Oceanic crust or a less solid piece of oceanic crust will subduct beneath continental crust. Earthquakes occur when the oceanic plate subducts into a trench. Volcanoes are created by the melting of mantle material.

<h3>What does oceanic crust mean?</h3>

The outermost part of the Earth's lithosphere, known as oceanic crust, is created at spreading centres on oceanic ridges that are found at divergent plate boundaries and is found beneath the oceans. The oceanic crust is roughly 4 miles (6 km) thick. Even without the sediment on top, it is made up of many layers.

<h3>What is a characteristic of oceanic crust?</h3>

Compared to continental crust, oceanic crust is both thinner and denser. This is because to the oceans' weight, which has compacted it beneath it. It is also much more recent than continental crust, typically existing within the last 200 million years.

Patrick the starfish has a pink body color which is dominant his wife for Trisha has a yellow body which is recessive they have
aleksandrvk [35]

Explanation:

Patrick is a heterozygous dominant (he have one allele for pink body color and one allele for yellow body color

His wife Trisha is homozygous recessive (she have two alleles for yellow body color)

When they mate their is a 50% chance that the offspring will has the dominant allele from his father and a 50% chance that the offspring will has the recessive allele from his father and his phenotype will be his father allele in both cases

You have been given a single virgin Drosophila female. You notice that the bristles on her thorax are much shorter than normal.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

We never see short bristle males, suggesting some type of lethality. I.e. any males who inherit the mutation die before birth so we don't see the phenotype. This also hints that it could be X-linked.

Females can be short bristled, but males can't, as it is likely lethal. This suggests that having one copy of the short bristle trait without the long bristle trait is lethal (as males as XY and so only have one copy of the trait). The female then must be heterozygous for the short bristle trait (which also explains how in generation F2, long bristle males can be produced, as if she was homozygous males would all be short bristled, and therefore dead, so there would be no males.

Since the first short bristle female is heterozygous, the trait for short bristles must be dominant.

However, since evidence suggests the trait is X-linked, it cannot be autosomal, as suggested in B.
