Answer: -

b. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, causing oceanic crust to sink down below continental crust.

Explanation:-  

Oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust as it has iron, basalt, magnesium. On the other hand continental crust consists of granite and aluminium. The rocks that have oceanic crust are thus denser than the rocks that have continental crust. Continental crust is considerable thicker.

Due to the difference in the density when oceanic crust and continental crust meet at the subduction zones, the oceanic crust is sub ducted back into the mantle. Continental crust is the oldest part and underlies beneath the continent.

A layer of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks too form on the tops of the continental crust.On the basis of the above explanation, Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, causing oceanic crust to sink down below continental crust is the correct option.

frozen [14]

Answer:

Some statements of the question are missing but it can be understand as the Hydrogen bonds are Easy to break, Less amount of heat required, Less amount of enzyme needed and Can be broken by mild concentration of enzyme.

Explanation:

Weak bonds like hydrogen bonds are found to beneficial in some situations. During the duplication of chromosomes which occurs in S phase of cell cycle the DNA replicated. This replication is facilitated by separation of the two strands of DNA and formation of complimentary strand on the two primary strands. The enzymes involved in the process of separation of strands are DNA helicase and Topoisomerase mainly. As the bonds between the strands are weak hydrogen bonds, the enzymes function effectively without requiring extra heat or more saturation. It will found to be difficult if those bonds will be covalent bonds because they are much stronger than hydrogen bonds and are not easily broken by these enzymes. Extra processes will be required to break those strong bonds.

For each region of the lac operon on the F' plasmid, I+ P+ Oc Z− Y+ , determine whether the region is wild type (that is, it pro
UNO [17]

Answer:

A,B and E

Explanation:

  • I+: I refers to the lac repressor, the + indicates that the repressor is functional
  • P+:  P refers to the promoter region and the + indicates that the promoter is functional
  • Oc:  O refers to the operator region, but the Oc indicates that the operator is constitutive ie. that it is always on/ can't be turned off.
  • Z-: Z refers to the LacZ gene which produces β-galactosidase. Z- indicates that this gene is non-functional
  • Y+:  Y refers to the LacY gene which produces the permease protein. Y+ indicates that this gene is functional

So based on the breakdown above:

  • A is true because P+.
  • B is true because I+.
  • C is not true because the lac operon is an inducible system. The operator needs to be able to be repressed. In this case the operator is constitutive (always on)  which is not the correct form.
  • D is not true because Z-, no β-galactosidase is produced.
  • E is true because Y+.

Only A, B and E apply.
