Most EQ and volcanic activity occurs along the Pacific ring of fire. This is a region spanning the Pacific Ocean where plate tectonic motion occurs the most, hence is also a site of active volcanic activity.

How does the sexual life cycle of the human species introduce genetic variations?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

In humans, genetic variations are caused because humans reproduce by a sexual life cycle which is termed as meiosis. In such a life cycle, the offspring receives half the chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. Crossing over and  random assortment of chromosomes are two phenomenons which occur during meiosis. Due to these two phenomenons, genetic variations are caused.

During crossing over, the exchange of DNA segments between the homologous chromosomes takes place which brings about the genetic variations.

Use the mechanisms of meiosis to explain why most mules are sterile.
Tema [17]

Answer:

3. An even number of chromosomes are required for synapsis during prophase I and proper pairing during metaphase

Explanation:

Mules are hybrids of a cross between a female horse and a male donkey. Horses contain 64 chromosomes while donkeys contain 63 chromosomes in their somatic cells respectively. This means that they each produce 32 and 31 chromosomes respectively during meiosis. A mule, hence, contains 32+31= 63 chromosomes in their somatic cells.

This chromosome number in mules are uneven for meiosis to occur because meiotic division requires that an even number of homologous chromosomes pair together in a process called SYNAPSIS during prophase I of meiosis I. This is impossible in a mule because of the uneven number of chromosomes in its cells.

Also, during metaphase of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes need to be properly aligned at the equator for separation to occur. This is also impossible in a mule considering the number of chromosomes that don't add up.

Due to this reason of unevenness in the number of chromosomes present in a mule, meiosis will not occur and if meiosis (gamete formation) does not occur, reproduction cannot take place. Therefore, the mule is a sterile species i.e. cannot produce offsprings via sexual reproduction.

How is energy from flowing water different from iron,petroleum or coal ?
Sati [7]
The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.  
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.
