The present-day continent of North America was part of Laurasia 200 million years ago.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The earth's crust is comprised of the lithospheric plate and they are constantly in motion over the viscous layer of asthenosphere due to the generation of convection current in the mantle. It is due to the heat radiated from the interior of the earth.  

These plates were once all together forming a supercontinent named Pangaea. This Pangaea got separated into Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

North America was formed from the separation of the Laurasia about 200 million years back.

This plate motion was proved by some of the evidence put forwarded by Alfred Wegener. The continental drift theory that was modified to Plate tectonic theory was able to explain the mechanism behind this plate motion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

PLEASE HELP ASAP
Stels [109]

The right answer is B.

Nitrogen fixation is done by decomposers that are prokaryotes (bacteria).

<u>Take the example of legumes. </u>

The different species of rhizobia bacteria, which are able to infect the roots of legumes (Fabaceae family), are specific to certain host plants. Rhizobium phaseoli infects beans (Phaseolus sp).

Bacteria cause the formation of nodules on the roots by penetrating the root hairs, and transform into larger "bacteroids". The nodules are the seat of a symbiotic activity in which the plant provides the sugars and energy from photosynthesis, and in return benefits from the amino acids that are produced there.

GMOs may lead to the use of different herbicides or pesticides.<br> True or False?
Dafna11 [192]

GMOs may lead to the use of different herbicides or pesticides is a true statement.

Explanation:

The GMO crops leads to growth of weeds that can resist herbicides other than for which the GMO is genetically-modified. The over-usage or over-reliance on herbicide-resistant GMO (Genetically modified organisms) crops had given way to the growth of such superweeds.

The main characteristic of these superweeds is resistance to the herbicides or the weedkillers leading to infestation of farmlands by these superweeds Hence farmers need to add different herbicides or pesticides to control the growth of superweeds.
