Water at 4 degrees centigrade has the highest density of all other water temperatures. This is why ice (whose temperature is below 0 degrees) floats on very cold water. This phenomenon is significant in the Artic and Antarctic where ice shelves float on cold ocean waters in the poles. Animals that live in these regions (such as seals and polar bears) use these ice shelves as hunting platforms.
I’m guessing Asia and North America to be closer
Answer:
The oceanic crust is formed by partial melting of the mantle at mid-ocean ridges. The continental crust is formed even more cycles of partial melting over time, resulting less dense rocks.
Explanation:
The mantle, oceanic crust, and continental crust all have different compositions due to a process called partial melting.
This is where you start to melt a rock, but don´t melt it all the way.
When you partially melt a rock, certain chemical elements tend to stay in the solid rock while others tend to go into the melted part.
As a result, the rock that forms from that melt is less dense than the original rock.
If you then partially melt that rock, you get a rock that is even lighter.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
The given situation in the question where an Adenine nucleotide is swapped for a Thymine nucleotide, which as stated are complimentary of each other just like guanine and cytosine, can cause all three types of mutations, frameshift nonsense, frameshift missense and silent because the situation is not specific to either of them. There is no information whether the change resulted in a change in the amino acid structures or not. In this case the best answer is D.
I hope this answer helps.
