What is El Niño?

Biology
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
5 0

El Niño: an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late December.

La Niña: a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific, which occurs at irregular intervals, and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less extensive and damaging in their effects.

how they differ: La Niña is sometimes referred to as the cold phase of ENSO and El Niño as the warm phase of ENSO. These deviations from normal surface temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on ocean processes, but also on global weather and climate. ... Typically, El Niño occurs more frequently than La Niña.

Which kind of of electrical charge is found on a hydrogen atom of a polar water molecule? A. A negative charge, because of a cov
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

D. A positive charge, because of a covalent bond with oxygen

Explanation:

A water molecule contain both hydrogen and oxygen atom. Water is a polar molecule because it has positive electric charge in one of it's poles and negative charge on the other. The hydrogen is positively charged and the oxygen is negatively charged which are bonded by covalent bond. Hydrogen is positively charged because it cannot attract electrons strongly like oxygen which is positively charged. There is unequal sharing of electrons in water molecules and this is why oxygen is slightly negative and hydrogen is slightly positive.

Given the gene sequence GGACCGTCGATCTTC, which of the following choices would represent an inversion mutation? A. GGACTCGATCTTC
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D. GGACCGTCGATCCTT

Explanation:

Mutation refers to any change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs. According to the question, an INVERSION mutation is a type of mutation in which a segment of a gene gets broken off and reattached in another way on the same DNA. Hence, the only change in inversion mutation is the arrangement of the nucleotide bases on the gene.

Considering the nucleotide sequence: GGACCGTCGATCTTC, the sequence that describes an occurrence of inversion mutation is: GGACCGTCGATCCTT because the segment TTC in the original sequence has been rearranged as CTT in the mutated sequence.
