Answer:

The distance between them is changing at the speed of 10.16 m/hr

Explanation:

Consider the sketch attached below.

The question is simply asking to calculate the resultant of the two velocities.

To get the angle between them, we simply use the coordinates of the two vectors to determine the angle between them.  

90 + 45 = 135°

from the cosine rule we have

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcosθ

c^{2} = 6^{2} +5^{2} - 2 ×6×5×cos 135

c^{2} = 103.426

c = \sqrt{103.426}

c = 10.17 m/hr

The sequence of sub units in a protein is most directly dependent on the DNA in the chromosomes in a cell

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any life events that takes place in a cell depends upon the central dogma of life that is the DNA getting transcribed into RNA and the RNA getting translated into protein, therefore we can conclude that the sequences of amino acids are based on the sequences of DNA that are present inside the chromosomes that are packed in a nucleus of a  cell.
