Describe the main differences between the inheritance patterns for a dimpled chin and for height
Tpy6a [65]
I believe the answer is that a dimpled chin is controlled by a single gene with multiple alleles and height is controlled by many genes. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and they are responsible for differences in phenotypic expression of a given trait. A gene for which at least two alleles exist is said to be polymorphic.

What landform is created when 1 oceanic plate and 1 continental plate move apart at a Divergent Boundary?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that molten lava rises to fill. Current research indicates that complex convection within the Earth's mantle allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
