Answer:

DNA double strands are run in opposite direction  

Explanation:

The DNA is a macromolecule and is made of the polynucleotide. In a DNA, Polynucleotides are arranged in two strands or helices. The two strands are joined together by hydrogen bonds. Each stand has two ends. One end is called 5’ (5 prime) and the end is known as 3' (3 prime). The two stands in a DNA run in antiparallel or in an opposite direction. It means at one end, one strand is 3' and the other is 5' and at the other end one strand is 5' and another strand is 3'.

Are the anomalies the same thickness along all ridge segments Why or why not?<br> plz help :D
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The equivalent magnetization (EM) and mantle Bouguer anomaly (MBA) were calculated along the ultraslow-spreading Mohns Ridge axis in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. The magnetic anomaly and the associated EM were compared with the bathymetry, MBA, seismically determined crustal structure and geochemical data at both the inter-segment scale (>60 km) and the intra-segment scale (20–60 km). At the inter-segment scale, the magnetic highs at the segment centers are independent of the MBA. Of the 13 segments, 9 with magnetic anomalies >700 nT coincide with axial volcanic ridges identified from multibeam bathymetry maps, which suggests that the magnetic highs at the segment centers may be more associated with the extrusive lavas rather than the amount of magma supply. With few exceptions, the magnetic anomaly lows associated with MBA highs at the segment ends increase from south to north. This trend might be explained by thickened extrusive basalts and/or more serpentinized peridotites at the segment ends in the north. At the intra-segment scale, the most prominent features are the decreases in the magnetic anomalies and associated EMs from the segment centers to the ends. The intra-segment magnetic anomalies have positive and negative correlations with the bathymetry and MBA, respectively. The magnetic signal modeled by the seismically determined layer 2A with an assumed constant magnetization is remarkably consistent with the observed magnetic anomaly, which strongly suggests that the thickness of the extrusive basalts dominates the magnetic structure in each segment along the Mohns Ridge. In general, the thickness of the extrusive basalts dominates the magnetic structure along the Mohns Ridge, whereas the contributions from serpentinized peridotites may be significant at the segment ends and may produce long-wavelength magnetic variations. The magnetic data can be used as an indicator of the thickness of the extrusive basalts within segments along the ultraslow-spreading Mohns Ridge.

Which portion of the nasal cavity is lined with sebaceous and sweat glands and numerous hair follicles?
Semmy [17]

Vestibule portion of the nasal cavity is lined with sebaceous and sweat glands and numerous hair follicles.

<h3>What is vestibule?</h3>
  • A vestibule is a tiny room that leads into a larger space, like a lobby, entrance hall, or hallway.
  • It serves as a place to wait, block the view of the bigger space, stop heat loss, provide space for storing outside clothing, etc.
  • A vestibule is something like the tiny space outside the main bank where you enter and where the ATM is stored.
  • A vestibule is, for instance, the middle cavity of the inner ear that connects to the eardrum.
  • A vestibule is a little opening or chamber at a canal's start.
  • The urinary meatus (urethral opening) and the vaginal opening both open into the vulvar vestibule, which is a portion of the vulva between the labia minora.
