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.

Somatic cells of roundworms have four individual chromosomes per cell. How many chromosomes would you expect to find in an ovum
andrezito [222]

Answer:

2 chromosomes

Explanation:

The cell of an eukaryotic organism like roundworm contains the Nucleus, which harbors the genetic material embedded in the chromosome. The number of chromosomes of that organism is contained in each cell.

Somatic cells, also called body cells, are all other cells asides sperm and eggs, that form the tissues and organs of an organism. Somatic cells are usually diploid i.e two sets of chromosomes from each parent. In this question, the roundworm has 4 chromosomes in its somatic cell.

The reproductive cells or sex cells (sperm and eggs) of an organism always result from meiotic division of specialized cells.

Since meiosis is a kind of division that results in cells with their chromosome number reduced by half (haploid), it therefore means that the ovum and sperm cell will be expected to contain 2 chromosomes each.

This way, when fertilization occurs (sperm and egg fusion), the resulting zygote, which will eventually develop into an adult organism, will have 4 chromosomes.
