Why would a certain thickness of continental crust displace less of the mantle than the same thickness of oceanic crust?

Answer:

The slightly higher density of oceanic crust (basalt) causes it to displace more of the mantle than the same thickness of continental crust (granite) does.

Need help with lining up mutated DNA sequence
sergejj [24]
This particular area of genetics can be quite complex. So basically in DNA their is adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine. So, then there is another step to this: Adenine links with Thymine (A is to T), and Cytosine pairs up with Guanine (C is to G). This is known as base pairing. However, when translating DNA to RNA their is a catch, there is no thymine in RNA. Instead there is Uracil. SO in RNA it would be like so: A is to U and C is to G. So when transcribing DNA to mRNA it would be like this. I will give an example: DNA: TGA GTC AAT GGC. However with RNA it would be like this, using the same example I just showed you: ACU CAG UUA CCG. Do you see I it now? Basically when transcribing to RNA you use the opposite of all of the original copy except use Uracil instead of Thmine.

Answer:

B. Gene expression is influenced by high lactose levels in the environment.

Explanation:

The lactose operon (lac operon) functions for the metabolism and transport of lactose in several bacteria.

Gene expression is influenced by high lactose levels in the environment as genes are expressed in the presence of high level lactose and absence of glucose. High level lactose carry an activator protein called catabolite activator protein (CAP), which let the RNA polymerase do transcription of the operon.

Hence, the correct option is "B".
