Answer:

d. two continental plates push against each other to form a mountain range

Explanation:

Converging plate boundaries occur when plates converge, that is, when they collide. The more dense plate dives over the less dense generating an area of intense magmatism. There are three types of convergence:

Convergence of two oceanic plates: When there is a collision between these two, the coldest, dense, ancient and thick plate, dives under the other, carrying part of the sediments accumulated on it. These sediments will fuse together with subduction ocean crust, generating intense volcanic activity, forming volcanic arcs or island arcs. Example: Mariana trenches, islands of Japan, etc.

Convergence of two continental plates: When there is a collision between two continental plates, the densest one dives over the other generating an intense metamorphism, that is, great mountain ranges. Example: Himalayan mountain range.

Convergence of a continental plate and an oceanic plate: When a collision occurs between these two plates, one oceanic and the other continental, it will cause the subduction of the continental plate, producing a continental magmatic arc or an abyssal pit at the edge of the continent. Example: Andes Mountains, Peru-Chile Fossa, respectively.

Accordingly, we can conclude that the letter D is the correct answer to your question.

What blood types are possible for a child whose parents both have AB blood type?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

-blood type a

-blood type b

-SOMETIMES type o but very rarely.

Explanation:

Each biological parent donates one of their two ABO alleles to their child. A mother who is blood type O can only pass an O allele to her son or daughter. A father who is blood type AB could pass either an A or a B allele to his son or daughter. While a child could have the same blood type as one of his/her parents, it doesn't always happen that way. For example, parents with AB and O blood types can either have children with blood type A or blood type B.

melisa1 [442]

Color blindness is a recessive x-linked trait in humans. In a family where the mother is color-blind, and the father is normal, the probability of their having a color-blind son is 100%.

Color blindness is a recessive x chromosome liked recessive disease which is more prone in males than in females. As the mother is color-blind she has both the alleles of colorblindness while the father is normal with both x chromosome and y chromosome normal.

So if the parents have a boy, he will always receive an x chromosome with colorblindness gene from the mother and a normal y chromosome from the father always. Thus, the probability of having a colorblind boy will be 100%.
