Which rain gauge would be least accurate for measuring heavy rainfall?

Biology
1 answer:
Alla [95]3 years ago
6 0

The most accurate way to measure rainfall is to take a rain bucket of a known diameter (usually 12 or 24 inches) and place it on a scale. The scale subtracts the mass of the container from the mass of the rain.

They’re more accurate because they don’t underestimate the power of intense rain, which can actually affect the accuracy of an analog gauge and they can also measure other forms of precipitation including hail and snow.

Weighing gauges can even be equipped with a device that allows scientists to measure the quantity of chemicals contained in the atmosphere or a particular location through its rainfall. This is especially useful in studying the effects of greenhouse gases on the levels of acid rain.

Is the binding of a transcription factor to its dna recognition sequence necessary and sufficient for an initiation of transcrip
hram777 [196]

Transcription factors are necessary for an initiation of transcription at a regulated gene but not sufficient.

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter Transcription factors can enhance the interaction between RNA polymerase and a DNA sequence- promoter, encouraging the expression of the gene. Such transcription factors are called activators. Otherwise, when the gene expression is inhibited, factors are called repressors and they bind to sequence –operator.

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA  

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex

Answer:

In the Sympathetic Nervous System PNS subdivision in which nerve injury would be the most dangerous for life.

Explanation:

In the Sympathetic Nervous System PNS subdivision in which nerve injury would be the most dangerous for life.

 It is important for survival to fight or respond to flight because it controls the physiological reaction to a risk or danger and this flight and flight response is activated by sympathetic nervous system. This system is a part of automatic nervous system and operated by various interconnected  neuron
