Biology
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A. 1000

Explanation:

The Richter scale is a scale of numbers used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake, which is based on the size of its seismic waves. This scale indicates a number to quantify the total seismic energy released by an​ earthquake. The Richter magnitude scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, thereby a difference of one (1) point in the scale of magnitude corresponds to a 10-fold increase in amplitude. For example, based on the Richter scale, a magnitude-8 earthquake is 100 times greater than a magnitude-6 and 1000 times greater in amplitude than a magnitude-5.

How is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
professor190 [17]

Answer: 1) Recessive allele is unable to express its effect in the presence of dominant allele WHILE a dominant allele is able to express itself even in the presence of its recessive allele.

2) Recessive allele produces its phenotypic effect only in the presence of a similar allele. E.g; tt is dwarf. WHILE a dominant allele does not require another similar allele to produce its effect on the phenotype. E.g; Tt is tall.

3) Recessive allele forms a defective polypeptide or enzyme so that the expression consists of absence of the effect of dominant allele. E.g; white flower colour in Pea. WHILE a dominant allele can form a complete polypeptide or enzyme for expressing its effects. E.g; red colour of flower in Pea.
