We are required to find the fraction of Earth radius is each type of crust

<em>Average radius of Earth</em> = 6,371 km

<em>Average thickness of oceanic crust</em> = 7.5 km

<em>Average thickness of continental crust </em>= 35 km

<em>fraction of Earth's radius is oceanic crust</em> = 7.5 km / 6,371 km

=

<em>fraction of Earth's radius is continental crust</em> = 35km / 6,731

=

Convert kilometer to mile

In photoperiodism flowering and other developmental processes are regulated in response to the photoperiod, or day length.

This gene sequence undergoes transcription (i.e., is copied) into ____________ by rna polymerase and other proteins. this occurs
ANEK [815]

The answer is mRNA (messenger-RNA). In most eukaryotes, transcription occurs by firstly creating a primary transcript.  This primary transcript is processed into a pre-mRNA that later becomes a mRNA by removing introns. Processing of the RNA also includes polyadenylation and 5’ capping.
