Answer:

A. continental-oceanic convergent

Explanation:

  • Convergent boundaries are found in places where two plates move towards each other.
  • Continental-oceanic convergent is a type of convergent boundary which is formed if one plate which has an oceanic crust on the top movers toward another plate which has a continental crust on the top.
  • In the given scenario the Nazca plate is topped by the oceanic crust whereas the South American plate is topped by continental crust and as they move towards each other continental-oceanic convergent plate boundary is formed.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>A. continental-oceanic convergent</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A convergent boundary</u></em> is a type of boundary where two plates collide and push against one another.
  • <em><u>A continental-oceanic convergent</u></em> is a type of convergent boundary that occurs as a result of <em><u>subduction.</u></em> <em><u>Subduction occurs where a continental plate collide thus resulting to the oceanic plate being pushed underneath the continental plate</u></em> into the mantle since the oceanic plates are much thinner.
  • The result is that <em><u>the oceanic plates melts into hot magma which that burns its way up through the continental plate</u></em> forming a volcano and also causing earth quakes.

Reviewing Main ideas

1. Replication assures that every cell has a complete set of identical, genetic information and makes a copy of the DNA so it can be passed to the new cell. ... DNA polymerase binds the nucleotides together and forms new strands complementary to each template.

2. DNA is a double helix. So during replication, it unwinds and separates into 2 strands. 1 strand will be called the non-coding and the other will be called the coding strand.

The non-coding strand will be the template for the new one.

3. The DNA Polymerase detects if there is an error, it removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with the correct one.

Critical Thinking

4. The main function of DNA polymerase is to synthesize DNA from deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. ... By contrast, RNA polymerases synthesize RNA from ribonucleotides from either RNA or DNA. When synthesizing new DNA, DNA polymerase can add free nucleotides only to the 3' end of the newly forming strand.

5. Why is it important that human chromosomes have many origins of replication? because cells need to be copied quickly to replace cells in our bodies that have died, having many origins of replication helps the process happen faster.

The words that are in bold are the words you should write down. You don't have to write the whole thing. The other words are just for a better understaning.
