The earth began as a cloud of dust and hot, shining gas. When our planet began to cool, its surface solidified, surrounded by clouds of water vapour. When this vapour condensed (changed into liquid) and began to fall like rain, seas, and oceans formed in the hollows of the Earth’s surface. Oceans are huge expanses of water which separate the Earth’s continents. The largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean, second, the Atlantic and third largest, the Indian Ocean. Seas are smaller expanses of water, almost always flowing either into oceans or other sea. The waters of the seas and the oceans are always salty, because they are rich in mineral salts and especially sodium chloride, which is the salt used in cooking.

Answer:

the ocean formed from the escape of <u>water vapor and other gases from the molten rocks.</u>

Explanation:

After the earth's surface had cooled to a temperature below the boiling point of water , rain began to fall - and continued to fall for centuries . Hope this helped .

Answer:

Any of the answers are correct. This question is completely opinionated (I chose no).

[If you limit your interpretation of the biological species concept to only what happens in nature, lions and tigers are separate species. In contrast, if you consider what is possible with human intervention, you could argue that lions and tigers are not separate species since they can be crossed to form fertile ligers.

The biological species concept is one of over 20 different species concepts that attempt to put nature into human-constructed categories. Most biologists would agree that the challenge of defining species has still not been elegantly solved.]

In a beetle species the red color is dominant over the white color. What is the genotype of any red beetle resulting from this s

Bad White [126]

Answer:

D. a red allele present on at least one of two homologous chromosomes;

D. unplanned ecosystem interactions

Explanation:

A dominant allele or trait would always mask the expression of a recessive trait when both are present in a pair. The only way a recessive trait can express itself is when it is in a homozygous state. Since red color is dominant over white color in the beetle species, the genotype of any red color species would have a red alelle present on at least one of two homologous chromosomes. For example, if red allele is represented by R and white allele is r, the genotype of a red nettle species would be RR or Rr.

In the second question concerning the most reason for concern that some scientists recommends caution be taken regarding genetically modified plants is that in the process of introducing new genes into a population, unforseen and unplanned disruption of the ecosystem may occur as a result of interaction with the ecosystem that these process and it's product may present.
