"Larva" is a stage in the life cycle of an insect among the following choices given in the question that a <span>caterpillar represents. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.</span>
It's safe to eat the fish there,” says Langley.So according to officials and experts, it is safe to eat that Mississippi River catfish.
Answer:
The correct option is D. Genes determine the trait of an organism.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because genes can be described as the hereditary molecules that determine the characteristics of a person.
Option A is false because each gene is made up of different nucleotide sequences.
Option B is false because genes do not occur as the same number of chromosomes. Rather, there are many genes present on a single chromosome.
Option C is false because all genes are not located in a specific location. Each gene has its specific location on the chromosome which is known as its locus.
Option E is false because genes are not units of RNA. Genes are made up of DNA.
Answer:
Explanation:
A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.[1] These collisions happen on scales of millions to tens of millions of years and can lead to volcanism, earthquakes, orogenesis, destruction of lithosphere, and deformation. Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types.
Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle. Convection cells are the result of heat generated by radioactive decay of elements in the mantle escaping to the surface and the return of cool materials from the surface to the mantle.[2] These convection cells bring hot mantle material to the surface along spreading centers creating new crust. As this new crust is pushed away from the spreading center by the formation of newer crust, it cools, thins, and becomes denser. Subduction begins when this dense crust converges with less dense crust. The force of gravity helps drive the subducting slab into the mantle.[3] As the relatively cool subducting slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it is heated, causing hydrous minerals to break down. This releases water into the hotter asthenosphere, which leads to partial melting of asthenosphere and volcanism. Both dehydration and partial melting occurs along the 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) isotherm, generally at depths of 65 to 130 km (40 to 81 mi).[4][5]
Some lithospheric plates consist of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. In some instances, initial convergence with another plate will destroy oceanic lithosphere, leading to convergence of two continental plates. Neither continental plate will subduct. It is likely that the plate may break along the boundary of continental and oceanic crust. Seismic tomography reveals pieces of lithosphere that have broken off during convergence
