The rotation of the earth

The Coriolis Effect is caused by Earth’s uneven distribution of heat AND the rotation of the earth

Explanation:

Due to the spherical nature of the earth, when it spins, around its axis, different latitudes spin at different rates. The nearer to the pole you get the slower the earth’s spins (approx 0.00008 kilometers/hr), while this spin is fastest at the equator ( approx1,600 kilometers/hr). Due to this differential spin, ocean and winds currents (while they move polewards due to convection) are deflected as they move towards the pole from the equator. Towards the North, they are deflected westwards while towards the South they are deflected eastwards.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

D. Plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits

Explanation:

A Nucleic acid is one of the four biomolecule polymers in living systems. It is made up of monomeric units called Nucleotides. RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in existence and they function in storage and expression of genetic information.

According to the question, a colony of bacteria that can break plastics were mixed with the colony that can't break plastics. The two different colonies engage plamids, which conferred the ability to break plastics to some of the colonies that previously couldn't. This tells us that the ability to break plastics in the certain bacteria colony is GENETIC.

If the trait is genetic, the plasmid must be a nucleic acid because of the ability to genetically pass on traits. Note that, a plasmid is an extra-chromosomal DNA (nucleic acid) capable of replicating on its own. Hence, plasmids are nucleic acids which can pass on traits.

Joints in which the bones are closely fitted are: a) strong joints with restricted movement. b) strong and free-moving joints. c
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

<u>a) strong joints with restricted movement.</u>

Explanation:

Joints which are closely fitted cannot allow free movement because movement requires space in the joint so the bones can move in this space. So a closely fitted joint allow restricted or no movement at all. Weak joints with restricted movements are called weak because they are not well fitted closely. Strong joints with restricted movement is closely fitted, one of the example is joints of skull.

The plasma proteins involved in fighting infections are
NeTakaya
Plasma proteins account at least 8% of the plasma, they contribute to osmotic pressure and maintain water balance in blood and tissues, other functions includes transport and enzymatic activities. Plasma proteins include albumin, fibrinogen and globulin (alpha, beta and gamma). Globulin proteins may be used to fight infections such that gamma globulin antibodies are released by the plasma during immune response.
