cause the stem cuttings will spread like bulbs and its quicker.

The main reason that most farmers use stem cuttings rather than just planting a seed is that a tree's genetic variation will occur. The seeds of many fruit trees tend to vary differently from the parent, because seeds themselves are produced by sexual reproduction (i.e they receive genes from a male and female to form). As they are a cross from two sets of genes, many fruit trees are not “true to seed”. Their seeds will produce a generally different variety of tree from the parent. When using stem cuttings, it's almost like a cloning process.

1. the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle
2. I am not sure
3. Earth's mantle contained convection cells that dissipated radioactive heat and moved the crust at the surface
4. supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
5. the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the lithosphere) is divided into a couple of dozen "plates" that move around across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake.
6. Africa and South America.
7. I am not sure
8. a small area or region with a relatively hot temperature in comparison to its surroundings.
9. As the plate moves over a fixed spot deeper in the Earth where magma (molten lava) forms, a new volcano can punch through this plate and create an island. The Hawaiian Islands are believed to be formed from one such 'hot spot'.

What kind of atoms typically have unstable nuclei?

nikklg [1K]

B & D

Protons and neutrons are energy particles found in the nucleus of atoms.

Explanation:

The forces that hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus are called strong nuclear forces. These forces are attractive over short distances and repulsive over long distances. This is why protons that are positively charged are held together in the nucleus despite their repulsive tendencies. However, as the nucleus gets larger because of the larger number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, the distance with which the string nuclear forces are attractive is surpassed.

The binding energy in the nucleus will, therefore, be surpassed by the repulsive forces of strong nuclear forces over long distances causing the atomic nucleus to lose some neutrons.

Find a start signal, and write the amino acid sequence that is coded for. 5'...gccauguuuccgaguuaucccaaagauaaaaaagag...3'

Greeley [361]

The start signal is AUG which codes fo methionine. The amino acid sequence will be as follows: Met-Phe-Pro-Ser-Tyr-Pro-Lys-Asp-Lys-Lys-Glu. The first codon (GCC) codes for alanine but not in the amino acid sequence because it is not a start codon (the only start codon is AUG which codes for methionine).
