Answer:

The correct answer is option B, lower than the threshold velocity for sand

Explanation:

Threshold velocity of the soil is the velocity where soil has overcome the gravitational force and the inter particle force and it starts moving. The factors which affect the threshold velocity of soil are –

a) Lower the sand content , higher will be the threshold velocity

b) Size of aggregates in the soil – the larger the size of the aggregate the larger will be its velocity

c) Size of soil particles – soils with soil particle size greater than 1 mm shall move easily.  

Considering all the above three factors, it is clear that the threshold velocity of silt is lower than that of sand as the sand content in silt is high and also its particles are finer than that of sand particles.

Which carbohydrates are found in our genetic material?
Kisachek [45]

The carbohydrates found in our genetic material are the two sugars deoxyribose and ribose.

Carbohydrates are defined as organic compounds which occur in food and living tissue and include starch, sugars and cellulose. They are composed of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.

Deoxyribose is a sugar found in the structure of DNA, while the sugar ribose is found in the structure of RNA.

DNA is the molecule that carries the cell's genetic information while RNA is the molecule involved in synthesis of protein using the coded information received from DNA.

Both DNA and RNA are termed as the genetic molecules of life.
