I'm not very good at explaining earthquakes but I can explain subduction

Subduction is when one plate goes underneath the other it's a convergent plate boundary, this happens because the denser plate goes under as they converge (gets closer together.) if you have the ESRT (Earth Science Reference Table.) you can see the Nazca plate is getting subducted.

When an orginism is repredused by budding, how does the new organism start growing?
Finger [1]
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where the new organism (offspring) grows as an outgrowth from the body of the parent. Here, the new individual starts growing as a small body on one side of the parent organism and continues growing in size while still attached to the parent.

Early on, it appears as part of the parent given that it does not detach until it has grown further. Ultimately, the new individual, which resembles the parent, detaches and becomes an independent organism.

Based on the results of the experiment as well as what you learned about the mechanism of gene transfer between bacterial cells,
cestrela7 [59]

Since, the experiment is not given but on the basis of the mechanism of genetic transfer this question can be answered.  

Answer:

The mechanism of gene transfer is important and beneficial for bacteria in the adverse environment conditions. The different mechanism of gene transfer are conjugation, transformation and transduction.

The ampicillin resistance gene is present on the plasmid DNA and not on the chromosomal DNA. Only conjugation is the mechanism in which the plasmid DNA is transferred from one bacteria to another bacteria. The ampicillin resistance gene is transferred from Strain II to strain I means from the bacteria that has the ampicillin resistance gene to the bacteria that has no ampicillin resistance gene in it.

Which of the following properties of a neuron's action potential determines the maximum firing rate (e.g. determines the number
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The duration that it takes for all voltage-gated Na+ channels to return to a closed, but active (not inactivated) state after the initial rapid depolarization "spike". ( D )

Explanation:

The property of a neuron's action potential that determines the maximum firing rate is ; The duration that it takes for all voltage-gated Na+ channels to return to a closed, but active (not inactivated) state after the initial rapid depolarization "spike".

The firing rate of a neuron defines the number of spikes that a neuron can produce per second  and  for a typical neuron that number is from 1 spike to 200 spikes per second
