If 25 km3 of sand is deposited on a beach yearly and 28 km3 of sand is removed by wave action, the size of the beach would be decreasing, not increase.

First, there is a need to understand that the size of a beach is a function of the amount of sand deposited into it. The more the sand deposited, the more the beach would increase in size.

In this case, 25 km3 of sand is deposited annually but 28 km3 of sand is washed away by waves. The net amount of sand deposited can be calculated by subtracting the amount washed away by waves from the amount deposited. Thus

Net sand deposited = 25 - 28

                                     = -3 km3

Hence, the net amount of sand deposited annually is negative, meaning that the beach would decrease in size.

Answer:

The tree main cell components are: plasma membrane, cytoplasm and nucleous

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is the a bilipid membranous layer composed of proteins and carbohydrates.

The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance composed of mainly water and found between the cell membrane and nucleus.

The nucleous is an organelle which contains genetic information (DNA) on special strands called chromosomes.

What are some things that have contributed to increased global temperatures due to higher levels of carbon dioxide?
Arisa [49]
There are many lines of evidence which clearly show that the atmospheric CO2<span>increase is caused by humans.  The clearest of these is simple accounting - humans are emitting CO2 at a rate twice as fast as the atmospheric increase (natural sinks are absorbing the other half).  There is no question whatsoever that the CO2 increase is human-caused.  This is settled science.</span>

Explanation:

Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:

1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes

2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments

3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment

4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines

5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends
