What is the cause of the plate tectonic activity?

Biology

matrenka [14]3 years ago

Plate tectonic activity is caused by thermal convection, where heat from the Earth's interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the plates of the crust along with them.

Plate tectonics is primarily caused by Earth's cooling mechanism, which generates convection currents in the planet's mantle that trigger slow but constant tectonic plate movement

Some genes are important enough to be called "molecular switch" or "master" genes. What is the purpose of these genes?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Genes called "molecular switch" or master genes have the purpose of control when other genes are expressed (option A).

Explanation:

Master gene is so named because it has the function of controlling the behavior of other genes, organizing their functions and regulating when they can be expressed.

The name of molecular switch is synonymous with the master gene, since its activation determines the genetic regulation necessary to establish cell differentiation and even the determination of the sex of some species.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     B. Master genes do not </em><u><em>determine the organization of the genome</em></u><em> .</em>

<em>     C. </em><u><em>Regulation of cell metabolism</em></u><em> depends of substances as hormones and enzymes. </em>

<em>     D. </em><u><em>The rate of translation</em></u><em> does not depend on the activity of master genes.</em>

How many genotypes are possible for the offspring
mrs_skeptik [129]
Usually when you are trying to figure out different possibilities of offspring using punnet squares, 4 genotypes can be figured out. I think that it also depends on how you are finding out the different genotypes for offspring.
