What happened to the strips of clay as they were pushed from opposite ends?

Biology

Answer : The strips of clay would get buckled up upwards when pushed from the opposite ends.


As clay is soft material and can be easily molded into different shapes and sizes so it gets bended.


It can be related to the ecological change in the environment for formation of mountains from lithosphere.

Answer:

When the clay strips are pushed from opposite sides, the tectonic plates move, causing a collision and elevation of the earth's surface.

Explanation:

The pushing of the clay strips on opposite sides causes the tectonic plates to move, causing them to collide.

When the tectonic plates meet and collide, the most impacted or the lightest ones, it sinks below the denser plate, creating an elevation of the surface, while folding and forming a double layer and higher, forming what we call mountains.

In the 1940's, while studying genetic inheritance in corn plants, Barbara McClintock discovered that segments of DNA could move
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer is option (C) transposons or jumping genes.  

Barbara McClintock was an american cytogeneticist. In 1940s, she discovered the phenomenon of transposition brought about by the mobile genetic elements or jumping genes or the transposable elements. These jumping genes refers to a sequence of DNA which can change its position in the genome or the genetic constitution of an organism. She discovered these jumping genes in the Maize for the first time and received the nobel prize in 1983.

Jumping genes form a major portion of the eukaryotic genome. They are often responsible for mutations and associated with the duplication of the genetic material. They also cause the structural changes in the chromosomes like inversion, deletion and translocation which are called the chromosomal aberrations.
