Answer:

6 factors that cause short term climate change...

Explanation:

Latitude - depends on how far or close to the equator it is

Ocean currents - Certain ocean currents have different temperatures.

Wind and air masses. Heated ground causes air to rise which results in lower air pressure. As it rises it cools and descends to the ground resulting in high air pressure.

Elevation. The higher up you are, the colder and drier it will be. When air rises it expands due to low air pressure which causes it to cool.

Relief. The differences in the elevation inland. As air is forced to rise over a piece of land, the temperature decreases and condensation increases.

Nearness to water. The water heats up and cools down slower than land does, having a moderating effect. On colder days, the water heats up the land, whereas on hotter days, the land is cooled down by the water.

Who would the double pour technique be a preferred method of fabricating a cast/study model

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Prevents distortion

Explanation:

Double-pouring technique is used for casting, it prevents distortion of the material to be fabricated or the study model.

It ensures the study or fabricated model is firmly withheld, increasing the material life span, and can be used at extreme conditions.

This type of technique takes longer time to set than the single pour method as it gives the needed base to yeild the oral structures.

While distinctly Anthropoids, some Platyrrhines maintain a few of traits that are typically represented only in Prosimians. For

crimeas [40]

Convergent evolution is the concept of two or more species evolving similar traits despite being completely unrelated to one another, including the absence of a common ancestor.

The Platyrrhines, more commonly known as "New World Monkeys", share many characteristics with the Prosimians. Some of these include:

Teeth layout
Diet
Eyesight
Sleeping habits

and more.

The Platyrrhines and the Prosimians are both nocturnal animals. Despite all other members of their family being active during the day, the Playrrhines have evolved nocturnal habits similar to that of the Prosimians. Aside from that, they feed on insects more so than fruit, which is reflected by the layout of their teeth, and have eyesight well adapted to dark conditions. All of these are traits they share with the Prosimians.

Despite being in different ecosystems and regions, and sharing no recent common ancestors, both of these species have evolved strikingly similar traits. This can be used to corroborate the theory of convergent evolution, which explains how two species can evolve very similar traits despite being unrelated.

Which organelle performs a similar function in humans at the cellular level?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Full Question found elsewhere

The human body processes and eliminates food waste using the organs of the excretory system. Which organelle performs a similar function in humans at the cellular level?

Answer:

Lysosome

Explanation:

The lysosome is a part of the endomembrane system. It is a series of sacs containing digestive enzymes that are surrounded by membranes. Lysosomes are produced by the Golgi apparatus. They break down waste products so some components can be released outside the cell and others can be recycled.

TACATCCATCAGTTACGC A guanine replaced the 1st Thymine in the original DNA strand above, how many amino acids would be changed as

Julli [10]

Answer:

One amino acid

Explanation:

This question is describing the occurrence of the process of mutation, which is the alteration in the genetic sequence of a gene. In this question, a DNA sequence was given as follows: TAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC. However, a SUBSTITUTION MUTATION took place in such a way that the thymine base was replaced by a guanine base to have mutated sequence: GAC-ATC-CAT-CAG-TTA-CGC.

Since the mutation is a kind of substitution mutation, only the codon affected by that mutation will change. This DNA sequence will be transcribed into a mRNA sequence. The mRNA will be read codon by codon (a group of hree nucleotides) to produce amino acid. Since one codon will be involved, one amino acid will be affected.
