dalvyx [7]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Principle of Superposition  causes the youngest layers to be on top.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Principle of Superposition states that when two or more waves having similar intensity and characteristics, intersect each other at the same point, some displacements occur as a result.
  • This displacement is equal to the sum of the displacements of both the waves.
  • The stratification of sedimentary rocks is based on the same principle. Thus, when two layers of soil come in contact, the younger soil layer deposit above the older one.

A certain bacterial mRNA is known to represent only one gene and to contain about
Brut [27]

Answer:

C) 30,000

Explanation:

According to the given information, the bacterial mRNA consists of about 800 nucleotides. Three consecutive nucleotides together make one genetic codon which in turn codes for one specific amino acid in the protein encoded by this mRNA.  

So, an mRNA with 800 nucleotides will have total 800/3 = 266.67 or 266 genetic codes. The protein encoded by this mRNA would have a total of 266 amino acids.  

Given that one amino acid imparts 110 units to the molecular weight of the protein, the protein with 266 amino acids have the molecular weight= 266 x 110 = 29260, that is about 30,000.
