Answer:

Wassup! XD

Explanation:

As the plates move past each other, they sometimes get caught and pressure builds up. When the plates finally give and slip due to the increased pressure, energy is released as seismic waves, causing the ground to shake. This is an earthquake. Some of the plates have ocean water above them.

hope this helps chief!

An earthquake is the sudden movement of earths crust. Earthquakes occur along fault lines, cracks in earths crust where tectonic plates meet. They occur where plates are subducting, spreading, slipping or colliding. As the plates grind together they get stuck and pressure then builds up.

When comparing genomes from different species, scientists are often interested in the genome density, or the number of genes per
Setler79 [48]

The human genome density ranges between 12-15 genes per Megabase pairs. This is because humans have approximately 2000 genes in a total of approximately 3 billion base pairs. However, some primitive organisms have an even larger gene density than humans. An example is bacteria with gene densities ranging between 100 – 500 genes/Mb. Gene density is therefore not a good characteristic in determining the complexity of an organism.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Usually the Y chromosome. It is recessive because if one Y chromosone is mutated with red-green colorblindness and the X is not, the child will have colorblindness. But, if one X chromosome has the mutation and the other X does not, they will cancel out, meaning the child will not have colorblindness.
