A change in the temperature of the core would affect all of the following except:
Pani-rosa [81]
Answer is D: the current make up of the crust

Changes in the temperature of the Earth's core will do the following:
1. Cause the outer core to solidify 
-this means that the liquid outer core which is responsible for generating the magnetic field protecting us humans from solar radiation will be gone

2. Cause the mantle to solidify
-this means that if the mantle solidifies, the plate tectonics will stop moving around, and if this happens, the earthquakes and volcanoes will not be produced anymore and also mountain ranges will not be renewed, and the earth will be flattened by erosion.

List and describe the four types of bone structures.
goldenfox [79]
Long bones have a tubular shaft and articular surface at each end. The major bones of the arms and the legs are all long bones.
Short bones also have a tubular shaft and articular surfaces at each end but are much smaller. The short bones include all of the metacarpals and phalanges in the hands, the metatarsals and phalanges in the feet, and the clavicle.
Flat bones are thin and have broad surfaces. The flat bones include the scapula, the ribs, and the sternum.
<span>Irregular bones are irregular in size and shape and are usually quite compact. They include the bones in the vertebral column, the carpal bones in the hands, tarsal bones in the feet, and the patella.</span>

What is the name of the membrane surrounding the brain? What is the<br> function of this membrane?
wlad13 [49]

Answer and explanation:

The meninges

There are actually 3 parts—dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.

The brain is soft and mushy, and without structural support it would not be able to maintain its normal shape. In fact, a brain taken out of the head and not properly suspended (e.g., in saline solution) can tear simply due to the effects of gravity. While the bone of the skull and spine provide most of the safeguarding and structural support for the central nervous system (CNS), alone it isn't quite enough to fully protect the CNS. The meninges help to anchor the CNS in place to keep, for example, the brain from moving around within the skull. They also contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as a cushion for the brain and provides a solution in which the brain is suspended, allowing it to preserve its shape.

The outermost layer of the meninges is the dura mater, which literally means "hard mother." The dura is thick and tough; one side of it attaches to the skull and the other adheres to the next meningeal layer, the arachnoid mater. The dura provides the brain and spinal cord with an extra protective layer, helps to keep the CNS from being jostled around by fastening it to the skull or vertebral column, and supplies a complex system of veinous drainage through which blood can leave the brain.

The arachnoid gets its name because it has the consistency and appearance of a spider web. It is much less substantial than the dura, and stretches like a cobweb between the dura and pia mater. By connecting the pia to the dura, the arachnoid helps to keep the brain in place in the skull. Between the arachnoid and the pia there is also an area known as the subarachnoid space, which is filled with CSF. The arachnoid serves as an additional barrier to isolate the CNS from the rest of the body, acting in a manner similar to the blood-brain barrier by keeping fluids, toxins, etc. out of the brain.

Below is a segment of a strand of normal DNA:
Ede4ka [16]
This would be an example of:
C) an insertion mutation.

Notice how the sequence contains the same letters as before, only an A is added to the beginning. Adding extra nucleotides is an example of an insertion mutation, a type of frame-shift also, because the reading frame will be thrown off downstream.
