5 0
Discontinuous variation is when a trait is seen in a population in two or more different forms and there is no continuation along a gradient. A good example that Mendel studied is flower color. The flowers  were either white or purple. There was no in between color. This is caused by an allele for purple or a lack of an allele for purple, which produces no pigment, or  white.

Pepsinogen is produced by __________ and is activated by __________
Ket [755]

Answer:

Pepsinogen is produced by chief cells and is activated by hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells.

Explanation:

Pepsinogen is a proenzyme produced in the chief cells (that are located in the stomach lining) that, when gets activated, is transformed into pepsin - a peptidase with the function to degrade proteins into amino acids.

The reason why pepsinogen is released inactive is that it would break down all of the cell's proteins because of its proteolytic nature. For this reason, it is released as a proenzyme and gets activated when reaches the acidic environment provided by the hydrochloric acid secreted by the parietal cells, also in the stomach lining.

Data collected by the drilling ship Glomar Challenger confirmed that _____.
Volgvan
Data collected by the drilling ship Glomar Challenger confirmed that C. NONE OF THE OCEAN FLOOR IS MORE THAN 180 MILLION YEARS OLD.

Glomar Challenger began drilling on both sides of the mid-ocean ridges to gather data. The data confirmed what the sea-floor spreading hypothesis predicted. The ocean floor is youngest along the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge while the ocean floor in subduction zones or near the edges of the continents is oldest. The data has confirmed that none of the ocean floor is more than 180 million years old because the older oceanic rock will undergo subduction and go back to the earht's mantle.
