A branch point on a phylogenetic tree is a separation point, from where a lineage is evolved into a new different lineage. The basal taxon is the unbranched lineages which evolved from the root.
<u>Answer</u>: 2
The convection currents shown in points 1 and 3 transfer heat from the outer core (number 4) to the lithosphere. Here, the lower density hot magma breaks apart the plates at <em>point 2</em> creating a divergent plate boundary. <u>This new magma mass will drive a lateral movement of the plates</u>. The edges of the plates which have a higher density basalt rock will sink into the mantle and get consumed in trenches/subduction zones
Charles Darwin theorized that all species undergo a natural cycle of evolution in order for the species to survive and thrive within its given environment. In the case of a catastrophic event, Mother Nature will naturally find a way to support life and the organisms that are within her care.
Parameters are basically variable that are used in the definition of a function used to present arguments passed in a function. Parameters may help generalize the solution of a given problem in a function. Functions with parameters can therefore be used to prevent duplicated code creation in programming. Therefore, the statement B and C are correct.
