The following passage explains the relationship between tectonic plates and earthquakes. Which sentence states incorrect informa

tion?
Tectonic plates can push together, pull apart, or slide past each other at their boundaries. The edges of tectonic plates are not smooth, so they create friction as they move. When friction is too great for the plates to move, they can become stuck and pressure can build up. An earthquake occurs when pressure that has built up between plates suddenly is released. The buildup of pressure that leads to earthquakes only occurs at plate boundaries.​

Which organisms are not examples of an adaptive radiation?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Option B, Mammals and reptiles in the post-dinosaur age.

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is mechanism through which species evolve very fast from common single ancestors. In simple words two different species are said to have evolved through adaptive radiation when they have descended from a single lineage. This is not the case with mammals and reptiles.  

Generally in adaptive radiation, a species evolve when it faces new environmental challenges due to change of habitat or area. For example mammals have evolved from dinosaurs.  

Hence, option B is correct

Doss [256]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

There are four phases which occur during karyokinesis, these are -

  • Prophase
  • Metaphase
  • Anaphase
  • Telophase

Telophase is the last phase of karyokinesis. The main events that occur during telophase are-

  • Uncoiling of chromosome occurs
  • Chromatin is formed
  • Spindle breaks down
  • Nuclear membrane or nuclear envelope if reformed

Thus it is clear that the events that are mentioned in the question denote truly about the Telophase.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Favorable adaptation, which is one condition required for natural selection

Explanation:

A population have both beneficial and harmful variations present in its members. The beneficial variations impart survival advantage and makes the individuals better adapted to the surrounding. Several butterflies in the given population have dotted wings. Since presence of dotted wings keeps the predators away, it is a favorable variation that would be favored by natural selection leading to its increase in the population in subsequent generations.
