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.

Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from
zmey [24]

Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

Gene recombination refers to the mixture of genes from different individuals that occurs during sexual reproduction. Gene recombination is responsible for mixing between genes, which results in genetic variation in a bacterial population.

Genetic variability in a bacterial population occurs through three types of mechanisms: transformation, conjugation and transduction. However this genetic variation does not occur through Meiosis.

Transformation is the incorporation of free DNA by the bacterial cell. Conjugation is the process of transferring DNA from one bacterium to another, involving contact between the two cells. Transduction is the transfer of genetic material between cells, mediated by bacteriophages.

16. What explanation can be used to describe the test tube shown?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Water is polar and oil is nonpolar so the substances won't mix.

Explanation:

Water is polar covalently bonded within the molecule. This unequal sharing of the electrons results in a slightly positive and a slightly negative side of the molecule. oils are nonpolar, so they will remain separate from molecules of a polar solvent such as water.
