Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle.


Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.

Which is true of DNA viruses?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

They use host cell machinery to produce new copies of their genome.

Explanation:

DNA viruses, which are similar to cells, directly employ cellular machinery to perform their process of replication, transcription of their genes, and DNA repair, that is, they use a host cell to make new copies of their genome. Because of this, some viruses have a large genome, such as herpesviruses, which make their own genes and become somewhat more independent of cell metabolism.  DNA molecules are found in two forms: linear and circular. Viruses of the polyomaviridae family have small genomes and circular DNA, while herpesviruses have linear dsDNA genomes. Viruses that have single strand genomes do not allow DNA repair.
