Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression. If you imagine undoing the motion of a reverse fault, you will undo the compression and thus lengthen the horizontal distance between two points on either side of the fault.
if you stood on the fault plane the block on the right would be under your feet. this is thus the footwall. The tan sandstone has been pushed up and over itself. This offset of the hanging wall indicates that this is a reverse fault.

What is the function of the swim bladder?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The swim bladder is located in the body cavity and is derived from an outpocketing of the digestive tube. It contains gas (usually oxygen) and functions as a hydrostatic, or ballast, organ, enabling the fish to maintain its depth without floating upward or sinking.

En un cruce entre peces naranjas y peces grises se obtiene una generación (f1) de 50% peces grises . Realice el cruce y explique
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Uno de los progenitores es heterocigoto para color naranja (Nn) y el otro parental es homocigoto recesivo para gris (nn). Al haber una cruza entre un homocigoto recesivo y un heterocigoto, la 50% de la progenie expresa color naranja (Nn), mientras que el otro 50% expresa color gris (nn).

Explanation:

<u>Datos disponibles:</u>

  • Cruce entre peces naranjas y peces grises
  • 50% de la F1 son peces grises
  • Naranja dominante sobre gris

Podemos nombrar el alelo dominante para color naranja <em>N</em>, y al alelo recesivo  para color gris <em>n</em>.

Para que en un cruce entre dos fenotipos distintos, el 50% de la primer camada exprese uno de estos fenotipos, entonces uno de los parentales debe ser heterocigoto, mientras que el otro parental debe ser homocigoto recesivo. De esta forma 50% de la primera generación expresara uno de los fenotipos, mientras que el otro 50% expresará el otro fenotipo.

Supongamos que uno de los parentales lleva el genotipo <em>Nn</em>, y el otro parental es <em>nn</em>.

Cruce:

Parental)      Nn    x     nn

Gametas)   N    n       n    n

Fenotipos) Naranja     Gris

Cuadro de Punnett)      N           n

                            n       Nn         nn

                            n       Nn         nn

F1)  2/4 = 1/2 = 50% de la progenie tendrá genotipo heterocigoto, Nn

     2/4 = 1/2 = 50% de la progenie tendrá genotipo homocigota recesivo,    

     nn

     50% de la progenie será color naranja (Nn)

     50% de la progenie será color gris (nn)

1. Why must DNA have thymine instead of Uracil? 2. Why is it necessary for RNA to have uracil instead of thymine?
Zigmanuir [339]
Thymine has a methyl group and is better suited for the storage property of the DNA molecule as it is far more stable compared to Uracil.
RNA contain Uracil instead of thymine so as to make differentiation of RNA molecule from DNA molecules easier.
