<h2><em>By far the predominant gas is carbon dioxide, making up 95.9 percent of the atmosphere's volume. The next four most abundant gases are argon, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide.</em></h2><h2><em>                                   HOPE IT HELPS (◕‿◕✿)        </em></h2><h2><em>                                           SMILE!!</em></h2>

Answer:

Compared to Oxygen, Nitrogen is 4 times as abundant in the atmosphere. Here is why Nitrogen is more abundant in the atmosphere:

Of course, we must also consider the relative abundances of Oxygen and Nitrogen over the entire Earth (oxygen is about 10,000 times more abundant).  Oxygen is a major component of the solid earth, along with Si and elements such as Mg, Ca and Na. Nitrogen is not stable as a part of a crystal lattice, so it is not incorporated into the solid Earth, so it is not incorporated into the solid Earth. This is one reason why nitrogen is so enriched in the atmosphere relative to oxygen. The other primary reason is that, unlike oxygen, nitrogen is very stable in the atmosphere and is not involved to a great extent in chemical reactions that occur there. Thus, over geological time, it has built up in the atmosphere to a much greater extent than oxygen.

In the night sky, stars often look like a multitude of bright lights barely distinguishable from one another. But the fact is th
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

differences: color, brightness, temperature, size, and mass

similarities: They are balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium

Explanation:

Stars look mostly the same from anywhere or any place and tough to differentiate or distinguish one from another. Star can be different on the various ground even they look similar from far away.

Stars can be of various colors from red to blue and brightness can be different as well, color depends on temperature, and brightness depends on the size of the star.

Stars are grouped by the size that ranges from dwarf to supergiant. The temperature of the stars also varies which affects the color and brightness as well.  

Stars are the big balls of gases composed of mainly helium and hydrogen all are always under a nuclear reaction.

Key points: Cells have a variety of mechanisms to prevent mutations, or permanent changes in DNA sequence. During DNA synthesis,
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Explanation:

The above mentioned key points are mechanisms by which cells used to correct replication error and repair damaged DNA.

Proof Reading: while printing a page, the typesetter set the types and impression is taken, proof reading is done to correct mistakes if any, and the final printing is done. A similar follow up mechanism is done after DNA synthesis. If DNA polymerase detects an incorrect nucleotide pair, it will remove and replace with the correct nucleotide immediately.

Mismatch Repair:even after DNA synthesis, mismatch area(insertion or deletion) can be identified on the newly synthesized DNA.

In the mismatch repair, specific proteins scan the newly synthesized DNA strand. The mismatch area is identified and loop.

The second protein complex remove the mismatch segment. Finally correct segment is synthesized by the help of DNA polymerase, SSBs and ligase.

DNA damage repair mechanism: when DNA get damaged, there's a repair process that fix the damage. This includes Direct reversal, excision repair and Double stranded break repair

In eukaryotic gene regulation, RNA interference occurs through:
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

B. the action of microRNAs that block translation of specific mRNA molecule

C. the action of RNA–protein complexes that degrade the regulatory proteins responsible for initiating transcription.

Explanation:

RNA interference occurs what RNA prevent the translation of some gene this is done by neutralizing target mRNA molecule. It suppresses the effects of some desires genes through its action.

MicroRNA and small interfering RNA (miRNA and siRNA) are the major RNA that controls interference. siRNA and miRNA prevent translation by directing some enzmes complexes to denature the mRNA molecule needed for translation. They intiate post transcriptional splicing.

RNA interference is found in eukaryote and some animals and its initiated by enzyme Dicer that inhibits translation by degrading the enzymes action.
