C ,The amount of water released through the dam and the dam's height account for the potential energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hoover dam in Nevada generate the electricity by the hydroelectric power . it is the form of energy. Its provides 96% of the renewable energy in the united states : it power comes from the water. When the water is falling on the turbine it experience the force of gravity.

It is used to turn turbine and generators that produce electricity; to generate electricity the water is in motion, it experiences the potential energy. When the blades turns it experiences the mechanical energy then into form to electrical energy. The potential energy is depends on the two factors that is mass of the dam and the height of the dam.

What is the significance of a recombinant plasmid?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

recombinant DNA

A strand of DNA formed by splicing DNA from 2 different organisms is called recombinant DNA

Explanation:

Using the techniques of recombinant DNA technology, certain enzymes known as restriction enzymes capable of cleaving double stranded DNA in the plasmid of bacteria genomes (other organisms like eukaryotes can also be used) are used to obtain specific sequences of DNA bearing desirable traits in the both organisms.

Once the two DNA fragments have been obtained, another enzyme known as DNA ligase is used to seal the point of splicing, thereby constructing a single DNA from the two organisms.

This single DNA is known as Recombinant DNA

The following image shows a cell before and during the process of mitosis. Before it undergoes mitosis, the cell contains 2n chr
svlad2 [7]

The correct answer is B: The cells will have 2n chromosomes and be diploid.

Diploid cell have two of each chromosome, one from each parent. When diploid cell undergoes mitosis, the result is two identical diploid cells (when haploid cell undergoes mitosis the result is haploid cell). This means that during the mitosis, cells reproduce genetically identical copies of themselves.

Damage to a brain area called the _____ would MOST likely interfere with learning a conditioned fear response to the sight of a
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The options

A)hippocampus

B)basal ganglia

C)hypothalamus

D)cerebellum

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D)

D)cerebellum

Explanation:

Apart from the coordinating process, the cerebellum is involved in motor learning, emotional behavior, and fear memory.

Fear learning is widely shown in the variation of autonomic and somatic responses, as in heart rate and freezing, promoted by a neutral stimulus which could have been formally grouped with a painful one.

Variation or changes of the vermis influences these responses, and its reversible inactivation in the period of consolidation which is seen to impair fear memory.

The neural correlate of cerebellar activities in fear consolidation is shown by a behaviorally promoted long-term rise of synaptic effectiveness and efficiencies among parallel fibers and a Purkinje cell.

Likely synaptic variations after fear conditioning are well fully observed in the amygdala and hippocampus, suggesting an interplay among emotional circumstances of scenario and the different variations in neural process.

Furthermore, in hotfoot mice, that shows a basic lack of parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse, short- and long-term fear memories are influenced.

All these data gives a foundational background on the concept that the cerebellum is majorly involved in fear learning.

The functional interplay of the vermis with hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus do infer to a more complex activities of the cerebellum as a form of an united network that basically influences emotional behavior.

netineya [11]
F508

it changes the composition of the DNA

DNA is chiefly responsible for storing and transferring genetic information whereas RNA acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes during the process of protein synthesis and directly codes for amino acids.

DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded.

DNA has thymine in its structure but RNA does not. Instead in place of thymine it has uracil.
