C

A Land mass is large geographical area that is surrounded by oceans. Therefore this can be synonymous to continents.

Explanation:

The crust is divided into tectonic plates that are dynamic because they move on top of the semi-plastic mantle.  The movement of the tectonic plates is driven by the convection currents of the mantle that drag along the crust above.  The tectonic plates collide at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates are consumed as one is subsided into the mantle. On the other hand, new crust is formed at divergent boundaries where two tectonic plates move away from each other and magma rises from the mantle and cools into new crust.

The convection  currents occurs because the lower mantle is hotter and less dense compared to the cooler denser upper mantle. Therefore the upper mantle always tends to sink as the lower mantle rises. These convection currents are the same as in any other fluids that are disproportionately heated.

Which phrase describes a density-independent limiting factor that can affect
Alenkasestr [34]

The phrase dune erosion by ocean water along a shoreline best describes a density-independent limiting factor that can affect ecosystem stability (Option B).

<h3>What is a density-independent limiting factor?</h3>

A density-independent limiting factor can be defined as any factor in a given ecosystem that may alter the homeostasis of the population that lives in a given geographic area.

These factors (density-independent limiting factors) are generally abiotic factors such as hurricanes, extreme temperature conditions, the presence of contaminants in the air that hamper life in a given area, etc.

Conversely, density-dependent limiting factors are biotic factors such as competitive species that alter the development of another population.

Therefore, with this data, we can see that a density-independent limiting factor is any abiotic condition that may alter the life of a population in a give geographic area and thus alter the homeostasis of the whole ecosystem.

List the proteins/enzymes involved in the process of replication
ELEN [110]
Replication is the process where DNA molecules copies itself to form another DNA molecule during cell division. it involves several enzymes which includes DNA helicase, the enzyme that unwounds the DNA double helix. RNA primase, it is an enzyme that creates an RNA primer. DNA polymerase, it is the enzyme that matches and lays down nucleotides to form the new DNA daughter. DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments by catalysing the formation of phosphodiester bond.
