formed by plate tectonics.

Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. ... At a spreading center, basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed.

What happens to alleles between the p generation and the f2 generation?
ikadub [295]

<span>During the development of a gamete, the two alleles of the P generation separate.  Each gamete carries one allele from each parent which randomly pairs in the F1 generation. This mechanism repeats when F1 plants cross and yield F2 plants.  The outcome of the F2 generation would then have new combinations of alleles which can be different compared to the preceding generations.</span>

What happens right before transcription begins?
Ahat [919]
Transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, and it happens in the nucleus.  We can automatically rule out B.  B is incorrect because it doesn't make sense; how can a process stop before it even begins?

A.  I believe this is incorrect because mRNA is involved when the genetic information needs to leave the nucleus.  mRNA would take it to a ribosome outside of a nucleus.  Since transcription happens in the nucleus, mRNA is irrelevant before it starts.

C.  This doesn't really make sense.  mRNA carries information from the DNA, but not vice versa (in these early stages).

D.  This would make the most sense, since RNA polymerase needs to attach to the promoter on the strand before transcription can begin.

What will happen if we kill all the organisms in one trophic level?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: If we kill all the organisms in one trophic level, then transfer of energy as well as matter to next higher level will stop. It will lead to over- population at one particular level causing amongst the individuals. This would seriously disturb the food chain and can cause the collapse of an ecosystem even.

What type of graph curb symbolizes exponential growth?
Amanda [17]
An exponential growth graph looks pretty much like the right side of a parabola. The graph equation is f(x)= C ·a^x, so you can also plug in x values to find the y value. It's not a linear line, but it curves upwards starting from (0,0).

A group of students wants to study the structures of animals in the desert. One question they should ask is-
Brrunno [24]

From studies and research, I believe the proper question would be:

"How do the animals satisfy their need for water?" or "How long do the animals live?"

Explanation 1:

When studying the desert, asking "Can you buy the animals in pet stores?" is not going to help you find information about the desert because it is not a question to get information about the desert, only information if you just buy it at your local pet shop.

Explanation 2:

Asking "How many offspring do the animals have?" does help us learn about animals, but we are trying to find information on the structure of the desert in which the animals live in. We are not looking for how many children the animals will have because it doesn't fully relate to the question we would be asking.

Side Note: Offsprings mean children.
