Explanation:
New ocean crust is formed at the mid ocean ridges. The new crust is then pushed away from the ridge as newer crust comes to the surface. The ocean crust then spreads out enlarging the ocean. The farer away from the ridge the ocean crust is the older the crust
Answer:
D) it helps scientists create theories which are universal.
Answer:
Down (plumaceous), (insulation)
Tail (pennaceous), (flight)
Contour (plumaceous/pennaceous), (flight/insulation)
Bristle (pennaceous), (flight)
Filoplume (pennaceous), (flight)

Answer:
knirps (a gap gene)
wingless (a segment-polarity gene)
kruppel (a gap gene)
even-skipped ( a pair-rule gene)
hunchback (a gap gene)
hedgehog (a segment-polarity gene)
Explanation:
The gap, segment-polarity and pair-rule genes play central roles in controlling embryonic development of arthropods. In the first place, the gap genes are associated with the formation of contiguous body segments, thereby mutations in these genes result in gaps in the normal body plan of the embryo. For example, in <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>, mutations in the <em>knirps, Krüppel </em>and<em> hunchback</em> genes result in deletion of body segments. These genes are also known to regulate segment polarity genes, which determine the polarity of the embryonic parasegments by modulating Wnt and Hedgehog signaling pathways. Finally, the pair-rule genes work together with gap genes to control embryonic development of alternating body segments.
