Answer:

B. At the edge of the plates

Explanation:

<u>Gravity </u>is the principal <u>driving force </u>of <u>plate tectonics </u>(second one is convection<u>)</u>. It causes different density plates to move on the Earth's surface. However, when a <u>denser plate coincides the less denser plate, the high density plate subducts</u> below the <u>lesser density plate</u>. The process, therefore, is called <u>subduction</u>. During this collision of plates, <u>shearing resistance increases</u> and all <u>pressures come at the edge of the plate</u>. The process continues and the lithosphere drags the rest of the plate. The portion of plate below the less denser plate then reaches the mantle. Here, the edge of plate is destroyed due to high temperature of mantle as well as pressure.

Consider two mammalian cells, one in G1 and the other in G0 (stationary) phase. If they are stimulated to pass the restriction p
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A, Both cells will replicate their DNA.

Explanation:

During the cell division, cell passes through several phases and divides. Before each phase, the cell has to pass through the checkpoints. At these cell checkpoints, the cell receives the internal and external signals.

When the cell is arrested at G₀ phase, the cell does not divide until it receives a signal to proliferate but when the cell passes the G₁ phase, the cell will divide continuously.

In the given question, if the cells when in their G₀ and G₁ phase receive proliferation signal, the G₀ phase cell will also divide and will replicate it DNA during S phase as G₁ phase cell will do.

Thus, Both the cells will divide their genetic material.
