Earthquakes on plate boundaries happen more because the plates all move in different directions in a tectonic environment so they collide against each other which makes them more frequent. Earthquakes rarely happen in intra-plate environments but along faults in normally stable interior of the plates. If this doesn't make sense, ask me to reword it for you !
Genes is found in the DNA. It decides a specific characteristic. Genes can transform and take two or more option structures and these structures are called Alleles. Presently allele happens in an altered spot in a chromosome and in people we have two arrangements of chromosomes.
There are 46 chromosomes in the human. 23 from the dad, 23 from the mother = 46 chromosomes.
C. a green parrot has an allele for green feathers and an allele for blue feathers.
