Answer:

A. continental-oceanic convergent

Explanation:

  • Convergent boundaries are found in places where two plates move towards each other.
  • Continental-oceanic convergent is a type of convergent boundary which is formed if one plate which has an oceanic crust on the top movers toward another plate which has a continental crust on the top.
  • In the given scenario the Nazca plate is topped by the oceanic crust whereas the South American plate is topped by continental crust and as they move towards each other continental-oceanic convergent plate boundary is formed.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>A. continental-oceanic convergent</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A convergent boundary</u></em> is a type of boundary where two plates collide and push against one another.
  • <em><u>A continental-oceanic convergent</u></em> is a type of convergent boundary that occurs as a result of <em><u>subduction.</u></em> <em><u>Subduction occurs where a continental plate collide thus resulting to the oceanic plate being pushed underneath the continental plate</u></em> into the mantle since the oceanic plates are much thinner.
  • The result is that <em><u>the oceanic plates melts into hot magma which that burns its way up through the continental plate</u></em> forming a volcano and also causing earth quakes.

Please also describe how actin-binding sites are made available for cross-bridging with myosin heads during contraction.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: The calcium ion binds to troponin, and this slides the tropomyosin rods away from the binding sites.

Explanation:

Contraction and relaxation of muscle cells brings about movements of the body. The contractile myofilament called sarcomeres are bounded at each end by a dense stripe called the Z - line, to which the myosin fibres are attached, and lying in the middle of the sarcomere are the actin filaments, overlapping with the myosin.

When action potential spreads from the nerve along the sarcolemma (muscle cell membrane), it penetrates deep into the muscle cell through the sarcoplasm (cytoplasm of muscle cell), and releases CALCIUM from the intracellular stores.CALCIUM triggers the binding of myosin to the actin filament next to it forming CROSS BRIDGES.

For this to occur, ACTIN BINDING SITE has to be made available. TROPOMYOSIN is a protein that winds around the chains of the actin filament and covers the myosin-binding sites to prevent actin from binding to myosin. The first step in the process of contraction is for calcium ions to bind to troponin so that tropomyosin can slide away from the binding sites on the actin strands.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Eat foods that are high in fiber. Fiber helps stimulates the muscles in your small intestine that help you digest food better. Probiotic foods like yogurt as well as fresh fruits and vegetables also help carry beneficial bacteria to your small intestine to help prevent the accumulation and growth of harmful bacteria.

A mutation within a gene that will insert a premature stop codon in mrna would _______
AveGali [126]

A mutation within a gene that will insert a untimely cease codon in mRNA would result in a shortened polypeptide chain.

<h3>What occurs if there is a untimely end codon?</h3>

Thus, nonsense mutations occur when a premature nonsense or end codon is added in the DNA sequence. When the mutated sequence is translated into a protein, the resulting protein is incomplete and shorter than normal. Consequently, most nonsense mutations result in nonfunctional proteins

<h3>What mutation motives untimely cease codon?</h3>

In genetics, a nonsense mutation is a factor mutation in a sequence of DNA that effects in a premature stop codon, or a nonsense codon in the transcribed mRNA, and in a truncated, incomplete, and normally nonfunctional protein product.
