The question is <u>incomplete,</u> options are given below:

A. A tropical area with moderate rainfall

B. A temperate forest

C. A steep slope

D. A river delta

Answer:

<em>C.</em><em> A steep slope</em>

Explanation:

Erosion is a <u>weathering process</u> that causes removal of the top layer of sediments from any geological material (rock, plain area, etc) and then transports that material to another place. This process is governed by the combined action of wind, water (precipitation), gravity, and other meteorological parameters.

For this question, four options are given among which rate of erosion would be faster than the rate of soil formation for a steep slope. For a steep slope, the movement of water and wind would be stronger along with high gravitational pull as compared to the tropical area, river delta, and temperate forest. In principle, in the temperate forest, the erosion would be lowest due to the presence of plant roots that support the soil material to stay aggregated and resist against weathering.

DNA regions that are transcriptionally silenced by hypercondensation have often undergone a modification of their _______ residu
inessss [21]

Answer:

b. methylation.

Explanation:

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study which systematically observe a body of fact in relation to the structure and behavior of non-living and living organisms (animals, plants and humans) in the natural world through experiments.

Genome editing can be defined as a high-tech process which avail scientists the opportunity or ability to remove (delete), replace and insert Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence in a living organism such as bacterias, animals, plants etc in order to correct a genetic disorder and to improve on their physical and chemical conditions.

Transcription can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.

Hence, DNA regions that are transcriptionally silenced by hypercondensation have often undergone a modification of their cytosine residues termed methylation.

For example, CpG island methylation transcriptionally silences about 650 to 800 genes in patients suffering from colorectal cancer.

These are all hypothalamic hormones except
Paul [167]

Answer:

The correct answer is luteinizing hormone.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus has two sets of nerve cells that produce hormones. One set sends the hormones that are anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin. ADH regulates or water in the bloodstream by reabsorption of water at the kidney and oxytocin helps in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The other set produces hormones growth regulating, stress releasing and stimulating and inhibiting hormones are dopamine, corticotrophin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, somatostatin, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone.

Luteinizing hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. It is one of the main hormones that control the reproductive system.

Thus, the correct answer is luteinizing hormone.
