The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.

Also, the oceanic crust consists mostly of basalt.

What is the oceanic crust made of?

The topmost layer of the tectonic plates' oceanic part is called the oceanic crust. It is made up of two oceanic crusts: the upper crust, which contains pillow lavas, and the bottom crust, which is made up of troctolite, and ultramafic cumulates. The crust sits on top of the hard mantle's topmost layer.

Dark-colored rocks named basalt and gabbro make up the majority of the marine crust. It is lighter-colored rocks called andesite and granite that make up the continental crust, which is thinner and denser. Because of its low density, continental crust "floats" high above the viscous mantle, generating dry land. It develops as magma rises to fill the space between divergent tectonic plates and is consumed in subduction zones.

Cystic fibrosis is genetic, meaning it can be passed from parent to child. What type of mutation causes cystic fibrosis? somatic
Tresset [83]

Answer: Germline mutation

A germline mutation is a mutation in the fully developed germ cells (sperm and ovum). These defective mutated cells fuse to form zygote. The zygote rapidly produces all somatic and germline cells in the offsprings which are also mutated. Therefore, mutation is transmitted from parents to offsprings. Cystic fibrosis is a result of germline mutation. This disease is hereditary in nature passes from parents to the offsprings. If a child receives CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) mutated gene from both the parents than the child will be affected by the symptoms of this disease. If the child receives a single copy of CFTR gene from either of the parent than the child will be the carrier of disease.The mutated gene may be present in the germline cells of the parent or on all the body cells.
