The correct answer is A.

Explanation

The image shows a map with the tectonic plates of the earth and four points are marked with the letters from A to D. The letter A indicates the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indian plate. The letter B indicates the border zone between Russia and the United States, however, there is no plate collision. The letter C marks are on the coast of Antarctica, but there is no collision between two plates. The letter D indicates an area on the equator, but it is not located on any plate collision. Therefore, the correct answer is A that shows the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indian plate where the great mountain chain of the Himalayas is formed where Mount Everest is located, the highest in the world with its summit at 8,849 meters above sea level. This is because many of the great mountain ranges of the world originate from the collision of plates such as the Andes and the Himalayas.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Quedan 7.317 kilogramos de oxígeno en el balón y se extraen 4.683 kilogramos de oxígeno en el proceso.

Explanation:

Asúmase que el balón es rígido. Supongamos que el oxígeno se comporta como un gas ideal, entonces la ecuación de estado es la siguiente:

$P\cdot V = \frac{m\cdot R_{u}\cdot T}{M}$ (1)

Donde:

$P$ - Presión, medida en atmósferas.

$V$ - Volumen, medido en litros.

$m$ - Masa, medida en kilogramos.

$M$ - Masa molar, medida en kilogramos por kilomol.

$T$ - Temperatura, medida en Kelvin.

$R_{u}$ - Constante de los gases ideales, medida en atmósfera-litros por kilomol-Kelvin.

El aire experimenta un proceso isocórico e isotérmico, entonces obtenemos la siguiente relación:

$\frac{P_{1}}{m_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{m_{2}}$ (2)

Nótese que los subíndices 1 y 2 representan los estados inicial y final de proceso.

Si sabemos que $P_{1} = 41\,atm$ , $m_{1} = 12\,kg$ y $P_{2} = 25\,atm$ , entonces la masa final del aire es:

$m_{2} = \frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} \cdot m_{1}$

$m_{2} = \left(\frac{25\,atm}{41\,atm}\right)\cdot (12\,kg)$

$m_{2} = 7.317\,kg$

La masa que se ha extraído del balón es:

$\Delta m = m_{1}-m_{2}$

$\Delta m = 12\,kg-7.317\,kg$

$\Delta m = 4.683\,kg$

Quedan 7.317 kilogramos de oxígeno en el balón y se extraen 4.683 kilogramos de oxígeno en el proceso.

What is the number of helixes in a double chromosome? What is a centromere, and what is a homologous pair? What is the end resul

fgiga [73]

1) Four Helixes in a double chromosome [ 2 for each strand ]

2) Centromere is the region of a chromosome to which the microtubules of the spindle attach, via the kinetochore, during cell division.

3) A homologous pair is a pair of chromosomes containing a maternal and paternal chromatid joined to together at the centromere

4) End result = 12 pair of chromosome which is unindentical to each other.

5) Crossing over is the exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring.

Crossing over occurs during prophase I in nucleus of the cell [ as it is operation of chromosomes ]

Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity. So, it is so important for Genetic diversity

Hope this helps!
