At which point does the motion of convention currents occur to drive plate movement

Biology
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer</u>: 2

The convection currents shown in points 1 and 3 transfer heat from the outer core (number 4) to the lithosphere. Here, the lower density hot magma breaks apart the plates at <em>point 2</em> creating a divergent plate boundary. <u>This new magma mass will drive a lateral movement of the plates</u>. The edges of the plates which have a higher density basalt rock will sink into the mantle and get consumed in trenches/subduction zones

Inhibin secreted by granulosa cells selectively inhibits secretion of FSH by the pituitary
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-true.

Explanation:

Follicular stimulatory hormone or FSH and inhibin are the complex proteins which play a various biological role in the reproductive system.

The FSH stimulates the secretion of inhibin from the gonads in both males (Sertoli cells) and females (granulosa layer). The production of inhibin suppresses the secretion of FSH from the pituitary gland.

The suppression of FSH directly suppresses the secretion of further inhibin and thus, option-true is the correct answer.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original populations.

Explanation:

The new species can be formed in one of the three ways that are allopatric, peripatric, and parapatric speciation.

The allopatric speciation gives rise to new species due to the geographical barriers present between them and the peripatric speciation occurs when a small population enters into a new habitat.

In the given question, species A is more closely related to species B as to species C. This could be due to the allopatric speciation or peripatric speciation but it would depend on the number of the individuals of the population that dispersed to a different elevation which provided a new niche.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
