Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is the upper part of the mantle and this region is just below the lithosphere. The lithospheric plates are divided into 2 types, namely the continental crust and the oceanic crust. These plates moves over this layer of asthenosphere due to the generation of the convection current in the mantle. This currents also forces the asthenosphere to move considerably at a slower rate. This convection current is formed due to the heat radiated from the core (interior) of the earth. The core of the earth is comprised of the denser and molten rocks such as iron and nickel. The rocks in the asthenosphere are solid in nature, but they have the ability to move during deformation.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Given the DNA template strand 3\' AACAGACAG 5\', write the amino acid sequence in the N-terminal to C-terminal direction. Use th
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: The amino acid sequence is Leu-Ser-Val

Explanation: To produce amino acids, the DNA has to "transform" itself into a RNA by a process called Transcription. In this process, part of the DNA is transcribed into a similar RNA. The RNA produced undergoes another process, called Translation. From it, the sequence is decoded to a specific polypetide, as shown in this case. In the Translation, each 3 bases corresnpond to 1 amino acid. Because of it, the sequence above has 3 amino acids.

The N-terminal and C-terminal relates to the part where the sequence start to be read and the end of the process. Normally, the sequence starts at the 5', which correspond to the N-terminal and finishes at the 3', which matches the C-terminal. So in this example, the DNA template read 5\'GACAGACAA 3\'.

71. Chloroform is a liquid once used for anesthetic. What is the volume of 5.0 g of chloroform. The density of chloroform is 1.4
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Volume, V = 3.35 mL

Explanation:

Given that,

The density of chloroform is 1.49 g/mL

We need to find the volume of 5.0 g of chloroform. Let V is its volume.

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{5\ g}{1.49\ g/mL}\\\\V=3.35\ mL

So, the volume of 5 g of chloroform is 3.35 mL.
