Answer:

Explanation:

What is a divergent boundary:

In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary is a linear feature that exists between 2 tectonic plates moving away from each other.

They can produce rifts, which become rift valleys.

Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that magma rises to fill.

Sedimentary rocks form due to deposition, and accumulation

Metamorphic rocks form in a transformation of existing rock to new rock in a process called metamorphism.

Igneous rocks form through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

When the filled gaps of magma cool off, it will produce igneous rocks.

Explain the genotypes and phenotypes of skin color. summarize the relationship between the number of active genes and color of t

Kruka [31]

Human skin color is a polygenic trait, which means that multiple gene loci (with different alleles) are involved in its expression. It has been shown that there more than 350 genetic loci involved in determining skin color. Because of that, there is the enormous number of possible genotypes for the skin color and as a result, the phenotypes vary from the darkest brown to the lightest hues. Different populations have different allele frequencies of genes for human skin color, and the combination of these allele variations brings about complex and continuous variation in skin coloration. Natural skin color can change due to exposure to sunlight (becomes darker) and that is the way it adapts to intense sunlight irradiation (protection against the UV exposure).

The answer is highway hypnosis. It is also known as white line fever. This happens when the driver while traveling in far places becomes fully focused on the roads and gains automatic responses to the vehicles on road situations which are correct. However, this is being done in an unconscious state.

In a population of 100 four-o'clock flowers there are 40 red-flowered plants (CRCR), 38 pink-flowered plants (CRCW), and 22 whit

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Frequency of CW allele in the population= 0.41

Explanation:

A diploid organism has two alleles for each gene. So, a population of 100 plants will have total 100 x 2 = 200 alleles.

The each of the white colored plants have two copies of CW alleles and each pink flowered plant have only one CW allele.

Frequency of CW allele in the population = total number of white flowered plants x 2 + total number of pink colored plants / total population size x 2.

Frequency of CW allele in the population= 22 x 2 + 38 / 100 x 2 = 82 /200 = 0.41
