The answer is anthrax. Anthrax refers to a disease caused by a species of bacteria called Bacillus anthracis. There are four forms of the bacterial infection:<span> skin, lungs, intestinal, and injection. Symptoms of skin infection include small blisters on the skin which then turn into ulcers with black centers. Symptoms of lung infection include</span><span> fever, chest pain, and </span>shortness of breath.<span> Intestinal infection results in bloody diarrhea,  abdominal pains, and nausea and vomiting.</span><span> Infection through injection results in fever and an </span>abscess<span> at the site of </span>injection.

Which of the following statements are true about the homologous chromosomes of a pair?
Black_prince [1.1K]

The statement that is true about homologous chromosomes of a pair is that homologous pair have the same genes at the same location (loci), but will possibly have different alleles.

<h3>What are homologous chromosomes?</h3>

Homologous chromosomes are set of chromosomes that possess similar but non-identical genes.

Homologous chromosomes are from each parent of an organism i.e. male and female parent.

The homologous chromosomes is responsible for the diploid state of an organism, however, it becomes separated during the anaphase 1 stage of meiosis.

Therefore, the satement that is true about homologous chromosomes of a pair is that homologous pair have the same genes at the same location (loci), but will possibly have different alleles.

The forelimbs of bats and humans have a very similar bone structure even though they appear very different on the outside
Vaselesa [24]

The forelimbs of all mammals are homologous traits, meaning that they originate from a common ancestral trait.

The correct answer is therefore C. Homologies (homologous traits), from the same common ancestor.

(To clarify, we know it is from a common ancestor because both bats and humans are mammals)

What most likely happens when lithospheric plates move apart deep below the ocean?
Alisiya [41]

Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.

Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.

Explanation:

Question 1: Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.

When lithospheric plates move apart they create divergent plate margin where magma seeps up along the plate boundary and forms series of mountains. The mid oceanic ridge was formed this way.

  • The lithosphere lies on the weak and molten asthenosphere.
  • Different plate interactions produces a wide range of plate movement.
  • Along a divergent margin usually, two oceanic plates are forced to move apart.
  • The forces the asthenosphere to rise through seeps as magmatic bodies.
  • The rising magma them crystallizes along the margins of the plate to form mountain chains like the mid-oceanic ridge.
  • It is common to find young rocks at the plate margin and the older ones away from spreading centers.

Question 2: Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.

Scarcity of space leads to competition between organisms and availability of mates creates genetic variations.

  • In an ecosystem with limited space, there will pressure on available resources.
  • This will lead to different organism developing strategies to efficiently adapt to their environment.
  • Organisms will in turn begin to compete with one another for the limited resources.

When we have a diverse number of mating options, genetic variation occurs. This suggests that we can have different gene combination as a result of the mating organisms.

A variation in the genetic pool of a place leads to better adaptable traits to survive the environment.
