Answer:

RNA interference

Explanation:

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is a naturally occurring mechanism in which regulatory non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) suppress gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The RNAi technique is used in molecular biology laboratories and biotechnology applications to reduce the expression of target genes by delivering small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules targeting a gene of interest. These siRNAs are artificially synthesized to bind by complementarity to the target mRNAs, thereby they can be used for transient gene silencing. This technique does not require genetic modification of the cells, since RNAi can be achieved by direct exogenous delivery of siRNAs.

Why is it incorrect to say the insulation 'keeps out the cold'
Sonja [21]
Because technically there is no such thing as cold
all that exists is heat
this is because heat is the rapid movement of particles, made by friction (to understand why you must delve into physics and some chemistry)
so, when you feel cold, it's really the absence of heat
so instead of "keeping the cold out", which makes no sense at all scientifically, insulation keeps the heat in.

as a side note
the feeling of cold is produced when you come in contact with an object (yes, air counts) that has less heat, or energy, than you do, You feel cold because heat (energy) from your body is being transferred to the environment. This ABSENCE OF HEAT in your body is why you feel cold

Where are the three seismographs used to find the epicenter of this earthquake located?
8090 [49]

Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. From that information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling. Knowing this helps them calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.

To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter. Where these three circles intersect is the epicenter.
