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).

1. Which blood types are dominant?

marishachu [46]

Answer: 1). A and B are both dominant (because A and B are codominant to one another)

2). E. All of the above

Explanation:

1). From the image above, A and B are both dominant because they are equally expressed when they occur in a pair (when they occur as blood type AB), also they are dominant because each of them expressed itself when it occurs in a pair with a recessive allele (IAi and IBi).

2). The children of a father with A blood and a mother with B blood will have all the four blood types: A, B, AB, and O. If each parent has a recessive allele, that is if each parent is heterozygous for his/her blood type (IAi for the father and IBi for the mother), the cross between them will produce all the four possible blood types.

See the attached punnet square for more information.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities
