Based on the text, why might the California's Division of Safety of Dams have

Vikki [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

To limit the potential flooding damage that could result if an  earthquake happens and the dam spills over

Explanation:

According to the text, seismic risks are very high for dams in that region. One of the reasons is that some of the dams were built many years ago when civil engineers didn't have information about what an earthquake could do to dams.

Citing an occurrence that happened in 1899 as an example where thousands of people were killed as a result of a failed dam, it is feared that should same reoccur, the loss may be more because about 300,000 people occupy the flood zone along the Alameda Creek below the dam.

Cheers!

maxonik [38]

The right answers are:

A-present in eukaryotic genomes ==> Both exons and introns

B-generally absent from bacterial genomes ==> Introns

C-part of the final mRNA strand ==> Exons

D-code for an amino acid sequence ==> Exons

E-removed from initial mRNA strand prior to translation ==> Introns

F-present in the DNA used as the template for transcription ==> Both exons and introns

In the genes of eukaryotic organisms, the exons are the segments of an RNA precursor that are conserved in the RNA after splicing and that are found in mature RNA in the cytoplasm. The segments of the RNA precursor that are removed during splicing are called in opposition to introns. Exons are mainly found in messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encoding proteins. Some mRNAs may sometimes undergo an alternative splicing process in which one or more exons may be excised or some introns preserved in rare cases.

You own a winery in Napa Valley. An assistant accidentally leaves the lid for a vat of wine slightly ajar. Would the yeast insid
anastassius [24]

<span>When the lid for a vat of wine is slightly open, the yeast inside can continue to perform alcoholic fermentation because the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast during fermentation will act as a blanket over the wine.  Nevertheless, the air around the fermenter must be still and enough carbon dioxide should be produced to continue alcoholic fermentation. However, at some point, carbon dioxide will fall and can no longer protect the wine. This is the right time to get your wine covered before it will be vulnerable to undesirable microorganisms. </span>

Therefore, open fermentation is good in the early stages of fermentation because yeast need oxygen to synthesize sterols and assimilate fatty acids to ensure the nutrients it needs to multiply and ferment the 70% of the sugar from the fruit. Furthermore, the yeast is responsible in decomposing sugar from the grapes into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
