Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller particles as a result of physical and chemical changes that are occurring in them. There are three major types of weathering these are: physical, chemical and biological weathering.
For the question given above, the type of weathering that is occurring in the picture of the given rock is PHYSICAL WEATHERING.
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which the affected rock is changed in size and shape by means of some agents. The broken particles are usually of the same composition as the parent rock. The agents of physical weathering include: ice, plant roots, animal activities, abrasion and exfoliation. Physically weathered rocks are usually round in shape as a result of the abrasion process which they have undergone.<span />
Answer:
Re-producing sexually will allow the sea anemones to give their offspring a more diverse gene pool and can mitigate the risks of a genetic disorder being spread to the offspring because the bad gene has a higher chance become recessive if the gene of the anemone it mates with is more dominant (meaning it wouldn't allow the "bad" gene to show in the offspring) whereas otherwise, the offspring would have the same issues the mother did (assuming it had a bad gene to begin with).
Answer:
In this case, it is likely that the polypeptide chain assumed an alpha helix configuration because the lipid bilayer did not have beta-barrel proteins.
Explanation:
A polypeptide chain is naturally polar, however, a lipid bilayer is naturally non-polar. This makes it difficult and even prevents the polypeptide chain from crossing a lipid bilayer, since the composition of these two elements does not allow them to mix. In that case, the polypeptide chain has two options to take to successfully cross the lipid bilayer.
The first option that the polypeptide chain has is to allow the creation of twisted beta sheets in the shape of a closed barrel in its structure. This only works if the lipid bilayer has beta barrel proteins in its composition to act as a transport channel for the polypeptide chain. However, few lipid layers have this protein.
Most likely, the polypeptide chain assumes an alpha helix conformation to cross lipid bilayers that do not have beta-barrel proteins. By assuming the beta conformation, the polypeptide chain reinforces the hydrogen bonds present in its composition, allowing it to cross the lipid bilayer without having its conformation and structure disassembled.
Answer:
According to the image, the approximate QT interval is 0.4 seconds.
Explanation:
The QT interval is the space between the beginning of the QRS complex and the end of the T wave, which represents from the beginning of depolarization to ventricular repolarization.
Considering that the extandardized measurements of an EKG, where the paper circulates at a speed of 25 mm/s, 1 mm horizontal —measuring time— has an equivalence of 0.04 s.
In the image, there is 10 mm between the beginning of the QRS and the end of the T wave, so:
0.04 seconds X 10 mm = 0.4 seconds.
Then, the estimated QT interval is 0.4 seconds.
Question continuation;
..........type B. Type A is found to be more common in the mainland population from which the island was settled.
How could a geneticist best explain the dominance of blood type B in the island population?
Multiple choices;
A. Random mutations have occurred in the island population.
B. Genetic drift has reduced the frequency of type A individuals.
C. Natural selection has only occurred in the mainland population.
D. Environmental conditions on the island are less favorable for type B individuals.
Answer;
B. Genetic drift has reduced the frequency of type A individuals.
Explanation;
-Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance.
-It occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.
