Study the illustration below of the plate tectonics affecting the continent of Africa. Divergent plates are causing the East Afr

ican Rift Zone to spread. This area is a deep valley surrounded by mountains, similar to a mid-ocean ridge. What do you predict will eventually happen at the East African Rift Zone?
- Lake Victoria will shrink and disappear as all the plates converge

- The African plate will grow larger as all of the plates converge

- water from the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean will flow into the rift and flood the area

- The Indian Ocean will shrink and disappear as the Rift Zone gets larger

water from the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean will flow into the rift and flood the area

Explanation:

The rift in east Africa is a divergent margin where two plates are moving away from one another.

Eventually, what will happen is that the separation will lead to the formation of  a basin and the water from the nearby ocean will fill it up.

The proximal water body here are the water in the Indian Ocean.

The oceans of the world today were once together and the continents apart too.

When the continents started moving apart, the oceans filled the void left behind. This same process will occur in East Africa rift valley system.

Using at least 3 steps explain how to make a wet mount slide with an Elodea plant​
Masja [62]
Step One - Obtain a clean microscope slide.

Step Two - Place a drop of liquid on the slide. This is the “wet” part of the wet mount. The liquid used depends on the type of cell being viewed:
If examining a plant cell, tap water can be used.
If examining an animal cell, physiological saline (or contact lens solution) must be used, because if plain water is used, the cell will explode from osmotic pressure. Unlike plant cells and bacteria, animal cells have no cell wall to structurally support them.

Step Three - Obtain the specimen to be used. Some introductory biology classics for viewing include:
Skin of an onion bulb: In order to view the cells, a very thin layer of skin must be obtained. Take a single layer of onion and bend it towards the shiny side. After it snaps, pull gently, and a transparent layer of skin, similar to Scotch tape, will appear.
Elodea leaf: Elodea leaves are two cell layers thick. The cells in one layer are smaller than the cells in the other, so elodea leaves can be used to better understand a microscope's depth of field.
Cheek cells: Human epithelial cells can be obtained by gently rubbing a toothpick on the inside of the mouth, and then swirling the toothpick in the physiological saline on the slide.
Pond water: Obtaining some water from a pond makes wet mount preparation a breeze, since the water and the specimens are both included.

What happens if a population is not in hardy-weinberg equilibrium apex?
lianna [129]
<span>If a population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that can cause deviations from expectation depending on the assumptions of HW that are violated. If a population violates some of the assumptions (like mutations, migrations and selection) the allele frequencies will change over time. Also, if a non-random mating occurs (like inbreeding), it will cause an increase in homozygosity for all genes.</span>
