The CORRECT answer is:

The theory of plate tectonics explains how continental movements could occur

I know this for a fact because I am an online student, this was a question on my quiz, I used the other member's answer and I got it wrong. However, after submitting my quiz, it gave me the correct answer which is what I said above.

You are welcome.

Answer: A. the theory of plate tectonics explains how Continental movement could occur.

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory proposed by scientist Alfred Wegener in 1960. This theory substantiate the fact that the a large landmass got splitted and drifted into continents which were drifted to different locations from the site they were originated. The theory provides the reason for continental drift. It explains the fact that plates (continents) above the earth surface gets split into different subplates (small continents) because of natural effects like volcanoes, mountain formation, earthquakes.

Enzyme hot spring graphing what enzymes probably came from the digestive tract of the mondoni

AURORKA [14]

I found the full exercise on the internet and it describes that there are three enzymes and you want to know which are the two enzymes from the <span>digestive tract of the mondoni and which one is the enzyme from a hot spring.
Attached are two graphs from the analysis of the activity of these enzymes regarding temperature and pH. I found these graphs with the full exercise.
The enzymes that probably came from the </span>digestive tract of the mondoni were enzymes A and B. These enzymes were resistant two lower levels of pH which indicates that they could be present in a <span>digestive tract, which tends to be acidic, while the enzyme C does not tolerate lower pH levels. Enzymes A and B were also more active when in lower temperatures that match temperatures of a normal living organism, whereas enzyme C was more active in higher temperatures matching its probable provenience - a hot spring.</span>

.. Which of the following mutations would have the potential to affect future generations of

ch4aika [34]

Answer choices:

A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell

Answers:

A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell

Explanation:

Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.

Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
