Explanation:
Fracking is the introduction of substances into a formation in order to increase they pore pressure and to increase natural drive of hydrocarbons.
Fracking has several environmental issues associated with it;
- Fracking leads to air pollution in case of blowout of gas pressure in formations, particles and dusts can become blasted into the environment.
- Proppants in fluids channeled into formations can lead to ground water contamination.
- In areas where fracking is done, there might be an exposure to harmful chemicals.
- Destruction of the natural habitats of animals.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>An increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in another protein with a longer amino acid sequence.</em>
<u>Exons are the coding part of a gene as opposed to introns. After transcription, the non-coding part of the gene - the introns - are removed by splicing and the exons are joined back together. The final RNA that will undergo translation consists of only exons. </u>
The longer the exons in a gene, the more the codons present in the corresponding mRNA from the gene, and the more the number of amino acids that would be translated from the mRNA. A longer amino acid chain would result in a different protein.
Hence, a mutation that causes an increase in the number of exons in a sequence of DNA would result in a different protein with a longer amino acid sequence.
Depends on what mountain you are on
If you are on Everest, then the amount of effective oxygen available would be 6.9% (0 altitude would be 20.9)
that is why anyone should always bring oxygen tanks when climbing a high mountain
Answer:
The correct option is 3. "At pH 6.5 the enyzme is 50% active"
Explanation:
For the titratable group to be protonated and cause the enzyme to be in the active state, it needs to have gained a hydrogen cation (H+). In order for that to happen, there must be enough hydrogen cations in the environment of the enzyme, and hence, an acidic pH is required in this case.
