The process by which the oceanic crust<span> is pulled </span>under<span> the </span>continental crust<span> is called </span>subduction<span> and the zone at which this occurs at the plate boundaries is called the </span>subduction<span> zone.</span>
<span>a. biosphere
</span>
Matter moves through the biosphere by being cycled through various organic and inorganic stages. They are neither created nor destroyed. The biosphere is known as a closed system so no elements can escape. They are continually being recycled.<span>
</span><span>The flow of energy moves through living organisms via the food chain. A food chain is a diagram which shows how every living thing gets energy to live. Plants use the sun, nutrients in the soil and water to generate energy. Herbivores eat the plants to generate energy to survive. Carnivores eat the herbivores to generate energy. </span>
According to kagmi on yahoo these are three lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution.
The fossil record shows the existence of billions of extinct species. It also shows a clear progression from one species to the next; there are many "transitional fossils," such as the archeoptryx (probably spelled that wrong, lol) which is clearly an intermediate in the evolution of dinosaurs into birds.
<span>Biogeography shows the distribution of species, providing further support that different species can and do evolve from common ancestors. Australia has many species of marsupials not found on other continents, for example; this implies that these species may have shared a common ancestor which lived on Australia when it was separated from the other continents by continental drift. </span>
<span>Molecular biology allows us to analyze genes and proteins down to the very molecules that make them up. This reveals many similarities and differences between organisms not readily apparent to the naked eye. We can see, for example, that humans share the vast majority of their DNA with all mammals; slightly less with reptiles; slightly less with amphibians, and so on. We find that species' DNA sequences match up well with the fossil record in terms of how closely related the species are. </span>
Answer: 2 alleles
The number of the allele that a gene contains could be various. The allele will determine the phenotype of the organism, so more allele means more possible combination. There is only 1 gene that control the corn height and that gene only has two alleles. So, the total allele that controls the corn height should be: 1 gene * 2 alleles/gene= 2 alleles
