A Mercator projection map shows?

Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.

Answer:

Navigation or locations with  constant true bearing

Explanation:

Mercator maps are maps that are used for projecting the world on a piece of paper that has certain number of parallel horizontal and vertical parallel lines. Therefore, exact location of any point can be derived from such maps in terms of constant geographical bearings. The parallel lines are called latitude and the vertical lines are called longitude.

What does each mrna molecule that goes to the ribosomes dictate
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

mRNA or messenger RNA goes to ribosomes to dictate the genetic information that it contains .

Explanation:

Ribosomes act as work benches during protein biosynthesis.mRNA also called messenger RNA binds with the smaller subunit of ribosome at the time of translation.

       The bound subunit of ribosome reads the genetic information as codons containing three concecuetive nucleotides present in mRNA thus helping tRNA to bring the particular amino acid specific for that codon at the A site or attachment site of ribosome.

      Thereafter ribosome moves to the next codon to bring another amino acid and so forth.

       Thus mRNA helps ribosome to brings the amino acids at the translation site.
