Why do scientists think Earth's core contains iron?​

Biology
2 answers:
Leto [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<u>Scientists have confirmed that iron is present in the earth's core by observing the seismological data and the pattern of the earth's magnetic field</u>.

Iron is a high-density element and is concentrated in huge amounts at the core. This iron has been present right from the time of earth's formation and has been probably there due to its gravitational force.

The seismic P-wave and S wave-wave propagation behavior within the interior of the earth depicted the presence of an inner core (solid) and an outer core (liquid) composed of iron and the temperature in this region is very high.

Hello There!

Scientists think that the earths core contains iron because they have inferred that the core is iron by conducting seismic experiments. The magnetic field is also a strong clue.

Below is a fragment of a DNA strand. A single primer is pictured below the strand in the gray box. 3'-ATACGACTAGTCGGGACCATATC-5'
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: 5'-TATGCTGATCAGCCCTGGTATAG-3'

Explanation:

DNA consists of 4 nucleotides; Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G), which serve as it's building block. The nucleotides are linked by 3', 5' phosphodiester bonds.

Phosphodiester bonds are bonds that join two nucleotides together.

Guanine (G) which always pairs with Cytosine (C) and Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T). Percentage of A usually equals that of T while that of C usually equals G. This is known as Chargaff's rule.

So, to write the sequence of the complementary strand, you interchange the nucleotides with their corresponding partner.

Which of the following best describes the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells?
evablogger [386]
<span>2. Different kinds of eukaryotes have different numbers of chromosomes.</span>

There are differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells. This difference is considered to be the most important distinction between groups of organisms. A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today. 
A Eukaryotic cell contains a nucleus; more than one chromosome and is typically a multi-celled organism.  Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells.
