Answer:

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. 

Explanation:

Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

What is the difference between a GMO and cloning
viktelen [127]

Answer:

A GMO Genetically Modified Product though similar to cloning is quite different. Cloning is the process of using egg cells from an individual to produce a new organism. When the baby is born, it is genetically identical to the parent, an exact copy. This process occurs in a lab. Genetic Engineering, which is used to make GMOs,  uses technology to alter or change an organism's genes. New genetic information can be added to or removed from an existing set of DNA.

<em>So I would say that some of the differences between GMOs and cloning include that:</em>

Cloning strives to create exact copies of an organism's parent while GMOs remove and add different genes to form desired offsprings like making a product last longer or making the product grow larger faster.

Hopefully, this helped you! Have a nice day :)

Which trace mineral is important for activating a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis?
ki77a [65]
The correct answer is Manganese (Mn).
<span>Manganese functions as a cofactor for a large variety of enzymes with many functions including those active in gluconeogenesis. <span>Pyruvate carboxylase that catalyzes breakdown of pyruvate to oxaloacetate requires manganese (or magnesium) for its function. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase also needs Mn.</span></span>

Select the correct answer.<br> Which alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth causes a lunar eclipse?
diamong [38]

Answer:

Observing a Lunar Eclipse

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can only occur the full moon phase.

Effectus [21]

Answer: Pithecanthropus erectus.

Explanation:

Between 1891 and 1892 Eugène Dubois believed he had found the "missing link", hypothesized by Ernst Haeckel, when he discovered some loose teeth, a skull cap and a femur - very similar to that of modern man - in the excavations he was carrying out in Trinil, located on the island of Java, Indonesia. Homo erectus erectus was the first specimen of Homo erectus to be discovered.  Dubois first named it <u>Anthropopithecus erectus and then renamed it Pithecanthropus erectus.</u> The name Homo erectus means in Latin "erect man", wich means, "standing man", whereas Pithecantropus erectus means "standing ape-man".

So, Dubois published these findings as Pithecanthropus erectus in 1894, more popularly known as "Java Man" or "Trinil Man". In the 1930s the German palaeontologist Ralpf von Koenigswald obtained new fossils, both from Trinil and from new locations such as Sangiran and in 1938 von Koenigswald identified a magnificent Sangiran skull as "Pithecanthropus". It was not until 1940 that Mayr attributed all these remains to the genus Homo (Homo erectus erectus).

9. Briefly describe how each of the following mutations would affect gene expression and/or phenotype: Reactive oxygen species h
REY [17]

Answer:

<h2>G-A mutation is a point mutation in which one nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide, it is an example of Transition mutation (a base substitutions that changes a purine nucleotide to another purine.</h2>

Explanation:

1. Defective Mitochondrial Gene Expression Results in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).

2. Elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and increased oxidative stress, results in defects in proper functioning of cell by causing mutation in the DNA and mitochondrial genes.

3. If the mutation is silent mutation, then there is no harm or less harm in the cell, if the mutation is missense or nonsense type then it can affect the functioning of the cell and phenotype of that organism.

4. If their is mutation in mitochondrial tRNA gene, it can affect the translation of mitochondrial mRNA and gene expression.
