Answer:

The correct answer would be codon.

Codon refers to the sequence of three consecutive nucleotides (DNA or RNA) which codes for a specific amino acid.

For example, AUG codes for methionine, CCA codes for proline, GUU codes for valine, UGA is a stop codon et cetera.

The nucleotide sequence of the DNA is transcribed into the codon sequence of the mRNA.

The codon sequence of the mRNA codes for the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide chain.

The codon is deciphered with the help of the anti-codon site of the tRNA.

Which rocks will likely weather the least? rocks that are soft rocks with a porous surface rocks that are in a dry climate rocks
olasank [31]

The rocks are in dry climate.

The relative permanence or “toughness” of the rock prone to weathering absolutely depends partially on sort of rock it is. This is because rock type is defined by the structure and relationship of the constituent metals, and complex metals vary in how they endure up to weathering.

Several types of rock, like granite, are very repellent to weathering. Moreover, Igneous rocks serve to heat slowly because it is difficult for water to penetrate into them.

What is the ratio of a minerals Mass to its volume
Mama L [17]

density and specific gravity are properties used to help identify minerals. Density is a measure of the mass of a certain volume of the sample. Specific gravity is a unit less measure, and it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water. density and specific gravity are properties used to help identify minerals.

Discuss the order in which seed dispersal mechanisms could have evolved
sladkih [1.3K]

The fossil records of primitive plants show a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms that has been adopted by plants at various stages and how they have evolved. The most primitive of this seed dispersal mechanism is the Anemochory

Anemochory is the dispersal of seed through the wind. The seeds have wing like structures and are lightweight to be able to fly away with the wind. They are dull colored and are pale that will prevent the seed from being visible.

Hydrochory is the next order of evolution of the seed dispersal mechanism which became majorly adopted by plants that tend to grow near water sources and those whose seeds are too heavy to fly in the air. One of the best examples is the coconut that falls off on the sea water in the coastal areas and floats to other lands and sprouts to a new plant.

Barochory is the dispersal of the seed through gravity. This is the mechanism where the fruit falls off to the ground due to gravity and grows into a new plant.

Endozochory is the dispersal of the seed through animals. In this case the seed is usually covered with a fleshy edible part which is consumed by the animals and in this process the seed goes into the digestive system of the animal and is excreted in a different place from where the seed can sprout into a new plant.

Ballochory is the dispersal of the seed due to the forceful ejection of the seed by explosive dehiscence of the seed. This lets the plant to place its seeds in a distant area. One of the best examples is the Hura Crepitans which is also called the dynamite tree, named after its exploding fruits.

Seismic wave speeds change with respect to temperature, pressure, and rock composition. How does this information help scientist
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Seismic waves travel faster in denser rocks; temperature tends to lower the speed of seismic waves; and pressure tends to increases the speed. Caution: The speed of a seismic wave generally increases with depth, despite the fact that the increase of temperature with depth works to lower the wave velocity.

this helps scientists because it shows how fast a earthquake is moving
