You find a section of sedimentary rock in which the strata and some fossils have been exposed. You notice that a clam fossil is

in deeper strata than a fish fossil and the strata does not seem to have been altered due to tectonic activity. Using relative dating, which fossil is most likely older?

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • Sedimentary rock is a rock that is formed from the igneous rocks by the process of weathering and erosion and this rock contains layers of sediments and them on being exposed forms various layers depending on the geologic history of the earth.
  • It is through the process of radiometric dating that the sedimentary rock is studied and the fossil records are found.
  • Thus That is classified into as siliciclastic, carbonate and evaporite, Iron-rich and phosphatic rocks. The fossils in these rocks are formed due to the transportation deposition of the ancient prehistoric animals and plants remains in them.  
  • Hence the depth of the rock layers of the rocks tells us of the rock type its age and the older the rock is the older will be its formation and the older will be its chemical constitution thus the calm fossil will be older as the sedimentary rock has preserved this as they are made up of shells and are hard.

Electricity from hydropower composes approximately ______% of the total electricity produced in the United States.
zepelin [54]

Electricity from hydropower composes approximately 6.5 % of the total electricity produced in the United States.

A dam or other construction that alters the natural flow of a river or other body of water is used to generate hydropower, often known as hydroelectric power.

One of the world's first forms of energy, hydropower produces power when moving water spins a turbine or wheel. As far back as ancient Greece, farmers utilized it for mechanical activities like grinding grain. Additionally a renewable energy source, hydropower doesn't emit any hazardous byproducts or pollute the environment. Discover more about the development of hydropower.

Predict the product sequence for DNA replication,transcription and translation process using DNA template of TATAATGAAGTTCCGAGGA
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

  • Replication: 3' ATATTACTTCAAGGCTCCTATC 5'
  • Transcription: 3' AUAUUACUUCAAGGCUCCUAUC 5'
  • Translation: AUA UUA CUU CAA GGC UCC UAU

Explanation:

First of all you need to know that DNA is formed by nitrogenous bases represented by letters (ATCG). The sequence that these letters present in the DNA are the basis for the establishment of the processes of replication, transition and translation. This is because these bases complement each other and make connections between themselves as follows:

  • Adenine (A) is complementary and makes connections with Timine (T) in DNA and with Uracil (U) in DNA and vice versa.
  • Guanine (G) connects and is complemented by cytosine (C) and vice versa.

Based on that, we can use the sequence 5'TATAATGAAGTTCCGAGGATAG-3 as a model for DNA replication we can say that the sequence of the new DNA strand would be 3 'ATATTACTTCAAGGCTCCTATC 5', since the new strand is built based on the complementarity of the bases nitrogenous.

This same sequence, when used in replication, for the formation of an RNA molecule, would also use the base complementarity, forming an RNA molecule with the sequence 3 'AUAUUACUUCAAGGCUCCUAUC 5'.

The translation, in turn, would use the RNA sequence to form the amino acids that would form a protein. Each amino acid would be formed by the joining of three nitrogenous bases of the RNA sequence, thus the protein would be formed by the amino acids AUA UUA CUU CAA GGC UCC UAU

Deserts are only found near the equator.<br> a. True<br> b. False
julia-pushkina [17]
