The answer is (A. A warm current flows along the coast.) Currents carry cold and warm water from place to place. It's an amazing phenomenon that scientists are still trying to fully figure out.  Some think it's caused by wind, others think it's caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates, but one thing's for sure, currents are VITAL for this planets life.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

<u>Westerlies are the warm wind blowing in the mid-latitudes from the western direction towards the eastern direction in both the hemisphere</u>. It originates at the 30° latitudes from the high-pressure region and moves towards the region that are located at 60° latitude.

Since Europe is located between the latitude of 30° to 60° in the northern hemisphere, so it experiences the strong westerly winds. <u>As this warm wind comes from the tropical region so they bring warmer air currents often accompanied by rainfall. This wind when reaches the western coastal part of Europa the ice present there gets melted</u>.

so the ports remain ice-free during the winter season.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

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.

What characteristic of are found in veins but not arteries?
Paul [167]

Answer: Possession of Valves

Explanation: Veins possess valves which ensures that blood flows in only one direction. Valves helps blood to flow back to the heart against gravitational force.

Arteries don't have valves because the pressure originating from the heart is capable of causing the blood to flow in one direction.
