Select all the correct answers. Read the paragraphs and answer the question that follows. Over the past 500 years, four large ea

rthquakes have occurred near the same location along a continental-continental transform fault in North America. After scientists observed a nearby stream that crossed the fault, they concluded that the earthquakes had offset the stream by 60 yards from its original course. Thus, on average, each earthquake caused the crust along the fault to slip about 12 yards. The earthquakes caused a lot of damage, as well as dramatic changes to the local ecosystem. Another area in the fault also experienced a shift in location of 60 yards over 2,000 years. But it did so without suffering a violent earthquake. In this area, the crust along the fault slipped about an inch every year. The slip caused several rock formations and structures to develop cracks. However there was no large-scale disaster or disruption. Which two conclusions can be drawn based on this information?

If your choices are the following sentences, the answers are the phrases in bold:

A) Earthquakes do not strike the same region more than once in any given century.

B) Geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly. 

C) Earthquakes happen only on continental transform boundaries.

D) Transform boundaries experience fewer earthquakes than other boundaries. 

E) The movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disasters.

The answer are choices B and D.

The part that mentions, "<span> The earthquakes caused a lot of damage, as well as dramatic changes to the local ecosystem," supports choice B. 

"</span>The slip caused several rock formations and structures to develop cracks. However there was no large-scale disaster or disruption." supports choice D.

Which practice provides the Best means of protecting biodiversity inthe wild for future generations?? a Initiating recycling pro
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Practice that  provides the best means of protecting biodiversity in the wild for future generations is - <u>expanding breeding programs for endangered species .</u>

Explanation: The best way of preserving biodiversity for future generations in the wild -

  • <u>Expanding breeding programs for endangered species . -:</u> Breeding programmes, such as the panda, help conserve endangered species. Replanting hedgerows because there is greater biodiversity in them than the fields they surround, minimizing deforestation and the release of greenhouse gases, protecting and creating new endangered ecosystems, often by making National Parks.

The other statements are not so suitable means of protecting biodiversity in the wild for future generation as  the first statement indicates about the initiation of recycling programmes in neighborhood , which has no role in preservation of biodiversity or wildlife because the statement is about keeping the environment clean and healthy .

The other statement is about reduction of air pollution as buying vehicles with reduced carbon emissions improves the quality of air.

And the other statement of  Protecting wildlife areas such as national parks comes under the other statement which states "expanding breeding programs for endangered species".

Hence , the correct option is D.

The foundation for biological evolution or descent through modification is A) changes in gene frequency in a population occur fr
torisob [31]

Answer:

The foundation for biological evolution or descent through modification is all living things are made of one or more cells

Explanation:

In biology, every living organisms possess one or two cells because that is the basic unit of life. some organisms are unicellular (single-cell organism) and multi-cellular organisms such as man. The fundamental of every living organism is based on cell which later forms tissue then organ before it eventually forms a system that function together as an entity.

If the dna content of a diploid cell in the g1 phase of the cell cycle is represented by x, then the dna content of the same cel
s2008m [1.1K]
Mitosis and meiosis are both cell division process except that the former is only done by somatic cells and the latter is done by gametes. In G1 phase or the growth phase of interphase, there is increase in cellular substance without DNA replication therefore DNA will be regarded as x. By the time when S or synthesis phase of interphase is finished, DNA replication is done therefore all phases that follow the S phase will have a DNA of 2x. In this case, the cell in metaphase of meiosis I has double the amount of DNA than the one in G1 phase because this cell already underwent the S phase. In meiosis, after the first division (meiosis I), there is reduction of genetic material into half (hence called reduction division) producing haploid cells. So a cell in the metaphase of meiosis II will have DNA half of that in metaphase of meiosis I thereby regarded as x.

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the human body,
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

If your body lacks enzymes that break down carbohydrates, it would be unable to get glucose molecules.

If you lacked the enzyme to digest proteins, you may not absorb enough amino acids.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates and proteins are the food materials that are used for the production of energy. Our body cannot absorb carbohydrate so it must be broken down into simpler substance such as glucose molecules by amylase, while proteins are broken down into simpler substances such as amino acids by pepsin enzyme.
