Wow that is a lot of reading. You should be wise and do it yourself. To much sorry .
Answer:
Microarray technology is a very useful technology that allows to study the measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously. It consists of a solid support (that can be glass, silice, or nylon), and to it are attached a lot of single stranded DNA fragments that acts like probes. By complementarity, the genes corresponding to this probes that are being expressed at some time will attach to it. Probe-target hybridization is usually detected and quantified by detection of a fluorophore compund, a silver stained, or chemiluminescence-labeled targets.
Answer:
The continental plate is the location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.
Explanation:
Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.
This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.
Sexual reproduction:
Advantages: A species can evolve or adapt to changing environments, genetic diversity
Disadvantages: Time and energy needed to find a mate, requires both male and female gametes, one individual cannot reproduce
Asexual reproduction:
Advantages: Only one individual is needed to reproduce, doesn’t require time or energy to find a mate, can reproduce rapidly in good conditions
Disadvantages: No genetic variation, all of the offspring have the same weaknesses, can’t adapt or evolve
