Which information is needed to construct a geomagnetic time scale?

Biology

AleksAgata [21]3 years ago

Answer:

the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field or geomagnetic field is believed to originate from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

During a period in which the earth magnetic field is normal, crystallising magnetic minerals in magma records the orientation of the prevailing geomagnetic field. At other times when the field reverses and the magnetic field orientation changes, magnetic minerals in cooling magma stores this record.

To create a geomagnetic time scale, geologists can assign absolute ages to the records of these paleomagnetic anomalies which are the reversals. The rock is dated using radiometric techniques and each period of reversal is ascribed an absolute geologic age. Therefore, the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth helps to build the geomagnetic time scale of the earth.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Lysozyme is an enzyme that breaks down bacterial cell walls and is found in your tears, mucus, and saliva. A mutation occurs in the gene for lysozyme that results in a lysine (a positively charged amino acid) being substituted for an arginine (also a positively charged amino acid). Do you think that the mutant lysozyme will function similarly to the normal lysozyme?

No, because all changes in protein primary sequence result in functional differences

Explanation:

Protein sequence are known to be complimentary to each other, slight changes or sudden changes would affect the function as well as those work in antagonizing way with one another.

Genetics, botany, and zoology are all parts of what subjects?
vfiekz [6]
Genetics, botany, and zoology are all parts of biology.
All of these sciences have to do with living things - genetics deals with how genes are passed from one individual to the offspring; botany deals with plants; zoology deals with animals. Biology encompasses all of these subjects.
