The answer is Up because in a reverse fault, compression (plates crashing together) it causes the hanging wall to move up.

Answer:

Vertically

Explanation:

A fault is a rupture or fracture in the earth's crust (outer layer). The Earth's crust moves along these faults, in the case of reverse faults that movement occurs vertically, the earth on one side moves up and over the other side, I annexed an image to illustrate this motion. This kind of fault motion is caused by compressional forces and results in shortening.

I hope you find this information usefun and interesting! Good luck!

List some of the beneficial applications of transgenic bacteria, plants, and animals.

kupik [55]

Answer:

Transgenic organism are the genetically modified organisms on their molecular level by altering their gene to improve the particular quality that is related to the particular gene in the organisms. It can be perform in bacteria, plants and animals, the produced organisms called transgenic organisms. The beneficial applications of such organism are given as follows:

Transgenic bacteria: these bacteria are first organisms to be genetically modified and used for several functions such as human proteins, producing material plastics and many more.

Transgenic plants: such genetically modified plants can be used to enhance food quality and quantity, to make pest resistant breed and increase the extreme condition tolerance and many more.

Transgenic animals: they are used to improve the quality of food supply, improve medicines and research purposes and many more applications.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - mycobacterium, and streptomyces.

Explanation:

Actinobacteria is a phylum that consists of a group of gram-positive bacteria with cytosine and guanine content in their DNA. These bacteria can be aquatic or land bacteria. Actinobacteria do not have cell wall however they make a non-sptate and mycelium.

Mycobacterium is one of the genera of the actinobacterium phylum. This genus includes pathogenic species in it that cause deadly diseases in humans and other mammals such as leprosy and tuberculosis Whereas streptomyces is another genus of the actinobacteria that is yielded the very first drug to fight with the ancient scourge.

Thus, the correct answer is - mycobacterium and streptomyces.
