Explain how the composition of the mantle is important to plate tectonics

Biology

4 0

Answer:

The composition of mantle plays a pivotal role for enhancing the energy and drifting forces for movement of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The mantle of earth is formed of oxygen is high proportion, silicon and magnesium, along with presence of calcium, iron, aluminium, potassium and sodium. These are all combined in the form of silicates or oxides. Often, the molten rock material commonly known as magma that erupts from an volcano, accumulated in the earth crust on the mantle. The heat from the core of the earth is transmitted by the process of convection which is facilitated by mantle. This heat or energy is mainly responsible for movement of plate tectonics which results in disastrous consequences like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and so on.

When a BB male and a Bb female are crossed, 50% BB and 50% Bb genotypes are produced and a 100% black phenotype.

The entire number of genes that an organism receives from its parents makes up its genotype. Alleles, which are pairs of these genes, are found. One gene is dominant and one gene is recessive in each allele.

The dominant gene is always expressed in a cross if it is present. Only when a pair of alleles is made up of two recessive genes does the recessive gene express itself. In this instance, the white fur is subordinate to the black fur. White fur is represented as b, while black fur is represented as B.

We can see that when we cross the BB male and Bb female, we will get a genotype that is 50% BB and 50% Bb, as well as a phenotype that is 100% black fur.

Parents: BB x Bb

Gametes: B, B, and B, b

Offspring: BB, BB, Bb, Bb

The genotypic ratio = 1:1

The phenotypic ratio = 1:0

Genotype probabilities:

P(BB) = 2/4 = 0.5 or 50%

P(Bb) = 2/4 = 0.5 or 50%
