Why do Earth’s crust remain the same size despite sea floor spreading?
mash [69]

Answer:

B. As new rocks are formed along mid-ocean ridges, older rocks are pushed down deep into the Earth into ocean trenches.

<h2>Why is the Earth not getting larger if the sea floor is slowly spreading?</h2>

Mainly due to the Atlantic experiencing seabed expansion. The sea bottom is subducting, or moving underground, in the Pacific. This is how the Earth's tectonic plates and geological activities function. The top side of the mantle travels to the bottom at one end and to the top at the other, similar to a conveyor belt. This explains why there are volcanoes, why continents drift, and why our planet's surface is continually changing over the span of millions of years.

Therefore, the planet is not getting bigger because its surface is constantly recycling itself.

1.) Explain how you identified the chromosomes in order to place them in the correct pairs.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

A chromosome is a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Most eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to prevent it from becoming an unmanageable tangle. This three-dimensional genome structure plays a significant role in transcriptional regulation.Chromosomes are normally visible under a light microscope only when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division (where all chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell in their condensed form). Before this happens, every chromosome is copied once (S phase), and the copy is joined to the original by a centromere, resulting either in an X-shaped structure (pictured here) if the centromere is located in the middle of the chromosome or a two-arm structure if the centromere is located near one of the ends. The original chromosome and the copy are now called sister chromatids. During metaphase the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome. In this highly condensed form chromosomes are easiest to distinguish and study.In animal cells, chromosomes reach their highest compaction level in anaphase during chromosome segregation.

Chromosomal recombination during meiosis and subsequent sexual reproduction play a significant role in genetic diversity. If these structures are manipulated incorrectly, through processes known as chromosomal instability and translocation, the cell may undergo mitotic catastrophe. Usually, this will make the cell initiate apoptosis leading to its own death, but sometimes mutations in the cell hamper this process and thus cause progression of cancer
