The San Andreas fault is a ____ boundary where many earthquakes have occurred.

1 answer:

5 0

The San Andreas is a major transform fault whereby there is lateral movement between the sides of the fault and movement on it is part of the readjustment of the tectonic plates. This is as opposed to convergent plate boundaries like off the coast of British Columbia whereby the oceanic plate is pushing under the continental plate.

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

amplification: MUTATION = a type of mutation

independent assortment: MENDELIAN = how different

genes independently separate from one another

when reproductive cells develop

nondisjunction: MUTATION = a type of chromosomal

mutation

translocation: MUTATION = another type of chromosomal

mutation

codominance: MENDELIAN = a relationship between two

genes where neither allele is recessive and both

are expressed

insertion: MUTATION = a type of mutation

radiation: MUTATION = causes mutations

virus: MUTATION = causes mutations as the virus

replicates

deletion: MUTATION = a type of mutation

law of dominance: MENDELIAN = one of Mendel's laws

of inheritance

sex linked traits: MENDELIAN = linkage is an exception

to Mendel's law of independent assortment

incomplete dominance: MENDELIAN = when none of the

factors of a gene is dominant and there is a blend,

such as a red flower crossed with a white flower

turns out pink

law of segregation: MENDELIAN = one of Mendel's laws

of inheritance

substitution: MUTATION = a type of mutation

PLEASE HELP ME <br> What are the steps to photosynthesis

RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, molecules in leaves capture sunlight and energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrate molecules. That energy within those covalent bonds will be released when they are broken during cell respiration. How long lasting and stable are those covalent bonds? The energy extracted today by the burning of coal and petroleum products represents sunlight energy captured and stored by photosynthesis almost 200 million years ago.

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”). Other organisms, such as animals, fungi, and most other bacteria, are termed heterotrophs (“other feeders”) because they must rely on the sugars produced by photosynthetic organisms for their energy needs. A third very interesting group of bacteria synthesize sugars, not by using sunlight’s energy, but by extracting energy from inorganic chemical compounds; hence, they are referred to as chemoautotrophs.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The prevailing wind direction is West, even though natural wind direction is East. The West winds prevail because they are much stronger. The way this works is that the San Francisco Bay water is a constant cool temperature (around 50-60 degrees).
