Answer:

folded mountains

Explanation:

A folded mountain is formed when two plates moving together under compression stress.Due to these compression stress thrust line or pressure is created which causes folding of layer within the upper part of earth's crust thereby forming large fold-like structures on the earth's crust.

Most of the existing mountainous ranges are examples of fold mountains

Hence, Mountains that have developed because of compressional stress—colliding plates that force rock layers upward—are called __Folded Mountain

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

a)folded mountains
b)fault-block mountains
c)canyons
d)plateaus

I think the correct answer is option B. Mountains that have developed because of compressional stress—colliding plates that force rock layers upward—are called fault-block mountains.

How many possible open reading frames (frames without stop codons) are there that extend through the following sequence? 5'... C

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

There are 4 reading frames without stop codons.

Explanation:

1) To find the possible reading frames you need to separate your sequence in codons (trios) for the 5'-> 3' sense, first, excluding the first nucleotide, then excluding 2 nucleotides and then not excluding nucleotides.

5'... C TTA CAG TTT ATT GAT ACG GAG AAG G... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CT TAC AGT TTA TTG ATA CGG AGA AGG... 3' NO STOP CODON

5'... CTT ACA GTT TAT TGA TAC GGA GAA GG... 3'

2)Then you find the complementary sequence (which you already have)

3'... GAA TGT CAA ATA ACT ATG CCT CTT CC... 5'

3'... GA ATG TCA AAT AAC TAT GCC TCT TCC... 5'

3'... G AAT GTC AAA TAA CTA TGC CTC TTC C... 5'

3) Next, you have to obtain the reverse complementary

CCT TCT CCG TAT CAA TAA ACT GTA AG NO STOP CODON

CC TTC TCC GTA TCA ATA AAC TGT AAG NO STOP CODON

C CTT CTC CGT ATC AAT AAA CTG TAA G

4)Now you need to find start (AGT in terms of DNA) and stop codons(TAA, TAG, TGA, also in terms of DNA), in 5->3 and de reverse complementary.

As you can see, you have for open reading frames that lack of stop codon, unfortunately, they also lack of AGT, the start codon.

I added a table where you can find thestart and stop codons as well as the proteins that they translate to in terms of RNA.

I hope you find this information interesting and useful, good luck!

<h2>Biennial plants</h2>

Explanation:

This plant is a biennial, which means it will just take longer than a season to mature enough to produce flowers.

Since the Sweet William plant did not flower last year when it was planted and this year also it did not bud till the spring. So, we can assume that these plant will need atleast two seasons to mature hence they are biennials.

Depending on the life span, plants are classified as annuals (one season), biennials(two season) and perennials (more than two years).

Leaves curving towards sunlight are examples of _____.

aleksklad [387]

The correct answer is phototrophism.

Phototrophism is said to be the growth of a plant toward a source of light.

It is response to the stimulus of light and is seen when a plant bends towards the direction that light is coming from. Response by plants to a stimulus is called tropism. The word or prefix "photo" means or refers to light. Therefore phototropism simply means response to light.

Phototropism can be especially evident in the jungle where the jungle floor gets very little light. If a tall tree falls to the ground, it leaves a gap in the canopy through which sunlight streams to the ground. Many jungle plants growing on the ground will bend towards the gap and rapidly grow towards the source of light.

Which of the following stages of the water cycle is most likely to be occurring on a clear Sunny hot day

Anettt [7]

Evaporation

Explanation:

On a hot sunny day, the stage of water cycle most likely occurring is the evaporation stage.

At this stage, a phase change is occurring and liquid water is converted to water vapor in the atmosphere.
