How are the mantle-asthenosphere and the asthenosphere-lithosphere alike?

1 answer:

4 0

The lithosphere is the crust + the rigid upper mantle, while the asthenosphere is deeper and relatively fluid. The asthenosphere is believed to move in convection currents pushing the lithosphere plates.

Similarities:
Both are within 200km depth from the earth's surface.
Both allow Earthquake P-waves to pass through them.
Both are constituted of relatively low density material, mostly silicate (SiO2) rock (Rich in Fe, Mg).
Both are of relatively low temperature compared the the rest of the earth.

We know prior work that the raptors have 6 chromosomes in their body cells. This means that their egg and sperm have _____ chrom

77julia77 [94]

Three chromosomes each.

Explanation:

Egg and sperm are gametes.
Gametes are produced by meiosis, the cell division that reduces the chromosome number to Half.
The Gametes need to be Haploid so that the Chromosome number of the species is maintained. Otherwise the Chromosome number would have doubled in each progeny.
Thus, clearly we can conclude that the eggs and sperms of raptors have three chromosomes each.

Why were some bacteria and viruses were radioactive at the end of the Hershey chase experiment?

mojhsa [17]

Radioactive isotopes got scattered in the experiment which contained radion, however, the bacteria didn't have a high amount of radiation. You even eat radiation every day. For Example, a banana has approximately 1/1,000,000 sieverts. in order for that radiation to kill you, you would need the radiation of 2 sieverts, or 2 trillion bananas.
