The Earth remained a frozen snow ball until carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increased. Why did carbon dioxide from the v

Answer:

Because the land surface was then largely covered in ice, continental weathering effectively ceased. This locked the planet into a 'Snowball Earth' state until carbon dioxide released from ongoing volcanic activity warmed the atmosphere sufficiently to rapidly melt the ice cover. This model does not, however, explain one of the most puzzling features of this rapid deglaciation; namely the global formation of hundreds of metres thick deposits known as 'cap carbonates', in warm waters after Snowball Earth events.

The Southampton-led research, published in Nature Geoscience, now offers an explanation for these major changes in ocean chemistry.

Lead author of the study Dr Tom Gernon, Lecturer in Earth Science at the University of Southampton, said: "When volcanic material is deposited in the oceans it undergoes very rapid and profound chemical alteration that impacts the biogeochemistry of the oceans. We find that many geological and geochemical phenomena associated with Snowball Earth are consistent with extensive submarine volcanism along shallo

The DNA sequence AGGCTTCGCGAAGGTAAC would code for the sequence of 6 amino acids.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Amino acids are coded from the DNA sequence in groups of three bases, that is, three bases (three letter codes) also called codon codes for (or specifies) an Amino acid.

in the above DNA sequence each of the prospective 6 Amino acids will each require a triplet of bases. Thus, the simple calculation of 6×3 yields 18. Thus we need at least 18 bases in our DNA sequence, barring stop codon, to code for Amino acids.

Counting, the above DNA sequence contains 18 bases exactly.
