Does grain size determine the porosity of a sediment type?

Biology
1 answer:
aleksklad [387]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

In sediments or sedimentary rocks the porosity depends on grain size, the shapes of the grains, and the degree of sorting, and the degree of cementation. Well-rounded coarse-grained sediments usually have higher porosity than fine-grained sediments, because the grains do not fit together well

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations.....? would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene? -a base s
Svet_ta [14]
The answer is <span>a frameshift deletion at the beginning of the gene.

The frameshift deletion means that due to the deletion, the reading frame will be changed. Because of this, changed mRNA will be synthesized and translated into altered protein. It is known that codon is a triplet (a set of three nucleotides), that code for certain amino acid. The earlier in the sequence the deletion occurs, the protein will be more severely affected.
For example, if codons on RNA are THE BIG BAD DOG and the frameshift deletion happens on the first triplet (earlier in the sequence), the changed sequence will be  TEB IGB ADD OG. If </span>the frameshift deletion happens on the third triplet (later in the sequence), <span>the changed sequence will be THE BIG ADD OG.</span> This way, if the<span> frameshift deletion occurs at the beginning of the gene,</span> the more codons will be changed and in turn, they will code different amino acids.

Nitrates are made by converting ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2-) and then to nitrate (NO3-). What do you predict the O2 levels in
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Low - The generation of nitrates (NO 3-) requires oxygen, so the oxygen levels will be low

Explanation:

Nitrates are formed when the ammonia react with oxygen present in water. The oxygen which react with ammonia is not the oxygen of water molecule, it is the dissolved oxygen. This oxygen is used by aquatic animals for breathing. If nitrates are formed so the concentration of dissolved oxygen will be lowered which causes suffocation and bad impact on marine organisms and the whole ecosystem will be disturbed.
