Answer:

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises in and out the other plate and solidifies into granitewhich is the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

How does the cardiovascular system deliver nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body via the flow of blood? Select all corre

Alex

Answer:

1: (The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart.)

2: (In the systemic circulation, the left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta.)

4: (Blood, which is low in oxygen, is collected in veins and travels to the right atrium and into the right ventricle.)

Explanation:

The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body. It consists of the heart and the blood vessels running through the entire body. ... In the systemic circulation, the left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the main artery (aorta).

The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart. ... The blood travels from the main artery to larger and smaller arteries and into the capillary network. There the blood drops off oxygen, nutrients and other important substances and picks up carbon dioxide and waste products.

The inferior and superior vena cava bring oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. The pulmonary artery channels oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.

How do transposable elements and short tandem repeats (STRs) differ? a. STRs occur within exons; transposable elements occur wit

Allisa [31]

Transposable elements and short tandem repeats are different because short tandem repeats make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a genome. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What are transposable elements? </h3>

Transposable elements or transposons are a class of genetic elements. They can “jump” from one location to another, in a genome.

Even though they are called “jumping genes,” they have an integrated site in a genome and are maintained there. Also, most of them are eventually inactivated and can not move any longer.

Whereas Short tandem repeats or STRs are short repeats of DNA. They are also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats. They have a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp and form a series of 100 nucleotide lengths.

Therefore the correct option C.
