Biology
1 answer:
lisov135 [29]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

DNA

Explanation:

Prions are infectious agents. Unlike viruses, bacteria and other infectious agents. A prion is only composed of amino acids (forming proteins) and has no genetic material. Prions cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy or also known as "mad cow disease". Prions are spread by the transmission of abnormally folded proteins. When a prion enters a healthy organism, it acts on the normal form of the same type of protein in the organism, modifying it and converting it into prion. This is transmitted replicating shapes in a chain reaction.

I need to know what physical weathering and chemical weathering is for a science project!
Oksana_A [137]
Ok ok no fret im here to help as best as i can :)
Weathering is a process that breaks down or changes rocks into smaller pieces. Various atmospheric aspects are responsible for weathering processes. Weathering is different from erosion. Erosion is the movement of rock pieces and sediment from one area to another. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and erosion is a wearing away of rocks. There are two main types of weathering: physical (or mechanical) weathering and chemical weathering. Quite often, both forms of weathering will occur together

Physical weathering is also known as mechanical weathering. This type of weathering occurs when rocks and other landforms are broken down by physical factors in the environment. These physical factors include wind, water, sun, ice and temperature changes

Mitochondrial DNA can be traced for generations. It is because of the fact that   unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA rarely gets mutated. The frequency of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA is approximately one every 3,500 years per nucleotide. That is why mitochondrial DNA of a person is almost similar to his/her direct maternal ancestor. So, it can be used to match lineages amongst people.
