Why is it important to have maps of the ocean floor, such as those gathered with SeaBeam technology

Biology
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
8 0

Since oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, understanding what the seafloor looks like, and where different processes, such as ocean currents are active, is hugely important. Mapping the seafloor helps to work out things like where different types of fish live, where resources may be, such as rare metals and fossil fuels, and whether there is a risk of underwater landslides happening that might cause a tsunami. Mapping the seafloor is very challenging, because some cannot use the same techniques that some would use on land. To map the deep ocean, there's a tool used called a multibeam echo-sounder, which is attached to a ship or a submarine vessel.

Sometimes the sequence of dna gets mutated and an adenine is paired to a cytosine. Why is this interaction unstable?
kirza4 [7]

Answer;

-Because the chemical groups that form hydrogen bonds are in the wrong positions.

Explanation;

-A base pair is any of the pairs of nucleotides connecting the complementary strands of a molecule of DNA or RNA and consisting of a purine linked to a pyrimidine by hydrogen bonds.

-The base pairs are adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine in DNA, and adenine-uracil and guanine-cytosine in RNA or in hybrid DNA-RNA pairing. A mutation in the sequence of DNA that makes an adenine to be paired with a cytosine results to an unstable interaction because the chemical groups that form hydrogen bonds are in the wrong positions.

How do lethal genes cause death in unborn babies and later after birth?​
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Recessive lethal genes can code for either dominant or recessive traits, but they do not actually cause death unless an organism carries two copies of the lethal allele. Examples of human diseases caused by recessive lethal alleles include cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anaemia, and achondroplasia.
