Rocks erode and sediment is deposited.

No sediment is deposited over a long time

Explanation:

Unconformity can form when rocks erode and sediment is deposited in that process, it can also be a period of non-deposition for a very long time. Unconformity represents a time break in the stratigraphic record.

There are different types of unconformity.
Unconformity is due to a period of non-deposition or series of erosion which is followed by deposition of sediments.
Usually, they are expressed by the presence of unconformable beds or some prolonged erosional surfaces that are preserved.

What is the difference between light microscope and electron microscope

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Electron microscopes differ from light microscopes in that they produce an image of a specimen by using a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light. Electrons have much a shorter wavelength than visible light, and this allows electron microscopes to produce higher-resolution images than standard light microscopes.

a culture of e. coli is irradiated with uv light. the highest frequency of mutations would be obtained if after the irradiation,

Klio2033 [76]

Oftentimes UV light can cause the genetic code of an organism to mutate, leading to a variety of errors, some of which are not compatible with life.

UV light is considered to be a mutagen. What this means is that the exposure of cells to UV light often leads directly to a mutation in the genetic code of that cell. This correlation has been studied extensively and shown to affect the nucleotides of DNA, which are:

A base (adenine)
T base (thymine)
G base (guanine)
C base (cytosine)

The exposure to UV light causes the base nucleotides in the DNA of an organism to oxidize. This oxidization causes the base pairs to form dimers. Most often the dimer formed is of a <u>thymine base</u>. This can be thought of as the fusion between two thymine bases, which will alter the frame in which DNA is read and <u>cause all sorts of abnormalities</u>.
