Basaltic rocks of the ocean plates are much denser and heavier than the granitic rock of the continental plates. Because of this the continents ride on the denser oceanic plates. The crust and the upper layer of the mantle together make up a zone of rigid, brittle rock called the Lithosphere .

The Earth's crust really isn't rigid. The lithosphere is the rigid part of the Earth. The crust and the upper part of the mantle makes up the lithosphere(brittle rock)

You examine an epithelial cell (skin cell) and notice the chromosomes are visible however it appears there are two nuclei in the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The best explanation if we observe an epithelial cell with chromosomes are visible and two cell nuclei is that the cell has just gone through telophase but not cytokinesis (option b).

Explanation:

A somatic cell, when found in mitosis, exhibits the chromosomes distributed in both poles and the outline of two nuclei in the telophase phase, just before cytokinesis.

In mitotic telophase:

  • Chromatids, which are chromosomes, are found in the cell poles.
  • It initiates the formation of the nucleus membrane.
  • The chromosomes begin to turn into chromatin.
  • Disappearance of the mitotic spindle, duplication of organelles and cytoplasmic invagination.

The division and differentiation of the nuclei in telophase is called karyokinesis. Later, cytokinesis occurs, where the daughter cells are separated.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     a and d. In the other phases described, </em><em><u>S and G1,</u></em><em> no chromosome distribution is observed at the poles.</em>

<em>     c. A somatic cell does not experience </em><em><u>meiosis</u></em><em>.</em>

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

These facts are true and disturbing

Explanation:

Genetics is a discipline that has advanced incredibly in the last years. For example, by using the versatile CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system, we are now able to insert literally any sequence into a given genome in vivo. The CRISPR-Cas9 is a technology that can be used in a regular molecular biology laboratory. It is expected this technique will enable in the near future to correct genetic disorders that have plagued mankind since times immemorial. However, genomic technologies like that could be used by malignant persons to hurt innocent people, thereby it is imperative that countries regulate their use.

If brine shrimp eggs were transported on shorebirds feet from a hyper saline lake into a less salty one
blagie [28]
<span> If the Brine Shrimp eggs were transported from a hyper saline lake from a less salty like, they would most likely go into their dormant state and become cyst-like since they are adapted to the salinity levels of their previous environment. In turn, they would not be able to hatch, and then later on, reproduce, in order to expand their population and continue their species. </span>
