Answer:

Sea floor spreading-> <u><em>Oceanic ridge and Magma pushing two plates apart</em></u>

Continental drift-> <u><em>Concept of pangaea and Oceanic plates sliding under continental crust</em></u>

Explanation:

Due to the divergent plate movement, the magma come out to the surface, forming the mid oceanic ridge and this separation of plates on the sea floor is known as the sea floor spreading. The magma here pushes the two plates to move apart because of the convection current that generates in the mantle. One example of mid oceanic ridge is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

  Continental drift refers to the slow and gradual movement of the lithospheric plates over the viscous asthenosphere layer. This motion of continents takes place because of the plate tectonic movement. Due to this plate motion, the denser plate gets subducts beneath the less denser plates. For example, the oceanic crust when collides with a continental crust, it gets subducted because of its higher density. The great supercontinent "pangaea" also formed and separated due to this plate motion.

Indicate whether the following outcomes of cell division are observed in mitosis only, meiosis only, or both mitosis and meiosis
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

A. Both in mitosis and meiosis (II)

B. Mitosis

C. In both

D. Meiosis

E. Mitosis

Explanation:

Prior to every case of cell division in both mitosis and meiosis, the cell always ensures to duplicates its contents including its chromosomes. In both cases of cell division, the sister chromatids separates, apart from in meiosis I where homologous chromosomes separates to opposite poles. Only one cellular division occurs in mitosis which is involved in the growth and development of the diploid individual but in meiosis, two divisions takes place in the gametes (both male and female) to ensure that the haploid number of chromosomes is transfered from both parents each to the offspring ensuring a constant diploid offspring. Thus a diploid parent cell always produces a haploid daughter cell in the gametes during meiosis. In mitosis, the daughter cells are always identical to the parents cells.

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds
LekaFEV [45]

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds from late March through May. There are two pre-mating isolation mechanism at play here,

1. Ecological isolation: The habitats are different, hence the individuals of both the species do not meet. Ephemeral ponds are temporary ponds that develop during rainy days, while the permanent ponds are full of water throughout the year.

2. Temporal isolation: The time of mating is different for both the species to avoid contact between the individuals of closely related species. Red-legged frogs mate in January to March slot and the bullfrog in the March to May slot.
