4 0

Answer:

Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle. Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest.

Explanation:

Why do tectonic plates move? The main driving force of plate tectonics is gravity. If a plate with oceanic lithosphere meets another plate, the dense oceanic lithosphere dives beneath the other plate and sinks into the mantle. This process is called subduction.

The potato crop devastation occurred in Ireland for not using one single potato species.

Explanation:

Potato became the staple crop of 18th Century Ireland and was easy to grow in the soil of this place.  Later, it became the most dependent crop of the people of Ireland which made its supply very demanding leading to the yielding of more than one species of potatoes.

This yielding reduced the variety in the genetics of potatoes that helped in preventing the disease that affect potatoes by making the Irish people susceptible to famine. The Phytopthora bacteria affected the potatoes of North America in the year 1840 and Ireland’s moist weather in that same year made the blight to thrive.

In a population of seals, most of the seals have similar coloring. However, one seal has albinism. This seal is white and is alm
erica [24]
The answer is gene mutation.

Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized by a complete or partial absent of pigment in skin, eyes or hair. It is a recessive disorder, which means that parents must not have the disorder. But if both of them carry a recessive allele, and offspring inherit the recessive alleles from mother and father, the offspring will have albinism. Anyway, it is pretty rare, since it is the recessive trait, and most of the offspring will have normal coloring.
