Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

3. In one population, 18 individuals have long hair and 182 individuals have short hair. It is known thatmating has been random
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: p (short hair) = 0.91 and q (long hair) = 0.09

Explanation: In the population, short hair is a feature of domnant allele, because there are more short haired individuals than with long hair. In genetics, p is the frequency for dominant allele and q is for recessive allele.

For this question, short hair is allele L and long hair is allele l

So, the frequency of short hair is p and of long hair is q.

To calculate the frequencies:

Frequency of allele L = (number of copies of allele L in population) / (total number of L/l gene copies in population)

p = 182/200 = 0.91

The same formula goes for the recessive allele, so:

q = 18/200 = 0.09

Thus, the frequencies of hair allele are 0.91 and 0.09 for short and long, respectively.

Question 7
azamat

Answer:

A string is placed under a solution and a crystal grows on the string because the solution is supersaturated.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option B.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is defined as a solution in which there is no more space for the solute to be added. All the words in the solution is been filled with the solute which is been added before and mixed well to fill up all the pores. Supersaturated solution is defined as a solution which has a greater number of solute than it was being capable of holding.

As it is clear from the name supersaturated which means more than saturation. And when string is placed under this solution there are some crystal which grows on the strings because of the solute saturation which is being attached to the string.
