<span>Scientist think convection currents are what cause earths plates to move. a convetion current is caused by the diffrence in the temperature, Mantle material close to the earths core is very hot. Mantle material near the lithosphere is cooler.</span>

Which type of population growth is shown in this graph? Population of Bacteria mc012-1.jpg
Maslowich

Answer : Binary Fission which grows exponentially.

Explanation : Binary fission actually means binary - consisting two and fission - cleavage into halves. It is one of the modes of asexual reproduction.

This  type of fission is majorly observed in the asexual reproduction in prokaryotes. It is rarely seen in some some single-celled Eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium.

Also, In binary fission there is DNA replication and segregation which occurs simultaneously.

This increases the graph exponentially as the growth gets faster and faster with the passing period of time.

A reference image of binary fission is attached in the answer.

Brums [2.3K]

If a star of 50 solar masses were to supernova. It would most likely become a black hole.

A star is a hot body of glowing gas which starts its life in Nebulae. The stars vary in size, mass and temperature. The mass of a star ranges from 1/20 times to 50 solar mass.

The stage one of the stars is born in nebula, which is a region of very high density and then it gets condensed to a huge globule of gas and dust that contracts under its own gravity.

The next stage is a region of the condensing matter which starts heating up and glowing is known as Protostar. At stage three, hydrogen fuses and forms helium as the nuclear reactions start. Stage four is a Main Sequence star when it starts to release its energy, contraction stops and it begins to shine.

Some of the stars have mass more than 3 times of the Sun and up to 50 times the mass of the sun.

When the surviving core is between 1.5-3 solar mass, with higher contraction making it tiny and dense a Neutron star is formed. If the core is greater than 3 solar masses then the core further contracts to become a Black Hole.

Very large premolar and molar teeth, a sagittal crest, heavy mandibles, and wide zygomatic arches are found in modern gorillas,
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Australopithecus.

Explanation:

<em>Australopithecus</em> is an extinct genus of a large group of animals called primates. This genus is closely related to humans which may or may not be ancestors of <em>Homo sapiens</em>.

Australopithecus exhibits traits of both ape and human-like which is distinguished by the small size of the brain, smaller canine teeth but large molar and premolar teeth, broad dish-shaped face, sagittal crest, large molar teeth, flared zygomatic arches and sloping forehead.

Thus, option- Australopithecus is the correct answer.

Part a - identifying the processes of replication, gene expression, and recombination this activity requires that you correctly
Naddika [18.5K]
I found the exercise on the internet with the images and brief descriptions. Attached is an image of it.

To the DNA replication bin:
-Image of one cell dividing into two cells, and the mother cell has its DNA being unfolded and replicated.
-"DNA -> 2DNA (copying one DNA molecule to make two identical DNA molecules)"

To the <span>gene expression bin:
-Image of only one cell with some arrows within it indicating the gene expression flow: DNA -> mRNA -> protein
</span>-"DNA->mRNA->protein"<span>
-"transcription"
-"translation"

To the </span><span>recombination bin:
-Image with two cells being one the donor and the other one the recipient. The recipient has DNA with different colours pretending to represent that its DNA has different origins.
-"transformation"
-"conjugation"
-"transduction"</span>
