Answer:

D) a genetic bottleneck

Explanation:

Genetic bottleneck refers to the sudden reduction in the population size due to some adverse climatic factors such as natural calamities. It changes the allele frequencies since the survivor population mostly have different allele frequencies than the original population.

In the given example, an earthquake kills 98% of the squirrels. The survivor population exhibits different allele frequencies for the gene responsible for the thickness of stripes. Therefore, it represents a genetic bottleneck.

Use the diagram to answer each question. How do volcanoes form at A?  
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Volcanoes are formed at the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.  

<u>During a divergent plate motion, along the mid-oceanic ridge, seafloor spreading takes place. Here it is represented by location B. Due to this, the magma becomes extremely hot and exerts an upward pressure towards the seafloor</u><u>. </u><u>As a result of which the ocean floor slowly rises up forming sea volcanoes.</u> The eruption takes place and the lava forms and deposits on the seafloor, near and along the mid-oceanic ridge. As this region undergoes continuous spreading, so the crust comprised of these rocks slowly moves away from the ridge.

What is the term for the layers of bony matrix surrounding the cell at a?
abruzzese [7]
It is probably the l<span>amellae.
The lamellae are sheets of bony matrix. This bony matrix is produced by o</span>steoblasts, which are cells that synthesise collagen<span> and specialised proteins like </span>osteocalcin<span> and </span>osteopontin. These are then the most important constituents of the bony matrix.

When methane (CH4) combines with oxygen (O2), carbon
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

C. CH4 + 202 – CO2 + 2H20

Explanation:

CH4+O2-CO2+H20

The above equation represents combustion of methane to produce carbon-dioxide and water.

One carbon atom is present on the reactant side as well as on the product side. Four hydrogen atoms are present on the reactant side  and two hydrogen atoms on product side. In order to balance this equation, we would multiply water molecule by two. Now there are four atoms of oxygen in the product side but only two on reactant side, so we will multiply oxygen molecule by two on the reactant side. Now the equation is balanced.

The balanced chemical equation is:

CH4+202-CO2+2H2O

This equation obeys the law of conservation of mass as the mass of the reactants is same as that of the products.
