How many kilometers has the left side of the pacific basin spread in 2 million years

By left I guess that you mean the western side of the Pacific Basin. There is no longer a spreading ridge on the western side of the Pacific Basin--so the floor is no longer spreading. The seafloor and the paleomagnetic stripes on the seafloor of the Western Pacific were actually created many millions of years ago. In fact, the western side of the Pacific Basin is being subducted--so, the western ocean floor is actually disappearing beneath Japan, New Zealand, etc. 
<span>In the southeastern part of the Pacific, there is still a spreading ridge, the East Pacific Rise, off of Central and South America. And there are little remnants of spreading ridges just off the the Northwest coast of North America </span>
<span>The Atlantic Basin, on the other hand, which has a spreading ridge right down its middle, and has only insignificant subduction along its margin (beneath Caribbean plate), is still getting wider. </span>

The frequency of carriers for a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition is 0.04 in a population. Assuming this population is
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg principle states that frequency of alelle and genotype will remain constant in the absence of genetic disturbances such as mutation, no change in the DNA sequence, the population must be large and others

the principle is defined by the equation

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where the frequency of the dominant allele is p, and the frequency of the recessive allele is q. Going by the what is given which is for the carriers is 0.04 = 2pq

substitute the value into the expression

p² + 0.04  +  q² = 1;  The information is not enough to calculate either p or q going by the equation generated.

Team of scientists is studying several plant species that they think could become new farm crops. The scientists want to apply s
Ratling [72]

Answer:

B. very high genetic variation

Explanation:

Selective breeding is the process by which crops or animals with desired phenotypic traits are chosen to produce offspring, which will contain the desired qualities. In this case, a group of scientists is trying to apply the principles of selective breeding to develop a particular crop plant.

This goal of producing a useful crop plant by the scientists can only be achieved when the plant species in question possess a HIGH GENETIC VARIATION i.e. difference in genetic constitution of individuals of the same species. This allows the individuals in the population to survive better.

You are given two true-breeding groups of rabbits. The first group has floppy ears and white coat color. The second group has st
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Option E, Floppy ears are dominant over straight ears; coat color is determined by incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Let the allele for floppy ears be "F" and the allele for straight ears be "f"

And Let the allele for black coat color be "B" and the color for white coat color be "b"

Now, the cross is carried out between the first group having floppy ears and white coat color (FFbb) and the second group having straight ears and black coat color (ff BB)

The 16 offspring have genotype FfBb

Phenotype of 16 offspring is Floppy ears and grey coat

Ff represents the floppy ear , thus "F" is dominant over "f"

Bb represents the grey color which is a case of incomplete dominance in which none of the real trait i.e black or white is expressed.

Hence, option E is correct
