<h2>Himalayas </h2>

Explanation:

  • Once, all the world’s landmass was connected, forming one super-continent known as Pangea
  • About 200 million years ago, tectonic forces broke apart this giant continent into pieces, eventually forming the continents that are known today
  • As convection currents worked independently on the plates associated with these new continental pieces, the plates and their respective continents began to drift across the globe to their present-day geographical locations
  • Eighty million years ago, India was approximately 6400 km south of the Eurasian plate, separating the two was the Tethys Sea
  • The Indo-Australian tectonic plate – containing the continent of Australia, the Indian subcontinent, and surrounding ocean – was pushed northward by the convection currents generated in the inner mantle
  • For millions of years, India made its way across the sea toward the Eurasian plate
  • As India approached Asia, around 40 million years ago, the Tethys Sea began to shrink and its seabed slowly pushed upwards
  • The Tethys Sea disappeared completely around 20 million years ago and sediments rising from its seabed formed a mountain range
  • When India and Tibet collided, instead of descending with the plate, the relatively light sedimentary and metamorphic rock that makes up the subcontinent of India pushed against Tibet, forcing it upwards, and created a massive mountain fold, The Himalayas
  • This process hasn’t stopped, the Indo-Australian plate is still moving toward Eurasia, still pushing Tibet upwards
  • The Himalayas continue to rise by an average of 2 cm each year and the highest mountains are only getting higher

Answer:

Q2->They all form acids when combined with hydrogen. They are all fairly toxic. They readily combine with metals to form salts.

Q3->Because their outermost orbit is complete.  In Mendeleev's original periodic table there was no place reserved for noble gas.  They were discovered in end of 19th century.  So Mendeleev created zero group without disturbing original periodic table.

Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to ________. Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to ________. relaxed pa
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;

1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.

2. A phosphate group.

3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.

The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;

I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.

II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.

Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and are responsible for condensing it to chromatin.

Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Transcription can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.
