Answer:

Option D, Between converging oceanic and continental plates

Explanation:

Subduction zones/boundaries are formed in the regions in which one tectonic plate slips below the other tectonic plates. These tectonic plates could be a pair of oceanic/continental plates or one oceanic and one continental plate.

In a converging process, two tectonic plates move towards each other until they collide thereby causing slipping of one plate below the other. While in a diverging process, the two tectonic plates move away from each other and hence there is no chance of formation of subduction zone.

Thus, option D is correct.

Answer:

B. Between converging oceanic and continental plates

Subduction happens when a tectonic plate slides under another one.For this to occur, the two plates have to be converging towards each other.

  2. Drought resistance
  3. Increased yields

GMOs are projected to be the  future solution to tackling food security as human population grows, and dramatic changes in the global climate occur.  GMO will increase the yields hence feed more people and will withstand global climate change.

Which advance in biology resulted from developments in cell technology?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Immortal cell line

Explanation:

An immortalised cell line is a population of cells from a multicellular organism which would normally not proliferate indefinitely but, due to mutation, have evaded normal cellular operation and instead can keep undergoing division. The cells can therefore be grown for prolonged periods in vitro

Immortal cell lines are a very important tool for research into the biochemistry and cell biology of multicellular organisms. Immortalised cell lines have also found uses in biotechnology.
