Earthquakes only occur at transfer boundaries where two tectonic plates will slide or rub past each other.
If there are no boundaries in mid-America, then earthquakes are not possible.

Through the course of evolution, plants have developed smaller gametophytes and larger sporophytes. Study the list of plants. Th
Lapatulllka [165]

Ans.

Gametophyte shows haploid, gamete-forming stage of plant's life cycle, while sporophyte shows diploid, spore-forming stage of plant's life cycle. In green algae, gametophytes and sporophytes are isomorphic (indistinguishable). In bryophytes, such as mosses, gametophyte shows dominant stage as it is most visible stage in their life-cycle. In vascular plants, such as ferns and seed plants, sporophytes show dominant stage.  

Thus, 'seed plants show briefest gametophyte stage' and 'mosses show longest gametophyte stage.'

Which observation provides evidence that a cell is most like/ya prokaryote?
Over [174]

Answer:

C. It has DNA that is not contained within a nucleus.  

Explanation:

If we look at golgi apparatus, they are one of the most prominent characteristic of a eukaryotic cell because they are membrane bounded organelles. As we know that in prokaryotic cells there are no membrane bounded organelles so option A is incorrect.

If we talk about long tail like structure, then it can be correct option because many prokaryotic organisms like bacteria have flagella for movement. However, there is Euglena which has flagella but it is a eukaryote. It means that option B can be false.

If we look at option C, it says that DNA of the cell should not be necessarily in nucleus. This looks suited for prokaryotes like bacteria because they donot have any nucleus and DNA is positioned almost center of the cell without any nucleus. So option C is best option.

If we look at option D, again it cannot be right answer because they are one of the most prominent characteristic of a eukaryotic cell that their organelles are large and covered with membranes.

Hope it helps!

Homologous chromosomes are similar in all of these characteristics except:
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Except alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different versions of the same gene and that's because they have different DNA, even though it is slightly different it can make a lot of changes so that's why they have different alleles.

Allele is actually the variant form of some genes.

The best<u> example </u>for alleles we can find in the gene for blossom color in some species of flowers or plants. Only one single gene is controlling the color and we can see sometimes different versions of it. Those different versions are called Alleles.

A ____ is an agent that can cause infections and diseases.
Darina [25.2K]

<em>A </em><em>virus </em><em>is an agent that causes infections and diseases. </em>

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Viruses are microscopic parasites that infect cells of biological organisms. Viruses are obligate parasites, this is because viruses can only reproduce in living material by invading and utilizing the cells of living things because viruses do not have cellular equipment to reproduce themselves.

The term virus usually refers to particles that infect eukaryote cells (multicellular organisms and many types of single-cell organisms), while the term bacteriophage or phage is used for types that attack types of prokaryotic cells (bacteria and other organisms that do not cell nucleated).

The virus has been infecting since the days before Christ, this is evidenced by the existence of several discoveries, namely reports of virus infections in hieroglyphics in Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt (1400 BC) which shows the existence of poliomyelitis. In addition, King Pharaoh Ramses V died in 1196 BC and is believed to have died of the smallpox virus.

In 1880, Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch put forward a "germ theory" namely that microorganisms are the cause of disease. At that time also the famous Koch Postulate which is very well known today, namely:

  • A disease agent must be present in every case of the disease
  • The agent must be isolated from the host and can be grown in vitro
  • When the muri agent culture is inoculated into susceptible healthy host cells, it can cause disease
  • The same agent can be taken and re-isolated from the infected host

<h3>Various kinds of viral infections </h3>
  • Acute infections are infections that last for a short time but can also be fatal.
  • Chronic infection is a prolonged viral infection so there is a risk of symptoms of the disease coming back.
