Where would an earthquake's epicenter be in this diagram?

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The earthquake refers to the sudden shaking of the earth that occurs due to the release of energy during the seismic wave propagation through the interior of the earth. The point from which the earthquake arises is termed as the focus. The focus of an earthquake is also considered as the hypocenter. And the point that is directly above the focus (hypocenter) is known as the epicenter.

Similarly, this focus and the epicenter also occurs in a region where there is a presence of a fault, that results in earthquakes of various magnitudes. This means that the point that is directly above the start of the fault slippage is also known as the epicenter.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

balandron [24]

Answer:

When they slide down, they lose this potential energy, which turns into kinetic energy and thermal energy. Thermal Energy - This energy is related to the temperature of a body or a system. When friction is involved in a system, part of the kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy.

Proteins around which the long, linear strands of DNA are wrapped; they serve to keep the DNA untangled and to enable an orderly
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is- Histone

Explanation:

DNA is approximately 2.2 m long thread which has to be adjusted in a microscopic nucleus so DNA must be in a supercoiled form to be present in the nucleus and this supercoiling of DNA is done on histone protein.

Histone protein is a positively charged protein that is made up of eight proteins so it is called histone octamer. Each histone has 2 copies of each protein that is H2A, H2B, H3, and H4.

DNA is negatively charged and histone protein is positively charged therefore DNA wraps around histone protein which causes the packaging of DNA. So the correct answer is histone protein.

Will a female only inherit a sex linked disorder if her father suffers from the same disorder, and if her mother is a carrier fo
muminat

Answer:

The female will not inherit a sex linked disorder if her father suffers rather "have chances or the disorder if the mother is the carrier" for the disorder.

Explanation:

A female has 2 X chromosome, which she got from her parents each. The females will get the disorder or the defective gene if the mother has defective X chromosome or if the father is carrying the same disorder from his father(grandfather). In both the cases the female will be the carrier and have chances to inherit the defect to the offspring. But the female will  not affect as the  male will. As the female has 2 X chromosomes, and hence the dominant X will compensate for the error in recessive X.

The caterpillar, which is the larval stage of a butterfly, is very different from its adult form. Which phenomenon is responsibl
BigorU [14]

The correct answer to this question is a: metamorphosis. Many insects take on multiple forms through different parts of their lifecycle. For example, many lepidopteran species (i.e., butterflies) include a caterpillar juvenile stage. To reach the adult stage, the juvenile stage has to go through metamorphosis, where its adult form is strikingly different from its juvenile form.

How does gravitational electrical and magnetic forces act on a maglev train
vampirchik [111]
The gravitational force is being felt as the Earth pulls the train downwards using the two forces. The coils that provide the forces releases an electrical current which makes an electromagnetic field. It repels the materials with an equal force that goes up as well.
