A group of students are studying the waves generated by an earthquake. They observe that the waves on the seismograph point to a

location far away from the original earthquake. Which of these most likely causes the waves to point to a far off location?
bending of the waves at the crust
bending of the waves at the outer core
reflection of the waves at the Earth's core
reflection of the waves at the Earth's mantle

Answer: Option (B)

Explanation: The seismic waves namely P and S-waves travels through the interior of the earth, and P-waves propagates faster than S-waves. Both P and S waves undergoes reflection and refraction method.

When P-wave propagates through the mantle, due to its high velocity, it gets bend outward. This waves then reaches the core-mantle boundary, where the P-waves gets refracted inward through the outer core because of the increasing density. P waves can travel both in solid as well as liquid.

It is same in case of S-waves also, but it is comparatively slower than the P-wave, and this wave decreases with the increasing density and gets completely absorbed as they reach the outer core. S waves can travel only in solids.

This seismic waves when recorded on the seismograph during an earthquake, it depicts the changes that happens on the core-mantle boundary. So this data suggests that the waves undergoes bending at the outer core.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently as
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

1/64

Explanation:

<em>The probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles is 1/64.</em>

Since the three characters assort independently, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for all the three traits is an independent event.

For independent events, the probability of all the events happening together is the multiplication of individual event's probability.

For a cross involving two heterozygotes, taking tall/dwarf for example:

Tt   x   Tt = TT, 2Tt, tt

The probability of obtaining a homozygous dominant genotype is 1/4.

Hence, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles will be:

1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64

What is the term used to describe the twisted ladder shape of a DNA molecule
Nastasia [14]

Answer: double helix

Explanation: The double helix of DNA is, like its name implies, in the shape of a helix which is essentially a three dimensional spiral. The double comes from the fact that the helix is made of two long strands of DNA that are intertwined—sort of like a twisted ladder.

Ivan

Answer:

A.OSHA

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

Who mandates that employers of emergency responders must take certain measures to protect employees who are likely to be exposed to blood and other body​ fluids?

A.OSHA

B.UNICEF

C.CDC

D.USMLE

  • OSHA is the short form for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration  which is an agency of the  United States Department of Labor located in Washington D.C, USA.
  • The agency works to set and enforce standards for safe and healthy working environment for both men and women who work in private and public sectors.
  • The employers of OSHA have the responsibility to provide a safe workplace and ensure that no serious health hazards take place in the same.
  • Therefore the employers of emergency responders are mandated by OSHA to take measures to protect employees that are exposed to body fluids and blood.
