The answer is D hotter rock rises

Why? Because... While convection is generally discussed as a form of heat flow within liquids and gases, it can occur in solids too. For example, the temperature and pressure conditions in the Earth's mantle allow mantle rock to flow very slowly. Hotter rock gradually rises up and cooler rock gradually sinks down in large convection currents in the mantle.

And because study island....

Answer:

D. hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Explanation:

We know that as we move <u>towards Earth's center</u>, the <u>temperature rises</u>. This rise in temperature causes rocks to melt (magma). The high temperature and melting of rocks <u>decrease the density of material </u>which makes it <u>move upward</u>. By <u>moving upward</u>, the molten rock <u>starts turning solid</u> and becomes <u>denser again</u>. Here, it <u>sinks back due to gravity</u>. This upward and downward movement of rocks due to density and temperature makes a convection cell.

PS: The formation of convection cells in Earth's interior is also the reason for plate tectonics.

A milk snake looks similar to the deadly coral snake. This is an example of A) warning coloration adaptive radiation B) cryptic
Damm [24]
In this case, c) mimicry is the answer. In Batesian mimicry in which harmless animals mimic toxic animals. In this case, I assume the milk snake is harmless and the coral snake is venomous. Since the milk snake has a trait similar to deadly coral snake, less animals would eat it thinking it is dangerous. Over time all the milk snake that look like the deadly coral snake would survive leading to evolution by natural selection. This would lead to more and more milk snake mimicking the resemblance of the deadly coral snake.

a) The deadly coral snake has a warning color adaptive radiation. If the question had described the environment and how the snaked adapted to the environment via warning coloration. This would've been correct.

b) cryptic coloration is more about camouflage with the environment. If the question had state how a certain feature help one of the animals blend into the background. This would've been correct.

d) I'm not sure whats different between this and a so i'll consider them both the same.

The degree to which chromatin is compacted greatly affects its accessability for ____________ , and thus, gene expression.
iVinArrow [24]

The degree to which chromatin is compacted greatly affects its accessibility for transcription, and thus, gene expression.

<h3>What is Transcription?</h3>

This is the process which involves copying a segment of DNA into RNA in organisms.

When chromatin is condensed, DNA becomes less accessible for transcription factors and vice versa which was why it was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
