Why do you think weather scientists use percentages instead of saying “it will definitely rain today”?

Answer:

Right now, I am in college for climatology, but before I decided on climatology, I was taking classes in Meteorology, the study of weather. So, I will answer your question. All meteorologists like to be right, but since the weather is so spontaneous, it is really hard to be right. Meteorologists use percentages because it helps them be professional. Also, because, different parts of the region where they are may or may not get the rain. I don't know where you are from, but I will use my hometown. In McAlester, Oklahoma, there may be a 70% chance of rain, but in another part of the region at Tulsa, Oklahoma ( which is 91 miles north of McAlester) there may be a 40% chance of rain. The difference in the percentages can vary from how stable the environment is, altitude, location, and terrain. That is two of the reasons why Meteorologists use percentages to predict weather.

If there is no pressure to move water how does a puddle eventually disappear after a rainstorm ends

stepan [7]

Answer: A puddle will eventually disappear after a rainstorm ends due to evaporation. This is caused by the heat of the sun, which converts the liquid water into steam (a gas) and evaporates.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Valine-Leucine-Proline-Lysine-Histidine

Explanation:

The central dogma of biology is the process by which DNA is used to synthesize RNA and subsequently amino acid sequence (PROTEIN). The processes of transcription and translation is used in gene expression. Transcription is the process whereby the information encoded in a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. Transcription is catalyzed by RNA polymerase enzyme, which uses complementary base pairing rule i.e Adenine(A)-Thymine(T), Guanine(G)-Cytosine(C) pairing.

N.B: Thymine is replaced by Uracil in the mRNA

For the above DNA sequence: CAC GAC GGA TTC GTA, the mRNA sequence will be: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU

Translation is the second process of gene expression which involves the synthesis of an amino acid sequence from an mRNA molecule. The mRNA is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid (see attached image for genetic code)

Based on the attached genetic code, an mRNA sequence: GUG CUG CCU AAG CAU will encode an amino acid sequence: Valine(Val) - Leucine (Leu) -Proline (Pro) -Lysine (Lys) - Histidine (His).

GUG specifies Valine amino acid

CUG specifies Leucine amino acid

CCU specifies Proline amino acid

AAG specifies Lysine amino acid

CAU specifies Histidine amino acid
