The correct answer is - 1,180 km.

North America and Europe move away from one another, though the two plates, the North American and Eurasian are merging together on the other side. Since the rate of moving away is 2 cm per year, and the current distance is 1,184 km between North America and Europe, the distance between them 200,000 years ago was 1,180 km.

To get to the result we only need to multiply the number of years with the annual movement

2 x 200,000 = 400,000

Than divide the result with 100,000, as that is how much cm are in one km

400,000 / 100,000 = 4

And we get 4 km, in this case 4 km less, thus the distance between the two, 200,000 years ago, was 1,180 km.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: I think this should be the completed question.

picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood. disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream. houses white blood cells (lymphocytes) involved in immunity. the immune response mounts the attach against foreign substances within the body.

The correct answer is LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

Explanation:

It is lymphatic system because Lymphatic system is a system that consists of vessels, cells, lymphoid organs which include bone marrow and thymus which form lymphocytes, cells that helps in body immunity or defence against pathogens and they carries excess fluid from the blood stream, filtering and cleansing the body front pathogens,and eliminating nitrogenous wastes and also the regulate acid base electrolytes in the body.

How would a change to the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA segment affect the mRNA transcribed from the DNA?​
Mama L [17]

Answer:

It would change the nucleotide sequence of the transcribed mRNA

Explanation:

During the process of transcription, a DNA template is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. The nucleotides in the DNA molecule undergo a complementary base pairing to form the nucleotides on the mRNA. This means that the order of sequence on the DNA determines the order of sequence on the mRNA.

In a case where the nucleotide sequence of a DNA segment changes in the process of MUTATION, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA strand will also change. For example, if sequence: ATT on the DNA produces UAA on the mRNA, a change to AAT on the DNA will cause the mRNA sequence to change to UUA.

the molecules shown in this image are able to cross membrane through facilitated diffusion. how will they be transported?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:, facilitated diffusion differs from passive diffusion in that the transported molecules do not dissolve in the phospholipid bilayer. Instead, their passage is mediated by proteins that enable the transported molecules to cross the membrane without directly interacting with its hydrophobic interior.
