Answer:

The idea that Earth’s lithosphere is divided into large, moving sections is called the <u>plate tectonics theory</u>.

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics assumes that the lithosphere is divided into large, limitedly stable segments, formed by rigid rock, called plates. These plates extend throughout the globe. There are seven plates in total, such as the Pacific Plate, the Coconuts Plate, etc. These plates reach depths between 100 and 200 km. Each plate runs horizontally with respect to its neighbor. Approximately seventy percent of the area covered by the plates are the oceans, such as the Pacific, the Atlantic or the Indian Ocean.

Suppose an animal is heterozygous AaBb, and the traits are not linked. When meiosis occurs, what is the total number of possible
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

4 possible combinations of gametes

Explanation:

The animal is considered an heterozygotic dihybrid because it involves two genes that have different alleles for both genes. The dihybrid animal undergoes meiosis to produce gametes. According to Mendel in his laws of segregation and independent assortment, the alleles of the two genes separate into gametes independently of one another to produce 4 types of gametes.

Number of possible combinations of gametes formed by an heterozygote can be determined by using 2^n, where n is the number of characters. Number of characters or genes involved in this case is 2, Hence, 2^2 = 4 gametes.

The allelic combination in the four gametes are: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

Fed [463]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the presence of the nuclear membrane.  

Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that attain their energy via the process of photosynthesis, and are the only photosynthetic prokaryotes possessing the tendency to generate oxygen. As a prokaryote, they are devoid of the nuclear membrane.  

Euglena refers to a single cell flagellate eukaryote. It comes under the class Euglenoidea. The species of Euglena are witnessed in salt water and in freshwater. Being a eukaryote, they possess nuclear membrane.
