Using the s-p timing method, epicenters can be located using seismograms from a minimum of ______ recording stations.

1 answer:

7 0

The SP timing method is a technique, which is useful for finding the epicenter of the earthquake. The Seismograph at a particular station shows the S and the P waves. The difference between the S and the P waves can be used to determine the distance, which waves have travelled in order to reach the seismic station.

The distance obtained is the distance of the epicenter from that seismic station, in order to determine the epicenter the circle is drawn in the map keeping the seismic center at the center. Same process is done by three or more seismic centers. The point, where the circle drawn by three or more seismic centers meet is considered as the epicenter.

Hence, the correct answer is Three.

A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population con

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given ,

A1 allele is carried by $70$ % people

Let us assume A1 s dominant genotype

This means $p= \frac{70}{100} = 0.7$

Thus, frequency of allele in the given population is $0.7$

It is also given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus

$p+q=1\\0.7+q=1\\q = 1-0.7\\q= 0.3$

Frequency of fruit fly with genotype A2A2 will be

$q^2\\= (0.3)^2\\= 0.09$

As per Hardy-Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium

$p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\0.49+0.09+2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-0.49-0.09\\2pq= 0.42$

Hence, option C is correct

The condition Marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main protein component of elastic fibers. Pre

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.
