1 answer:

Weathering causes the granite to break down into small particles - sand. The sand becomes buried and compacts into sandstone. If the sandstone continues to be buried and comes into close contact with high heat, such as magma, it can be turned into quartzite.

Which of the following strands is the correct complement to the strand ATC-GTC-CCA

Basile [38]

Answer: The correct complementary DNA sequence for the given sequence is D. TAG-CAG-GGT.

DNA contains nucleotide pairs on a sugar phosphate backbone. The nucleotide pairs are connected by hydrogen bonds and each nucleotide pairs with only one other nucleotide. The bases are of two types: purine and pyrimidine. The purine bases bond only to pyrimidine bases. The base pairing follows Chargaff’s rule where adenine forms a pair with thymine by two hydrogen bonds and Guanine forms a bond with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds between them.

It is true that on the Galapagos islands Darwin observed tortoises with a dome and saddle shaped shells, you can see both in attached image.

Darwin observed that Galapagos Tortoises had the shells with different shapes depending on the Island they live, For example: The tortoises with saddle shaped shells were able to reach up to eat leaves of plants while the tortoises with dome shaped shells would not reach up and they would eat food from on ground sources. This made him think that the differences in tortoise shell is also a strong evidence that indicates that how tortoises have adapted themselves to better get their food as per the available resources and how they have evolved from same ancestral specie into two different species. This point also helped him in proposing the theory of evolution by natural selection.

Hope it helps!

What purpose is served by the loss of an -H and -OH end from two molecules as they join together during dehydration synthesis

makkiz [27]

The loss of the hydrogen on one molecule produces a negative charge, which is attracted to the positive charge formed by the loss of the hydroxy group from the other molecule.
