What kind of rays are produced when a metal, such as tungsten, is bombarded with

Biology

MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: x-rays

Explanation: When the electrons from the filament strike the tungsten target, x-rays are created photons are created if they either hit a target nucleus directly (rare) or their path takes them close to the nucleus. If a high- speed electron hits the nucleus of a target atom, all its kinetic energy is transformed into a single x-ray photon.

Please explain the difference between a frameshift mutation and a base substitution mutation.
harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.

Explanation:

DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.

In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.

ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC

A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.

ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC

As you can see, none of the other codons changed.

Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.

Which of the following would be a good adaptation for an organism that lives in the intertidal zone?
barxatty [35]

The right answer is A.

The foreshore, also called intertidal zone, is the tidal zone of the tides on the coast. The alternation of the tides which discover more or less the substrate according to the phases of the Moon determines the conditions of humidity, salinity and temperature of the foreshore.

These variations lead to a vertical ecological structuring of the foreshore in so-called supralittoral, mediolittoral and infralittoral stages. The floristic and faunistic stands of these stages are distinct, according to the requirements of organisms in water, salinity and temperature. Therefore it would be beneficial for organisms living in this period that it can live without depending on the water present in their environment since the presence of the latter is inconstant.

The foreshore is divided into several floors that correspond to different ecological conditions. These coastal stages are defined by the duration of their emergence and therefore by the level of the different tides.
