Answer:
D. dehydration synthesis
Explanation:
Dehydration means removing water, and synthesis means building or creating something. Therefore, the synthesis of dehydration is defined as removing water to build something. This process occurs by removing a molecule of -OH (hydroxyl group) and a molecule of -H to form H2O or water. This results in the covalent bonding of two monomers (small molecules) to form a polymer (larger molecule).
Dehydration synthesis uses condensation in the process and when this continues for a long period of time, a long and complex chain is formed, such as those of disaccharide or polysaccharides. It is also responsible for storing excess glucose molecules as well as larger polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen.
Explained in greater detail, each gene resides at a specific locus (location on a chromosome) in two copies, one copy of the gene inherited from each parent. The copies, however, are not necessarily the same. When the copies of a gene differ from each other, they are known as alleles.
Phospholipids are typically made up of two fatty acids,a glycerol molecule and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol.The phosphate group is negatively charged, it is hydrophilic and it is describes as the polar HEAD of the phospholipid. The fatty acid chains have no charge [neutral], they are hydophobic and they are describe as the non-polar TAIL of the phospholipid.
High rates of
volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building are the sites of subduction
zones. They occur in convergent boundaries found in tectonic plates of both
oceanic and continental crusts. Subduction zones occur when one tectonic plate
moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the mantle as the plates
converge again.

Regions that are
within subduction zones experience an average rate of convergence of 2-8
centimeters per year. They are subject to many earthquakes because of the
collisions that occur within the tectonic plates. </span>
