What is the most likely reason that a moon is spherically shaped?

Biology
1 answer:
Montano1993 [528]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The size of the moon ensures that it has some considerable gravitational force associated with its mass. This is unlike asteroids that are not large enough to have significant gravitational forces associated with their relatively low mass. Therefore when the moon was molten in its early years of formation,  gravity due to its mass, caused materials to be pulled down towards its center.  The molten rock, before it cooled into solid rock,  got distributed more or less into a sphere because the force of gravity pulls from all sides from the center of mass.

1. During the lesson, you analyzed the DNA sequence of the housefly. For which of the following organisms would you expect the D
Blababa [14]

1. Answer;

Monkey

Explanation;

-Scientists can compare the DNA of two organisms; the more similar the DNA, the more closely related the organisms.DNA-DNA hybridization, this process hybridizes the genetic information from two different organisms to determine similarities between them.

-In this case the DNA of housefly, bettles , butterfly and grasshopper are very similar as they are closely related organisms.

Therefore; Monkey's DNA would be expected o be least similar to the housefly’s.


2. Answer;

The sample yields very little DNA, which means that it must be amplified to produce enough quantity to detect on a gel

Explanation;

-Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a technique used to take a piece of DNA and make many copies of it. This technique is very similar to the natural process which cells use to make new copies of DNA, but it is also a little different.

-PCR is a necessary step in the analysis of a DNA sample taken from a crime scene because the sample yields very little DNA, which means that it must be amplified to produce enough quantity to detect on a gel.

Which of the following would not inhibit micturition?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

C) relaxation of the internal urethal sphincter

Explanation:

The muscles that control micturition are controlled by the autonomic and somatic nervous systems.

Micturition is inhibited (storage phase, when bladder is at low volume)  when internal urethral sphincter are contracted and the detrusor muscle relaxed by sympathetic stimulation. During micturition, parasympathetic stimulation leads to the detrusor muscle  contraction and the internal urethral sphincter relaxation. The external urethral sphincter is under somatic control and is consciously relaxed during micturition.

What a vestigial structure? How does it support evolution?
atroni [7]
A vestigial structure is a structure that kind-of just "hangs out" in our bodies. We don't really need it, yet it is there. So, why is it there??? We probably needed it, for example, when we needed to digest plants. (Appendix) Some say that the appendix was used for digesting plants and berries, but it is really just speculation. We "evolved" to not need the appendix. 
Here are some other vestigial examples: wisdom teeth, tail bone, pelvic bone in a snake, and wings on a flightless bird. 
I hope this helped, if it did not let me know!!
I hope you have a fantastical day!!!XD
