Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of numerous lithospheric plates. This lithosphere is comprised of dozens of major plates and a few minor plates. These plates are constantly in motion over the less dense asthenosphere layer where the rocks tend to flow during deformation. This plate motion takes place due to the creation of convection current in the mantle region as a result of which the plates move under the influence of uprising magma. These currents are formed because of the heat supplied from the core of the earth.

Some of the major plates are Indo-Australian plate, North American Plate, South American plate and the Pacific plate.

Some of the minor plates include the Cocos plate, Nazca plate, and Caribbean plate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

Which of the following bacterial genera produce(s) endospores?
Archy [21]

Answer:

E) Both Bacillus and Clostridium.

Explanation:

Bacterial endospores production is part of its survival mechanism. Bacteria produces these highly resistant spores that lies dormant in vegetative state, used during unfavourable and stressful environmental conditions. They are produced by gram positive bacteria such as Bacillus and Clostridium, and can lay dormant for years. Endospores are non-reproductive structures resistant to radiations, starvation and chemical disinfectants.
