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.

The epithelial cells in the skin of an animal have 24 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in the gametes of this anima

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

There will be 12 chromosomes

Explanation:

We have given that The epithelial cells in the skin of an animal have 24 chromosomes

We have to find the number of chromosomes present in the gametes of this animal

We know that number of chromosomes present in the gametes is given by

$\frac{number\ of\ chromosmes\ present\ in\ skin}{2}$

So number of chromosomes in gametes $=\frac{24}{2}=12chromosomes$

What is the 95% CI for data set 2?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: 20 ± 11.32

Explanation: <u>Confidence</u> <u>Interval</u> (CI) is an interval of values where there is a % certainty the true mean value lies in. For example, a 95% CI means there is a 95% certainty the true mean value lies in the interval.

For the data set 2, z-value for 95% confidence interval is z = 1.96

Formula to calculate CI is

x ± $z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$
