Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics is what brings together continental drift and seafloor spreading. Plates are made of lithosphere topped with oceanic and/or continental crust. The plates are moved around on Earth's surface by seafloor spreading. Convection in the mantle drives seafloor spreading. Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. The crust moves outward from the ridge over time. The crust may eventually sink into the mantle and be destroyed. If a continent sits on a plate with a mid-ocean ridge, the continent will be pushed along.

The theory of tectonic plates explains that large convectional currents occuring in the mantle(as a result of magma) are the reasons plates,and so continents,are moved. Note movement occurs in the boundary in between the plates.

Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "For recombinant DNA technology or for the creation of synthetic life, only the gene that produces a particular desired product is needed, and not the entire organism that carried the gene".

Explanation:

Genetic biodiversity and population genetics are modern concepts related to the total number of discovered genes, which in the video Craig Venter explains that are around 20 million. The number of discovered genes are very important for scientific development because for recombinant DNA technology or for the creation of synthetic life, only the gene that produces a particular desired product is needed, and not the entire organism that carried the gene. Therefore, each new gene that is discovered or available, has the potential to be used in recombinant DNA technology developments.
