Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Changes in chromosome include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations.

  • Deletion occurs when an end of a chromosome breaks off.
  • Duplication is the presence of a chromosome segment more than once in the same chromosome.
  • Translocation is when a fragment of chromosomal breakage join a nonhomologous chromosome.
  • Reciprocal translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by exchange of parts between non-homologous chromosomes.
  • Robertsonian translocation occurs when two non-homologous chromosomes get attached, meaning that given two healthy pairs of chromosomes, one of each pair "sticks" together.

Describe how the three different types of seismic waves move and affect the movement of the material they pass over or through.
son4ous [18]
Seismic waves travel in all the directions and used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake. There are 3 types of seismic waves that move in different directions.
1. P wave: It is the fastest of all three waves that travel through the interior of the earth and are compressive waves.
2. S wave: Secondary waves generally follow the P waves and travel through the interior of the earth but are shearing waves.
3. Surface wave: This is the slowest of all three waves that moves close to the surface of the ground.

These waves affect the movement of other materials when they are passing through the interior or surface of the earth.
P waves can move through the solid rocks and even liquids. S waves do not travel through the  liquids such as water and molten magma. Surface waves causes shaking of the ground and do not go deep inside the earth.

A scientist performs an experiment to see if acids have an effect on the health of a particular type of plant. Three sets of pla
olga55 [171]

The question is not complete but it can be answered in general as the plants cannot survive in acidic conditions.

Answer: High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.

Explanation:

The plants that were kept in the higher acidic conditions are less likely to grow in higher acidic conditions.

The plants that were kept in more basic conditions will also not grow properly as the pH of the soil should be neutral, slightly acidic or slightly basic.

The plants that was kept as a control on the pH of 7 will grow the best as the pH is optimum for the growth of the plants.

The conclusion is high acidity is harmful for the life of the plants.
