1 answer:

5 0

Divergent plate- The motion of the boundary is outward making new crust beneath the earth Convergent - going inward the denser crust goes under the less dense crust which pulling the crust inside the earth melting it down Transform- is just slide by each other nothing is going into the earth or spreading out making new crust is just slide the plate boundaries

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The genotype of a black male is XtY

Explanation:

Available data:

coat color is an X-linked trait with incomplete dominance.
Yellow coat is caused by the allele XT
Black coat by the allele Xt.
Tortoise coat is caused by the heterozygous condition

So,

females genotypes females phenotype

XTXT → Yellow coat
XtXt → Black coat
XTXt → Tortoise coat

males genotype males phenotype

XTY → Yellow coat
XtY → Black coat

Males only carry one X chromosome, so they can only be either black - XtY- or yellow -XTY-.

Females are the only ones that can express the tortoise coat.

Study the equation for heat transfer. What happens when the value for Tfinal is higher than the value for Tinitial? Is heating o

Dafna1 [17]

Heat transfer means heat energy is transferred from on object or a body to another. This causes change in many factors, and temperature is one of such factors. If the temperature increases, it means heating is taking place and if temperature decreases it means cooling is taking place.

If Tfinal is more than Tinitial, it means the object has gained some amount of heat energy. Therefore, heating is taking place.

If Tfinal is less that Tinitial, it means the object has lost some heat energy and cooling is taking place.
