Answer:

Running water

Explanation:

The erosive agent of the Grand Canyon is the Colorado River, a fluvial erosion happens. The fact that the territory is higher, cause more precipitation in the drainage basin of the Colorado River. This greater amount of rainfall gives the stream greater speed, making it more erosive.

You have a novel virus that can kill mice when injected into them. This novel virus can transform a non-virulent virus, causing
Zanzabum

Answer:

The sample treated with RNase

Explanation:

According to this question, a novel virus was found which was capable of killing mice when injected into them and capable of making a nonvirulent virus to be virulent by transforming them.

After heat killing the novel virus, different samples were treated with either an RNase, a DNase, or a Proteinase. If the novel virus uses double-stranded RNA as its genetic material, the sample treated with RNase will no longer be capable of transforming the non-virulent strain. This is because RNase is a catalytic enzyme that degrades RNA, hence, the RNA will no longer be present to transform.

What is happening at the cellular level during a muscle cramp?
Romashka [77]

Muscle cramps are caused when the muscle takes longer than normal to relax after a contraction. During contraction, the myosin heads attach on their binding sites on the actin filament and pulls on the filament hence shortening the sarcomeres. For the myosin head to release its binding site on the actin filament, ATP attaches to an active site on the myosin and is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. This causes relaxation after a contraction cycle.  Cramps, therefore, may be due to depletion of ATP molecule in the muscles cells.

Another reason for cramps may be a high amount of calcium in the muscles that bind to troponin on the actin filaments. This exposes the myosin binding sites longer hence promotes the formation of cross-bridge even when the contraction of the muscle is not intended anymore.
