Write a 225 word report on why each of the factors (R, K, L, S, C, and P) are important factors needed to determine the amount o

f erosion that occurs on a piece of agricultural land. Explain what would make each factor's value be very high or low, and how each factor contributes to erosion.

Answer:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,

K - soil erodibility factor

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient

C- the cover and management factor

P - the erosion control practice factor

Explanation:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -  

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,  which depends on geographic location. The greater is the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the higher will bethe erosion potential.  

K - soil erodibility factor,  K signifies the soil loss in tonnes/hectare (tons/acre) for any agricultural land that is cultivated and has a slope length (assumed) of 22.13 meters and slope steepness of 9%. K represents the susceptibility of a soil particle to be easily detached from the surface and carried away by rainfall and runoff. The greater is the value of K , the greater is the erodibility of the soil particles.

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope lengths is greater than an assumed slope length of 22.13 meters. The longer the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.  

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope steepness is greater than an assumed slope steepness of 9%. The steeper the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.

C- the cover and management factor, It states how effective soil and crop management systems is in terms of preventing soil loss. It is a ratio of soil loss from land under a specific crop and management system to corresponding loss from continuously fallow and tilled land. The higher the C value, the lower is the management process quality to prevent soil erosion

P - the erosion control practice factor,  It represents the after effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion by reducing the amount and rate of the water runoff. The lower the P value, the better is the effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion

A cell has 36 chromosomes. After it divides by mitosis, how many chromosomes will be in each cell?
butalik [34]

Answer:

36 chromosomes in each cell

Explanation:

Mitosis is an equational division which means that it does not reduce or change the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. Mitosis in a single parent cell produces two daughter cells each having the same DNA content and the number of chromosomes is present in the parent cell. Each chromosome after the S phase has two sister chromatids that separate from each other and are segregated to the opposite poles of the cell during anaphase of mitosis. Therefore, a cell with 36 chromosomes will form two daughter cells after one round of mitosis. Each daughter cell would have 36 chromosomes.

"if a bacterium cannot use citrate, what result will occur in citrate agar?"
Annette [7]

If a bacterium cannot use citrate agar will not change its color (stays green). On the other hand, if bacteria have the ability to use citrate, the medium will change its color from green to blue.

This happens because citrate agar contains pH indicator such as bromothymol blue which transforms from green to blue in alkaline conditions.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Cas9-sgRNA cannot align with targeted DNA sequence

Explanation:

Without a PAM sequence, the CRISPR-sgRNA (small guide RNA) complex cannot align with the targeted DNA sequence. Therefore, you cannot perform experiments (e.g. gene editing) using CRISPR-Cas9.
