An area where soil has eroded experience loss of nutrients. The topmost layer of soil is called the topsoil and is the most fertile. Soil erosion results in the loss of soil fertility and makes the land barren
The main cause of soil erosion is the removal of vegetation, which exposes the topsoil to water and wind. Wind and water are the main agents of soil erosion.
Water erosion can be sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion or riparian erosion.
Answer:
By stopping the translation process, leading to a non-functional protein.
Explanation:
The genes of organisms are the protein-coding regions of the genetic material (DNA). They are expressed in a two step process to produce functional products e.g proteins that bring about certain phenotypes in the organisms. The two stages involved in gene expression are viz: transcription and translation.
During transcription, the gene (DNA) is transcribed into RNA molecule which is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON during translation. Translation synthesizes an amino acid from each codon. A STOP CODON i.e. UUC, UUG and UUA signals the end of the translation process and brings it to an halt.
Hence, if a mutation i.e. a change in the nucleotide sequence, causes a stop codon to be produced during the expression of Lucy's ADA gene, the stop codon will signal the end of the translation process. Because the ADA protein was truncated, it will be non-functional i.e. not work in Lucy's body.
Answer:
A) protects earth's surface
Explanation:
took the test
Answer: The other ova become polar bodies.
Explanation: After meiosis I and II in oogenesis, there should be 4 eggs, but there aren't because the other eggs 3 eggs become these small cells called polar bodies that end up dying out through apoptosis. The reason why polar bodies are made is because they take out extra DNA that the single ovum is supposed to have.
So only 1 egg is made and the rest are polar bodies that get rid of extra DNA and then die by apoptosis.
