What is it called when a string of islands that forms where two convergent boundaries collide?

Biology
1 answer:
just olya [345]3 years ago
7 0

When two convergent boundaries collide, especially in the ocean, an Island arc is formed.

When these  two convergent plates collide, the older plate which is denser subducts beneath the younger plate.  As the subducting plate is pushed deeper into the mantle, it melts. The magma this creates rises and erupts. This forms a line of volcanoes known as an island arc , with considerable earth quakes created.

Examples of island arcs include Japan, Indonesia, the Phillipine Islands and the Aleutian Islands  of Alaska.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

D.They contain a regulatory domain that is functional when removed from the DNA-binding domain.

Explanation:

Transcriptional activators are transcriptional factors that positively regulate transcription of the gene (increase gene transcription). They usually contain two functional domains:

  1. DNA-binding domain which interacts with DNA
  2. Activation domain which interacts with other proteins.

Mechanism of action of activators includes their binding to the enhancers (DNA sequences) and recruitment of RNA polymerase II to the promoter.
