Answer:

The Appalachians mountains were tall and rugged mountains about millions of years. These mountains are formed due to the crushing of the two continental plates. But the height of these mountains has been significantly affected, as a result of which the mountains became gentle and their height has also reduced.  

This lowering of mountains usually takes place when the rate of collision reduces when the rate of erosion is more than the rate of uplift. In addition to this, factors such as wind and precipitation also plays an important role in reducing the height of the mountains.

These mountains are continuously eroded over a long period of time, due to which they resulted in lower and gentle mountains.

During DNA replication, the leading strand is synthesized continuously, whereas the lagging strand is synthesized as Okazaki fra
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Because DNA polymerase can synthesize DNA strands in 5' to 3' direction only.

Explanation:

The 5' end of one DNA strand is present opposite to the 3' end of the other strand. But DNA polymerase enzyme can elongate the primers in 5' to 3' direction only. Formation of a phosphodiester bond between the existing nucleotide and the incoming nucleotide requires the free 3'OH. This 3' OH serves in the nucleophilic attack during the formation of the bond.

Therefore, the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the form of short DNA fragments. These are called Okazaki fragments. Primers are formed for short distances which in turn are elongated by DNA polymerase to form the Okazaki fragments. On the other hand, the synthesis of the leading strand occurs continuously in the same direction in which the replication fork moves.

Plants absorb me from the soil through assimilation, I am eaten by animals the animals and plants die and decompose where I am released back into the soil, weathering and erosion cause me to release out of rocks, I then find my way into the ocean being carried by water, I then return to the soil through the water.

Masja [62]

When talking about evolution, a good example is bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

We start with a bacteria colony, and in contact with antibiotics, most of them die.

Some of them in the colony do not die and took that antibiotic to create a mutation of its DNA to be resistance to that.

They evolved  survive that antibiotic.

Suppose that Gene B occurs in a sea turtle gene pool where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 all
disa [49]

Answer:

Frequency of the B3 allele = 0.1

Explanation:

The allele frequencies in a given population remain constant which means that every generation will have the same gene pool across the generations. As per Hardy Weinberg’s first equilibrium equation, the sum of frequency of all the alleles at a given locus is equal to one  

Thus, if "p" represents the frequency of B1 allele and "q" represents the frequency of B2 allele and "r" represents the allele for B3 allele. Then, sum or "p", "q" and "r" is equal to one.

p+q+r = 1\\

Substituting the given values, we get -

0.5 + 0.4 + r = 1\\0.9 + r = 1\\r = 1-0.9\\r = 0.1
