Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The Continental drift can be defined as the theory that states that the sub continents that are seen today were once a large content.

The continents separated into small parts over a period of time and are known as sub continents today.

The Giant super continent Pangaea began to drift apart and formed into small continents that are known today.

This theory was given by Alfred Wegener and is known as Wegener's theory of continental drift.

If color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait, what genotype in a father and a mother would be predicted to produce a 1:1 ra
Likurg_2 [28]
The genotype would be X'Y for the father (he would be colorblind)
The genotype would be X'X for the mother (she would be a carrier)
The offspring would be X'X' _ X'X_ X'Y_ XY
The ratio would be 1:1 normal to colorblind

Geography the process in which nutrients are dissolved in water and percolate downward below the root zone of crops is called:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Nutrient Leaching

Leaching is the process where dissolved nutrients in the soil profile moves downward with percolating water. It is the loss of water-soluble plant nutrients from the soil. The nutrients that seep through the rooting zone may be recycled if roots grow deeper.

miRNAs can control gene expression by what action?A. degrading proteins as soon as they are formedB. inhibiting the catalytic ac
levacccp [35]

Answer:

C) binding to mRNAs and degrading them or blocking their translation

Explanation:

<u>miRNAs:</u>

miRNAs is the abbreviation of MicroRNAs. These are the small noncoding RNAs of ∼22 nucleotides which can not code for peptides. miRNAs are responsible for gene expression regulation at the level of post transcription. They can do so by forming complementary base pairing with target mRNA and inhibiting their translation.

They silenced mRNA by the following processes:

(1) Cleavage of the mRNA strand into pieces,

(2) stopping mRNA from translation into proteins by ribosomes.

(3) Shortening of mRNA poly(A) tail and destabilizing it.

What pathologic change occurs to the kidneys glomeruli as a result of hypertension?
shusha [124]
<span>Interstitial fibrosis and glomeruli tubular atrophy are pathological effects of hypertension on kidneys. This is especially as a result of hyalinization that results in sclerosis to the glomeruli which may ultimately lead to kidney failure if unmanaged. The hyaline accumulate in the nephron tubules resulting in protein in urine. The plaque build up in the kidneys, as a result, causes glomerular ischemia   </span>

Six fingered offspring are formed from normal parents, why?
Kruka [31]
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.

Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.

In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.

A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.
