The right answer is two generations.

5-Bromouracil has three tautomers that have different matching properties. The keto form is complementary to adenine, while one of the enol forms is complementary to guanine.

As a result, 5-bromouracil is likely to pair with both adenine and guanine depending on its tautomeric state at the time of replication, which introduces mutations as the replications. During the first replication the analogue will be incorporated in the DNA (in front of a T for example). At the second replication (second generation), the analogue will have a new base in front of it in function of its tautomic form (ie instead of having in front of a T it will have a C and a this moment the mutation becomes complete).

What is most likely to be the first organism to grow in a rock outcrop that has never been home to living organisms?
Yanka [14]

The question is referring to primary succession, which begins with the colonization of living organisms in an area that hasn't had any living organisms before.

This kind of succession begins with microorganisms, and plants such as lichens and mosses.

Given that a rock outcrop is a terrestrial environment, lichens (C) are most likely to be the firsts organisms.

How does a hot spot make a volcano?
Leni [432]
A hot spot is a region deep within the Earth's mantle from which heat rises through the process of convection. This heat facilitates the melting of rock. The melted rock, known as magma, often pushes through cracks in the crust to form volcanoes. ... Instead it occurs at abnormally hot centers known as mantle plumes.

Which substance should have its atmospheric concentrations reduced in
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. Sulfur

Explanation:

Acid rain is <u>the result of sulfur dioxide emissions combined with nitroxen oxides.</u> This occurs when both compounds interact with water and oxygen (and other molecules) that are already present in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon is extremely dangerous for both humans, fauna, and flora, especially when it comes to aquatic organisms. <u>Some freshwater fish species, for instance, are not able to grow or develop due to the increased pH. In other cases, when the pH is even lower, organisms are not able to cope and eventually die.</u>

Therefore, a reduction in atmospheric concentrations of sulfure could reduce acid rain and return rain to its normal pH.

The Moon's mass is lower than that of Earth, thus its gravity is ____ Earth’s gravity.
Evgesh-ka [11]
The Moon's mass is lower than that of Earth, thus it's gravity is less dense than Earth's gravity.

Since the strength and gradient of gravity is both mass and density it would be reasonable to think about mads
