Based on the epicenter and the time of the arrival of the first S-wave, the first P-wave will arrive at 1:22 pm.

From the information given, it was stated that the epicenter of an earthquake is located 6,500 kilometers away from a seismic station and that the first S-wave arrived at this seismic station at 1:30 p.m.

Therefore, it should be noted that the first P-wave will have arrived 8 minutes earlier. This will be:

= 1:30 pm - 8 minutes

= 1:22 pm.

Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. An individual experiences a mutation that changes a base
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The type of mutation responsible for changing a base in the mRNA strand, without changing the coding aminoacid or protein, is called a <u>silent</u> mutation.

Explanation:

In a silent mutation occurs the change of a nitrogenous base in one of the codons that encodes an aminoacid, without changing the aminoacid or altering the structure or function of the protein to be synthesized.

In this type of mutations the change of the base does not mean the change of the aminoacid, because some aminoacids can be coded with more than one codon. In the case of Leucine, the codons that encode it are CUU, CUC, CUG or CUA, so even if a base changes, the final protein will be the correct one.

For the other options:

  • <u><em>Missense</em></u><em>: the change of the base in the DNA chain implies the change of the codon in the mRNA and of the encoded aminoacid, in that way a structural and functional alteration of the synthesized protein occurs. </em>
  • <u><em>Nonsense</em></u><em>: the change in the nitrogenous base in the DNA leads to the coding of a termination codon, so that the protein is ultimately incomplete.</em>
  • <u><em>Insertion</em></u><em>: in this case there is the addition of more nitrogenous bases to the DNA chain, with respect to the original one.</em>

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is - warning system.

Explanation:

Warning systems are a type of system that could be technical or biological in nature that can help in assessing or inform about the possible danger or change in a particular setting such as ecosystem, weather, water quality, and many others. It helps in avoiding such threats before occurring or become serious threats.

Certain biological species that live or require a particular set of conditions for their survival and reproduction can act as a biological warning system for water pollution, air pollution.

A researcher incubates a cell with radiolabeled amino acids. These amino acids are incorporated into the proteins as they are sy
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids during protein synthesis occurs when the data shows the organelles involved with protein synthesis, packaging and transport, that is, radioactivity levels would increase first at the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by the Golgi, and then the secretory vesicles (option C).

Explanation:

Protein synthesis in the cell occurs when RNA -which contains the sequence of triplets or codons that make up the genetic code- is coupled to ribosomes.

Each codon or triplet, consisting of three nucleotides, will give instructions for specific amino acids to be incorporated into the polypeptide chain that is being synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging or packaging the newly synthesized proteins in secretory vesicles for transport.

<em>In consecuense, </em><u><em>radioactivity levels would increase in the organelles involved in protein synthesis, packaging and transport, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and secretory vesicles</em></u><em>, respectively.</em>

How is the berries of a mountain ash, the helicopter seeds of maples and linden trees, the parachute seeds of the cottonwood tre
ehidna [41]
Well you see each of the seeds have developed a special technique that allows their individual seeds to travel further and lower the probability of landing close to the tree and not getting the sunlight it needs

For the berries birds and various animals eat them carrying them away so hopefully they can get more sunlight

Helicopter seeds do the same thing except the sides themselves float away from the tree to get  a further distance.

Finally the acorn seeds of the oak tree use the same concept of the berries. Various squirrels do eat these kinds of nuts and bury them in the ground in hopes of finding them later. But due to squirrels not remembering where they buried their acorn seeds the acorns are well away from the tree and start growing. 

So you see all of these tree seeds are specially developed to help it get away from the trees. Especially so that they can grow in a much better environment than the one provided to them initially.
