Answer:

When the strength of the rocks at the plate boundary is exceeded, they move rapidly, "catching up" with the rest of the plates. We feel this release of energy as an earthquake. At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates pull away from each other. Earthquakes are when the plates move.

This level of direct harvesting could cause the ecosystems to be severely damaged. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". This type of fishing can disturb the natural balance and ultimately several species might vanish from our earth.

One of the effects of the hormone secretin is to stimulate the release of bicarbonate ions into the duodenum, which neutralizes

avanturin [10]

Answer:

It will enable gut enzymes to act on the bolus during digestion.

Explanation:

The acidic presence of HCl (hydrochloric acid) in the gastric juice serves as a stimulus for the intestinal wall to produce secretin.

This hormone will act on the pancreas by stimulating the production of pancreatic juice that will contain enzymes (trypsinogen, amylase, lipases) and HCO3⁻ (bicarbonate) salts, which have base composition.

With this composition that will be sent to the duodenum, there will be neutralization of acidic solution coming from the stomach and pH leveling around 8.0 (slightly basic) which is great for the enzymes that work there.

What process is used to take atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into nitrates?

andre [41]

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Certain soil bacteria, e.g., Azobacter spp can combine free nitrogen of the atmosphere with oxygen to form nitrates. This is called nitrogen fixation. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium form symbiotic unions with the roots of leguminous plants called root nodules. They fix nitrogen to form nitrates which are used up by the host plant. Nitrifying soil bacteria, e.g., Nitrobacter convert nitrites to nitrates in a process called nitrification.

Suppose a geneticist isolates two bacteriophage mutants. One mutation causes clear plaques (c), and the other produces minute pl

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The mentioned parental types are c+m- and c-m+. Thus, the recombinants will be c+m+ and c-m-.

Now, the given distance between c and m is 8 map units. Thus, the recombinant frequency is 8% or 0.08.

The total recombinants from 1000 plaques will come out to be 80,

Thus, the recombinants of each type will be 40.

Total parental type will be 920, and therefore, each parental type count will be 460.

Thus, expected c+m- = 460, expected c-m+ = 460, expected c+m+ = 40 and expected c-m- = 40.
