Mutation
What is an error in DNA which changes the meaning of a gene?
What is a mutation.
Measures the movement of earthquakes direction of which way the earthquake is moving
what does a seismometer do
These are the instructions that tell the body what to do
what is DNA
This is the gradual destruction of rocks by national processes
what is erosion
This is when the order or sequence is known but not the actual age
what is relative dating
Mutations often happen during this process.
What is during copying process?
isn't easy to measure it is hard to measure because there are a lot of factors that aren't clear this is the first time we tried to use it.
what does the Mercalli scale do
this is what DNA is short for
what is DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC Acid
These are waves and tides in the ocean that chip away and reshape the shoreline
what is erosion and water
In a sedimentary sequence the oldest will be on the bottom and the youngest will always be on top
What is law of super position
These are the environmental factors that can cause a mutation.
What is sunlight and chemicals.
they make lines that tell you the intensity of an earthquake
what do seismomters make
this is what DNA is organized into
what are chromosomes
This results from wind erosion
What are sand dunes
This is the geological processes occur the same way now as they did millions of years ago
What is uniformitarianism
This type of mutation happens when bases are replaced with other bases.
What is a substitution?
the richer the scale uses the S waves but only measures the big ones the more intense
what does the Richer scale do
this is the number of pairs of chromosomes found in humans
what is 23
This is a period of time when new layers aren't formed and is usually because the rocks are above ground
What is non depostion
This is when layers of sediment were deposited horizontally
what is law of horizontality
This type of mutation happens when bases, genes, or even chromosomes are added.
What is insertion?
measures all amount of earthquakes to the total amount of the earthquake from the earthquake to the end of the earthquake
what does the moment magnitude scale do
This is the section of DNA that codes for specific proteins
what is a gene
These carve out deep valleys as they move slowly
what are large sheets of ice
This is a place where an old eroded rock surface is in contact with newer rock layers
What is unconformities
