Melanophores are small pigments that are present in the dermis layer of the skin of a shark. They impart a gray color to the dorsal and lateral surface area of the shark. They help in background adaptation and countershading of the body, which makes a shark difficult to be seen.

How is a mantle plume (hot spot) different from volcanoes in the Ring of Fire? How are they similar? Give one specific example o
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The difference between a hot spot volcano and the volcanoes from Ring of Fire can mainly be seen in the way of formation and functioning. The hot spot volcanoes are far away from any tectonic plate boundary and they manage to penetrate the crust over them and come out on the surface to usually create volcanic islands. The activity of the volcanoes from the Ring of Fire depends directly from the activity between the bordering tectonic plates, and as the borders move over time, the volcanoes stop existing, and new ones rise in the direction where the boundary moves.

The similarity can be seen in the type of eruptions, and that usually both types of volcanoes form volcanic islands.

Example for a hot spot volcano is Mauna Loa on Hawaii.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<em>Yes, the following description is true.</em>

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder. This means that only one allele recessive allele for the trait in males will cause the disease to occur in males. However, for females, there should be two recessive alleles present for the gene for the trait to occur. A female carrying one recessive allele for the trait will be a carrier.

If a father is hemophiliac, this will mean that all the daughters will be carriers for the disease as they will have one of the allele for the trait from the father. On the other hand, about half of the sons will have the disease if they get the recessive allele from the father for the trait.
