Answer:

This theory is useful to understand volcanic activity, seisms, mountains creation and others earth's dynamics

Explanation:

Using this theory, geologists have explained a lot of questions about the Earth; we have unterstood, for example why continents have forms that seem to be part of a big puzzle, and the reconstructed the Earth's history based on plates movements, their actual movements velocities and directions.

Also we understand now origin of volcanoes, origin of seisms and how did mountains form and why do we find marine fossils on the top of the Everest. This allow us to study that kind of geological hazards and like this we can prepare a little to avoid natural disasters.

Cyanobacteria, Anabaena and Azotobactor are called Nitrogen fixing bacteria. These bacteria change the nitrogen in the atmosphere into a form that is used by the plants to make proteins. Plants take nitrogen in the form of nitrates.

E is a dominant allele for wet earwax and e is a recessive allele for dry earwax. if two individuals with the phenotype of wet e
MrRissso [65]
Given 
E dominant allele for wet
e recessive allele for dry

that means
for phenotype wet, the possible genotypes are EE, or Ee, and
for phenotype dry, the only possible genotype is ee.

Therefore we also know that the child who has dry earwax has genotype ee.
Since the child inherits one allele from each parent, therefore each parent must have a recessive allele "e".

If both parents have phenotype wet earwax, they both must be heterozygous for wet/dry earwax, namely Ee.
