Question 1
This is a fascinating topic. Tectonic plates can be thought of something that is an enlarged form of a kitchen plate. When two of these huge plates meet, one forces another to go lower into the earth's mantle (a below surface geologic location made of rocks and molten (soupy or liquid) rocks.
This process of one plate forcing another to go lower is called subduction. The rocks grind away on each other. They are subjected to 6 different forces, the most common of which are friction, compression and folding. Add heat and you get metamorphic rock. It's like a kitchen recipe but on a much bigger scale. That's the cook's tour of Metamorphic rock.
Question 2
Mechanical weathering is a process similar to what is written above. If the sea pounds against the shore, eventually the rock will break down. Where I live, if water gets into a rock's cracks, when it freezes and the ice expands it will eventually break the rock apart. In short, big rocks become little pebbles.
Chemical weathering: water and minerals combine to react with the minerals contained in rocks. I'm not well versed in this area, so I'm not sure I could give you a good example other than this one. One of the biproducts of refining oil is sulfur dioxide, especially with Alberta oil which is very "heavy" and tar like. This combines with water to produce H2SO3 which is not an extremely strong acid, but it is still an acid. It can react with the minerals in a rock and you have the break down of a rock.
Answer:
The tRNA would be unable to read the mRNA CODON, and will be unable to carry its corresponding amino acid
Explanation:
Protein synthesis occurs in two major stages; transcription and translation. Transcription involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule while translation involves reading the sequence of the mRNA in order to synthesize amino acids that forms protein. Let's look at translation in details. Translation occurs with the help of a type of RNA molecule called transfer RNA (tRNA) present in the RIBOSOME (site of protein synthesis).
The tRNA possesses a group of three nucleotides called ANTICODON, which it uses to read the mRNA codon that is complementary to it i.e. an anticodon UAC will read mRNA codon AUG. The tRNA binds to the mRNA molecule in order to assess its nuceleotide sequence. Once, a complementary anticodon succesfully reads a particular mRNA codon, it carries the amino acid encoded by the mRNA codon it reads to the growing polypeptide chain. This is the normal translation process.
However, as stated in the question, that if a wrong anticidon successfully binds to a codon. This means that the anticodon that binds to the mRNA codon is not complementary to it. What would happen in this case is that the Anticodon will be unable to read that particular codon it binds to because the complementary base pairing rule is used to read i.e. A-U, G-C. Once, the anticodon cannot read the mRNA codon, the tRNA will also be unable to carry the amino acid that is encoded by that CODON.
Answer:
The answer is "false".
Explanation:
The desert is identified as just an area of less receiving rainfall like 10 inches, or 25 cm, per year. Though most of us believe that the deserts or areas who don't get a lot of rain, it can take the form of rain or snow.
In the spring season, like October and November, when the desert receives heavy rain, unexpected flowering of the flowers under the soil can appear, that's why the given statement is false.
In biology, a spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersal and surviving for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many bacteria, plants, algae, fungi and some protozoa
