At the mid-ocean ridges, lava is pushing the sea floor away from the ridge on each side. Eventually that part of the seafloor will be subducted under a continental plate at a convergent boundary. That means that the seafloor is constantly being renewed. The newest rocks will be found closest to the mid-ocean ridge and the oldest the greatest distance from the mid-ocean ridge. 
<span>The oldest rock found beneath the ocean dates back only about 200 million years. </span>
<span>However, the rock underlying the continents is as much as four billion years old.</span>

For children who do not have galactosemia, what are their possible genotypes for this trait?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The correct answers are "heterozygous", and "homozygous dominant".

Explanation:

Galactosemia is a condition where people are not able to process the sugar galactose. People with this condition have one gene mutated, which does not allow the proper synthesis of the enzyme that breaks down galactose. Galactosemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition, therefore, only children that are homozygous recessive develop the condition. Children that are heterozygous or homozygous dominant, will not develop galactosemia.

Many soil-dwelling bacteria produce molecules that can be naturally synthesized and kill other species of bacteria. What are these bacteria-killing molecules called antibiotics

Antibiotics are effective pills which can be usually safe. Although they are very helpful in fighting disease,  antibiotics can actually be harmful. Important Facts About Antibiotic Safety: Antibiotics can cause side effects such as allergic reactions and severe and potentially life-threatening diarrhea caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C. diff).

Antibiotics can also interfere with other medications you may be taking. Antibiotic side effects account for nearly one-fifth of  emergency room visits. These conditions are the most common reasons for emergency room visits for children under the age of 18. Taking antibiotics you don't need unnecessarily exposes you  to the drug's side effects and denies you the benefits.
