Answer:

When plates collide or undergo subduction (that is – ride one over another), the plates tend to buckle and fold, forming mountains. Most of the major continental mountain ranges are associated with thrusting and folding or orogenesis. Examples are the Jura and the Zagros mountains.

What type of energy is transferred during heating? a. thermal b. convective c. conductive d. temperate

Katena32 [7]

Thermal energy is transferred during heating.

What is thermal energy?

Thermal energy refers to the ability to do work. As such thermal energy can also be defined as the ability of something to do work as a result of the movement of its particles.
In other words, thermal energy is the energy possessed by an object or body by virtue of the movement of its constituent particles.
It is the total internal kinetic energy of an object due to the random motion of its atoms and molecules.
Thermal energy is a type of kinetic energy owing to the fact that it results from the movement of particles. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
Thermal energy forms the foundation of the study of heat energy and thermodynamics. It is one of the oldest forms of energy utilized by mankind.
Its usage existed even before petroleum and nuclear power sources were discovered.

How do scientist predict the patterns of heredity?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The classic tool to predict the patterns of heredity is using a Punnett Square.

Explanation:

In genetics, a trait can be considered dominant or recessive. Since the important discoveries of Gregor Mendel, scientists use a capital letter (D) to indicate a trait is dominant, and a lowcase letter (d) to show a trait is recessive.

Assuming that a scientist knows the genotype for the desired trait they want to predict on the offpsring, a Punnett Square is a reliable tool and a graphic representation that permits them to visualize the potential features of the offspring by showing how the alleles may be exhibited and passed on the offspring and will determine the possible combination of genotypes.

How does it work?

For example, as we can observe in the image below, both parents are homozygous for a trait PP=Purple; pp=white. P is dominant and p is recessive (the color purple will be dominant, and the white will be recessive). So, we put one parent's genotype in the top row (PP) and the other parent's genotype in the left column (pp) and combine one of each letters on the squares, i.e. one of each parent's alleles. Then, we can observe in the results that 3 of the offspring will exhibit the purple color (PP, Pp, Pp) and only one will exhibit the white recessive color (pp); or more properly known as a genotypic ratio of 3:1.
