Answer:
The earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (Fig. 7.14). Recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. It is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. Both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. The upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.
Each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. The term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. Other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the Great Rift lakes in eastern Africa and the rising of the Himalayan Mountain range. The motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

Collision: when two continental plates are shoved together
Subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (Fig. 7.15)
Spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (Fig. 7.15)
Transform faulting: when two plates slide past each othe

Answer:
Multiple alleles can modify the classical Mendelian ratio by increasing the number of phenotypes.
For example, in a monohybrid cross, Mendel gets only 2 phenotypes however, in ABO blood groups (a classical example of multiple alleles) there are four phenotypes present in a population.
Lethal alleles are the alleles which when expressed result in the death of an organism. These alleles can be dominant, recessive or conditional (depends on interaction with another gene).
Thus, lethal allele reduces the ratio of the phenotype associated with it by affecting the survival of the organism.
For example, lethal yellow allele in mice results changes the phenotype ratio from 3:1 to 2:1
It's called puberty. The moment in time where a children most likely go from kinda ugly to less ugly. LOL. You are all amazing. !!!!!!
Answer:
An ATOM!, is the smallest unit of matter that has characteristic properties of its element. Explanation: An atom a major part of the matter. (Everything in the world (except energy) is made of a material, and, so, everything in the universe is composed of atoms.
Need to subtract the 48N by 29N to get the resulting negative force of -19N
