Answer:

Diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction is the key explanation why we can hear sounds around corners but not see them. As compared to light waves, sound waves have much longer wavelengths, making diffraction effects much more visible. When the size of the object that the wave is diffracting around is about the same as the wavelength of the wave, diffraction effects become very visible.

Sound has a wavelength of 1 m, while light has a wavelength of 0.1 micro m. Reflection is a secondary reason. Sound waves bounce off walls in a specular way, allowing them to bounce around corners, but light bounces off walls in a diffuse manner.

hope this helps :)

Answer:

On Tuesday night, CNN's Don Lemon asked former Georgia state senator (and potential vice presidential pick) Stacey Abrams about allegations made by a former Senate staffer that Joe Biden had sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s. Here's how she responded (bolding is mine):

"I believe that women deserve to be heard and I believe they need to be listened to, but I also believe that those allegations have to be investigated by credible sources. ... The New York Times did a deep investigation and they found that the accusation was not credible. I believe Joe Biden."

That bolded section about The New York Times finding that Reade's accusation was "not credible" comes directly from talking points being distributed by Biden's campaign, talking points first reported on by BuzzFeed's Ruby Cramer. Here's the specific language from Biden's talking points:

"Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly review. In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen."

What is the removal of water by the joining of monomers called
Harman [31]

Answer:

Dehydration Synthesis

Explanation:

Dehydration means “removal of water” and synthesis means “to join together”. So in this process, two monomers are covalently bonded by the removal of a water molecule. Each organic monomer has a hydroxyl group (-OH) on one side and a hydrogen (H) on the other.

Answer:

A protein-coding gene has an open reading frame (ORF) that make easier its identification

Explanation:

During translation, the messenger RNA (mRNA) is read by the ribosomes as triplets of nucleotides called codons in the open reading frame (ORF). An ORF can be defined as a gene fragment composed of codons which are translated into amino acids in a polypeptide chain. According to the genetic code, the information encoded by these codons will specify the sequence of amino acids in the protein, as well as the start codon and stop codons of the protein-coding genes. A start codon (AUG) is a site at which translation into protein begins, while stop codons (UAA, UAG, and UGA) mark the site at which translation ends. Moreover, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) don't have ORFs because they do not encode for proteins, and therefore their identification is more difficult.
