The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.

Hope this helps! Feel free to mark me brainliest!

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Solution A-It will likely swell up since you put it in a hypotonic solution

Solution B- Since you placed it in a hypertonic solution, its gonna shrivel up and become smaller

Explanation:

Solution A- Placing Elodea cells into 100% water, which is more hypotonic than freshwater, also causes water movement into of the cells resulting in the swelling of the cells. ... As water moves out of the cells there is a loss of turgor pressure and the plasma membranes detach from the cell walls as the cells shrink.

B- When the Elodea was placed in the salt solution, the vacuoles disappeared and the protoplasm came away from the cell wall making the organelles appear to be clumped in the middle of the cell. ... Therefore, if it were placed in a hypertonic solution it would lose water and shrivel.

Hope this helps! Brainliest??Anyways have a great day my loves<3

Different forms of a given gene are known as
yulyashka [42]

Answer: alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a given gene. Alleles are mutated forms of a given gene which controls a particular trait. For instance, the gene that codes for hemoglobin is denoted with the letter A but the gene has another variant denoted by S. In abnormal hemoglobin S (sickle hemoglobin), glutamate is replaced by valine at position 6 in the amino acid sequence of the two beta chains of hemoglobin. This change in the amino acid sequence causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape resulting in sickle cell disease. Therefore hemoglobin A and S are alleles of a given gene.
