Compaction. Is the answer to this

6 0

The process is called as compaction.

Compaction is the process by which the sediment progressively losses its porosity due to the effect of loading. When the sediment is formed by its own it contains pores. The pore space is usually filled with water. As the sediment is deposited over time the upper layer of sediments pushes the lower layer and due to this reason the sediments deposits and stick together to form solid rock. The pore size of different sedimentary rock is different like mudstone has porosity of more than 60% and sandstone of porosity more than 40%. The porosity is reduced by compaction.

A point mutation changes the DNA sequence CGA to CGT, but the same protein is still produced. Which point mutation occurred? A.
iren [92.7K]
The answer is <span>C.silent.

Nonsense, missense, silent, and frameshift mutations are point mutations. The point mutations are the change in a single nucleotide base on the DNA molecule. In a missense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide base results in a codon coding for a different amino acid. In a nonsense mutation, the change in a single nucleotide results in a stop codon or in a nonsense codon. Frameshift mutation, due to addition or deletion of a base, results in the change of reading frame and totally different translation. In all these cases, the change could lead to different of nonfunctional protein translation.
Silent mutation, on the other, means that change in a nucleotide base will no affect amino acid. It will result in a different codon, but the one that code for the same amino acid, so the same protein will be produced.

A bacterial sample has a cell density of 1.85 x106 CFU/mL. What plate dilution should yield a countable plate? Which two dilutio
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacterial count in stock- 1.85x10^6 cfu/ml

Dilution methods

Take 100 uL or (0.1ml) from stock and add to 900ul (0.9ml) saline and mixed it- this makes 10^1dilution.

Now take 100ul from 10^1 dilution and add to next 900ul saline this is 10^2 dilution, similarly do upto 10^5 dilution.

Then take 100ul from 10^ 4 and 10^5 dilution seperately and plate on LB agar plate seperetely and count the colonies.

Cfu/ml formula= (No.of colonies x dilution factor)/0.1 ml

So suppose, 18 colonies formed on 10^4 dilution then total no. Of cells in stock will be 18x10^4/ 0.1= 18x10^5 cfu/ml.

If we dilute 10^4 or 10^5 that's leads to colony count of 18-19 colonies on 10^4 dilution while 2 colonies should come on plate of 10^5 dilution.
