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.

What is DNA, and how does it function in cells?
Tom [10]
DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and floats around in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. DNA produces blueprints which RNA carry out to ribosomes to code for protein. You can say that DNA passes genetic material through generations.

How do identify veins in our body​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Veins are blood vessels in humans, and most other animals that carry blood towards the heart. Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. In contrast to veins, arteries carry blood away from the heart.

The process shown here is called ____. The resulting offspring, Dolly, would be genetically identical to the ____. This is becau
Mama L [17]

Answer:

cloning, Finn-Dorset, DNA, nucleus

Explanation:

So basically what they're doing here is they're taking the cytoplasm of a cell of the Scottish Blackface sheep (maybe a lamb?, whatever)/removing the nucleus inside that cell and instead inserting the nucleus of the Finn-Dorset sheep. Then they insert that "integrated" cell (so to speak) into a surrogate ewe so that the blastocyst can evolve and develop into Dolly (the lamb/sheep).

The process is cloning. The resulting offspring would be genetically identical to the Finn-Dorset (sheep/lamb) b/c the nucleus is coming from that sheep & the nucleus has the genetic material (DNA).  Hope ya found this helpful :)

P.S. Oh yeah, and thanks for the fifty points (hopefully)

An 80-meter sequoia tree is in the forest. What is most likely the age of the tree?
balandron [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "1,200 years".

Explanation:

The giant sequoia (<em>Sequoiadendron giganteum</em>) are the most massive trees in the world, and the tallest is one sequoia called "General Sherman" with a height of  83.8 m. "General Sherman" is estimated to be 2,000 years old, and is estimated that a sequoia tree can live up to 3,500 years. Therefore, an 80-meter sequoia tree in the forest most likely will have more than 1,000 years.
