

Propionyl CoA is a product of beta oxidation of odd chain fatty acids.

In three steps reaction propionyl-CoA can be converted to succinyl-CoA, an intermediate of the citric acid cycle which is converted to oxaloacetate, and is used for gluconeogenesis.
