At which type of plate boundary do tectonic plates slide past each other?

The answer would be conservative plate boundaries.

They occur where plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or in the same direction but at different speeds. Friction is eventually overcome and the plates slip past in a sudden movement. The shockwaves created produce an earthquake.

I hope this helped and is correct! :)

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Plate motion takes place due to the generation of the convection current in the mantle. This mechanism forces the lithospheric crusts to move over the asthenosphere layer. This plate motion takes place in three ways-

1) <u>Divergent plate motion</u>- here, the two plates move in the opposite direction.

2) <u>Convergent plate motion</u>- here, the two plates move towards each other.

3) <u>Transform plate motion</u>- here, the <u>two plates slide past each other</u>. This type of plate boundary is also known as the <u>conservative plate boundary</u> as in this type of plate boundary, the plates are neither destroyed nor created. There occurs the conservation of plate boundary. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated due to this type of plate motion.

Thus the correct answer is option (4).

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease, results only when individuals possess two copies of the disease-causing allele.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a. Heterozygous individuals may pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to offspring.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease  ---- Let say the recessive lethal diseases is s

∴ it only results when an individual posses two copies of the diseases-causing allele i.e two copies of the disease will be ss.

Now, when two hetrozygous individuals crossed , it is obvious that each can pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring.

Let show an illustration for the above statement.

Let the heterozygous individual be Ts, if Ts cross with another Ts;

we will have:

Ts × Ts

         T          s

T        TT        Ts

s        Ts          ss

the offspring are TT,Ts,Ts,ss

We can now see how the Heterozygous individuals pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring (Ts).

Carbon dioxide can be transported through the blood via three methods. It is dissolved directly in the blood, bound to plasma proteins or hemoglobin, or converted into bicarbonate.

The majority of carbon dioxide is transported as part of the bicarbonate system. Carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells. Inside, carbonic anhydrase converts carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is subsequently hydrolyzed into bicarbonate (HCO3−) and H+. The H+ ion binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, and bicarbonate is transported out of the red blood cells in exchange for a chloride ion. This is called the chloride shift.

Bicarbonate leaves the red blood cells and enters the blood plasma. In the lungs, bicarbonate is transported back into the red blood cells in exchange for chloride. The H+ dissociates from hemoglobin and combines with bicarbonate to form carbonic acid with the help of carbonic anhydrase, which further catalyzes the reaction to convert carbonic acid back into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is then expelled from the lungs.

Surface currents in the Northern Hemisphere rotate in a _______ direction. In the Southern Hemisphere, the surface currents rota
trapecia [35]

Explanation:

Surface currents in the Northern Hemisphere rotate in a Clockwise direction whereas in  the Southern Hemisphere, the surface currents rotate in a anticlockwise direction. This happens because of the Coriolis effect, because of this Coriolis effect surface currents are shifted to angle of 45°. Therefore, it deflects the current towards right in northern hemisphere and towards left in southern hemisphere.
