The statement which geologists assume is true is that plates are denser than the oceanic crust.

 A section of lithosphere which slowly moves over the asthenosphere, carrying pieces of continental and oceanic crust.
Seafloor spreading is termed as the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the floor of oceans. A divergent boundary is where plates move away from each other by forming rift valleys or oceanic ridges.

Which labels best complete the flow chart?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The labels that best complete the flow chart are:

X: Free nitrogen is in the atmosphere and Y: Producers captivate components of nitrogen via their roots.

Explanation:

Soil comprises nitrogen, it is taken up by the plants accompanied by other minerals in the process of taking water from the soil. The presence of nitrogen in the soil takes place by the process of decomposition of decaying and dead substances. The process of decomposition dissociates nitrogen and discharges it within the soil. This nitrogen is eventually taken up by the plants.  

Label X shows that in the air presence of nitrogen takes place in its free state, as it is one of the gases found in abundance in the atmosphere of the Earth.

Zanzabum

Mutation rate of Gram negative bacteria is much greater than that of Gram positive bacteria.

Explanation:

The gram positive types of bacteria responsible for causing diseases in humans. It is called as Gram positive bacteria. Both the bacteria are different in structural and physical properties. It is defined as the group of bacteria’s which positive result in gram stain test.

Gram negative bacteria are the group of bacteria’s which gives negative result to the gram stain test. This classification is done according to the cell wall. The cause of common disease by Gram positive bacteria is our anthrax, diphtheria, etc.

Most likely a silent mutation. Silent mutations are mutations in DNA that do not have an observable effect on the organism's phenotype because the same amino acid is produced regardless of the change in the nucleotide sequence by the mutation.
