How does chemical weathering differ from mechanical wheathering

Biology
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]4 years ago
8 0
Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks down into smaller pieces. This gives the rock a larger surface area for chemical reactions to take place. Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by chemical processes.

A single gene produces two different proteins, utilizing different exons. What is the most likely explanation?
Helen [10]

Answer:   Differences in mRNA splicing.

Explanation:

The exon is the region of a gene that is not separated during the cutting and splicing process and thus remains in the mature messenger RNA. In genes encoding a protein, it is the exons which contain the information to produce the protein encoded in the gene. In these cases, each exon encodes a specific portion of the complete protein, so that the set of exons forms the coding region of the gene. In eukaryotes, the exons of a gene are separated by long regions of DNA (called introns) which do not code.

RNA splicing is a post-transcriptional process of maturing RNA from which certain sequential fragments are removed. This process is very common in eukaryotes, and can occur in any type of RNA, although it is more common in mRNA. It consists of removing the introns from the primary transcript and then binding the exons. Particularly, <u>alternative RNA splicing takes place when one gene can produce different proteins as a result of what segments are considered as introns and exons</u>. When different segments are considered exons, the result is a great diversity of mature transcripts which produce different proteins.

<u>So, gene splicing is a post-transcriptional modification in which a gene can code for many proteins, which makes it an important source of protein diversity.</u>

What single imporvement do you think would be necessary to increase the reliability
choli [55]
If you mean  reliability for say an experiment. 

1. Detailed procedure of the experiment should be published.                              How many samples were tested? List of the equipment that were used and justified explanations of the process. These are important in order to prevent things like conspiracy or oversimplified test (only using a small number of sample).

2. Experiment should be done not only by one particular expert, but lots.               

If for example, Professor ‘A’ makes the hypothesis, he should not be the only one who does the experiment. Even if he has hundreds of assistant, it may not be fair, as bias may play a significant role. In order to reduce a factor called bias, other expert (with at least the same qualification) should take part in the experiment.

<span>3. </span>A wide variety of ‘sample’ (in psychology would mostly be animal, or human in some case) <span>must be tested.                                                                                                       </span>It is important to remember that each person is unique while the world consists of 6 billion people. Therefore by testing a group from the same place or background might not be enough. Things like culture/background, physical condition or surroundings need to be put into consideration.

These 3 factors are very important in order for the word ‘reliability’ to be awarded. They will also be beneficial in terms of keeping us from having any knowledge that may lead us astray. Remember that knowledge comes from a hypothesis, and for a hypothesis to be approved; it needs to be tested first by experiments. Those 3 factors would be needed to increase reliability.

How did fish fossil reach the surface
Andrei [34K]
Fish fossils occur in sediments deposited underwater. That could be sea bottom, lakes, or rivers. Generally, seabottom sediments are raised to the surface by tectonic uplift. Also, when sea level falls during ice ages, sea bottom sediments are exposed to the atmosphere.
