The shadow zone is the area of the earth from angular distances of 104 to 140 degrees from a given earthquake that does not receive any direct P waves. The shadow zone results from S waves being stopped entirely by the liquid core and P waves being bent (refracted) by the liquid core.

Which is an example of complementary base pairing in DNA?
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>Attached to each sugar ring is a </span>nucleotide base<span>, one of the four bases </span>Adenine<span> (A), </span>Guanine<span> (G), </span>Cytosine<span> (C), and </span>Thymine<span> (T). The first two (A, G) are examples of a   </span>purine<span> which contains a six atom ring and five atom ring sharing two atoms. The second two (C, T) are examples of a </span>pyrimidine<span> which is composed of a single six atom ring. A </span>base pair<span> is one of the pairs A-T or C-G. Notice that each base pair consists of a purine and a pyrimidine. The nucleotides in a base pair are   </span>complementary<span> which means their shape allows them to bond together with </span>hydrogen bonds<span>. The A-T pair forms two hydrogen bonds. The C-G pair forms three. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together. Hydrogen bonds are not chemical bonds. They can be easily disrupted. This permits the DNA strands to separate for </span>transcription<span> (copying DNA to RNA) and </span>replication<span> (copying DNA to DNA). In our simple model, the entire base pair structure is represented by the single blue rod. Various more elaborate models can be constructed to represent base pairs, including the one above which shows individual atoms and bonds.</span>

What objects could we find in the stratosphere​
Sonja [21]

What objects can you find in the stratosphere?: The stratosphere extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground. The infamous ozone layer is found within the stratosphere. Ozone molecules in this layer absorb high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun, converting the UV energy into heat.

Symmetry is when one half of an object looks exactly like the other half. Symmetry can also be known as a reflection or a mirror. the halves look exactly the same even if you flip it, turn it, or slide it. For example, one half of a butterfly looks exactly the same as the other half. As well as a lobster, dog, snake, etc.
