What would happen to the oceans if continental and oceanic crust had the same density?

Biology
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The oceanic crust is formed by partial melting of the mantle at mid-ocean ridges. The continental crust is formed even more cycles of partial melting over time, resulting less dense rocks.

Explanation:

The mantle, oceanic crust, and continental crust all have different compositions due to a process called partial melting.

This is where you start to melt a rock, but don´t melt it all the way.

When you partially melt a rock, certain chemical elements tend to stay in the solid rock while others tend to go into the melted part.

As a result, the rock that forms from that melt is less dense than the original rock.

If you then partially melt that rock, you get a rock that is even lighter.

Explain how the independent alignment of homologs, and also crossing-over during the first meiotic division, each contribute to
BartSMP [9]

Answer: Homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. And they exchange segments of DNA during crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gamete cells, which are sex cells (egg and sperm)

Chromosomes that form a pair and are found together are called homologous chromosomes, and they are inherited from each parent. During prophase of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. This recombination creates genetic diversity because genes from each parent are exchanged. <u>It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.</u>

After that, during the anaphase of meiosis I, the two chromosomes line up on the equatorial plane of the cell. Then, they are separated and each will go to a new daughter cell. So homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, <u>this means different chromosomes segregate independently of each other.</u>
