Strip mining is type of surface mining which includes mining a seam of mineral, by first removing a long strip of overlying soil and rock. Strip mining is often involved in the production of coal and brown coal (lignite). The machines that enable strip mining are<span> </span>bucket-wheel excavators<span> .</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is - 2) density-independent limiting factor.
Explanation:
Density-independent limiting factors are the factors that cause a change in the size of the population without getting influenced by the density of the population.
Density-independent limiting factors include biotic or abiotic factors with catastrophic conditions such as natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, drought, fires, and many more.
Drought affects the size of the population by increasing competition in the ecosystem for resources.
A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.
Recessive mutations inactivate the affected gene and lead to a loss of function. For instance, recessive mutations may remove part of or all the gene from the chromosome, disrupt expression of the gene, or alter the structure of the encoded protein, thereby altering its function.
Answer and Explanation:
the total length of the gene is 6,000 base pairs (or) 6.0 kb and it has five exons, four introns and a 1,000 base pair length flanking region for the transcribed region.
Hence, each exon has (1500/5) = 300 by
each intron has (3500/4) = 875 by and
flanking segment (5' and 3') length for the transcribed region would be (1000/2) = 500 bp.
The gene segment is as shown in the <em>1st diagram attached below </em>
In eukaryotes, transcription takes place in the nucleus which results in the synthesis of hnRNA (heteronuclear ribonucleic acid). This hnRNA (pre-RNA) has both introns and exons, however when it is synthesized or while it is being synthesized the Spliceosomal complex removes introns from hnRNA and becomes converted into mRNA (messenger RNA) in the nucleus itself.
(<em>second diagram explains further)</em>
Now the synthesized mRNA reaches the cytoplasm. So, if mRNA collected from the nucleus and cytoplasm will have the same length of about 2,500 base pairs only. Therefore, after the commencement of northern blot analysis both mRNA will yield the same kind of result and have unique length.
