Answer:

Oceanic plate

Explanation:

In a convergent plate boundary, the denser plate undergoes subduction beneath the less denser plate. This zone is also known as the Beniof zone. The plates undergoes partial melting at great depths and the magma starts to rise up towards the over-riding plate, forming a volcano or chains of volcanoes.

The oceanic plate is comprised of denser mineral such as olivine, pyroxene and alkali feldpar. The density of oceanic plate is about 3 g/cm³, whereas the density of continental plate is 2.7 g/cm³.

Therefore, at a subduction zone, the downgoing plate is oceanic plate.

Which layer of Earth has the highest density and temperature?
MrRissso [65]
<span>Because of the difference in materials and the compression of gravity at depth, the inner core is the highest density. The lowest is the crust which is basically floating on the mantle. While no one has drilled that far, the basic assumption from magnetism and pieces of other planets delivered as meteors is that the inner material is iron, nickel and other heavy magnetic elements along with heavy radioactive elements.

The final answer to your question is C. core.

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Researchers can manipulate the genes of a mouse so that a single gene in a single tissue either produces an inactive protein (a
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.

2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.

(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in

liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-

bisphosphatase-1 activity

(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
