The environmental consequence of strip mining on water is toxic material left after mineral extraction can leak into waterways.

WHAT IS STRIP MINING:

  • Strip mining is the process of extracting ore by removing the soil and rock that overlays the mineral ore.

  • Strip mining is a commonly used extraction method for coal. It is however, used for ores that are close to the surface of the soil or rock to be removed.

  • Strip mining, however, has detrimental effects on consumed water and environment as a whole because toxic materials left after mineral extraction can leak into waterways.

DNA does all but which of the following?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-is read by ribosomes during the process of translation.

Explanation:

The DNA is a nucleic acid made up of nucleotides which serves as a genetic material of the cell. It stores the information required by the cell in the form of codons made up of nitrogenous bases. The DNA after transcription forms a messenger molecule called mRNA which is read by the ribosomes to code for specific amino acid which binds to form the proteins, the building block of the body.  

Since the mRNA is read by the ribosomes during translation and not DNA directly, therefore, the selected option is the correct answer.

If you were to repeat the Meselson Stahl experiments, but rather than use N15 and N14, you use P32 and P31, how would the result
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

The CsCl gradient centrifugation in Meselson Stahl experiments is done to separate the bands of the DNA containing isotopes on the basis of difference in the density.

In the experiment, bacterial cultures were grown in the medium of 15N and 14N but if we repeat the experiment with P32 and P31 instead of 15N and 14N and centrifugation is performed then the banding pattern will be the same as of the previous experiment as the method of the replication is same that is semi-conservative.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Which would least likely be a cause of natural selection?
AnnZ [28]
Evolution would least likely be a cause of natural selection.
Natural selection has to do with the survival of the fittest. Therefore, adaptation, variation, and overpopulation all have an impact on natural selection - those who do not adapt to their new surroundings due to overpopulation or those whose bodies have not modified enough will not survive.
