Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

These islands are barrier islands.

Explanation:

Barrier islands are islands in front of the mainland that separate part of the sea from the open sea. They lie parallel to the coast and have an elongated, narrow shape. On the sea side, dunes often shape the surface, on the land side they are flat. They were created by deposits of waves, currents and wind. Their formation requires a shallow coastal fore, a sufficiently large sediment store and a weak to moderate tidal range.

8. Why is the active site specific for only one type of substrate?
Ksivusya [100]
Why is the active site specific for only one type of substrate? Enzymes have a lock and key type fit so only a specific substrate fits in the activation site.

The decay of uranium isotopes is used to provide information about the age of Earth.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Isotopes of Uranium U-232, U-233 , U-234 , U-235 , U-236 , U-238 are used as fuel in nuclear reactors or as explosives for nuclear weapons. Uranium 238 is not very radioactive and it constitutes for nearly 99.3% of natural uranium on Earth and has the longest lifetime: its period is 4.5 billion years, about the age of Earth.

Use of radiometric dating techniques help in defining the age of substances (natural or man-made) using the known decay rates of radioactive elements. Each element has an  individual decay rate and half life time.

Two Uranium isotopes (U-238 and U-235) are used for radiometric dating. Both the isotopes have different decay rates and half life period. Both are unstable and radioactive. Since two different isotopes produce two different decay clocks (one as a reference to other), it is beneficial in accurately determining the age of samples. The age of earth (rocks or other natural elements) can be easily determined using Uranium isotopes.

Assume sexual reproduction occurs. What is the number of chromosomes in the zygote if the parent's reproductive cells or gametes
Rudik [331]
<span>If the parent's reproductive cells or gametes contain 12 chromosomes each, the number of chromosomes in the zygote is 24. Fertilization is the fusion of two haploid gametes and results in the creation of a diploid zygote. If two haploid gametes containing 12 chromosomes each fuse, the zygote will have 24 chromosomes (12 + 12 = 24).</span>
