Draining the oceans would show features such as mid-ocean ridges. These features would look like an extensive mountain range running down the spine of the ocean floor. This region marks the area where two oceanic tectonic plates are being pushed apart. Closer to land or the continents would be a gentle shelf that gradually deepens as one moves away from the coastline. This relatively gentle plain would then make a steep drop off down to an extensive plain stretching towards ocean ridges. The ocean floor also supports lone mountain structures, canyons and chasms.
I think this is because the molecules in the rock are so small. The rock is also a solid.
Answer:
d. nitrogen-containing base
.
Explanation:
A nucleotide comprises a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base (nitrogen-containing base).
A nitrogenous base is a type of aromatic heterocyclic organic compound which essentially has nitrogen in it. The base can be a purine or pyrimidine. Purine nitrogenous bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G) while pyrimidine nitrogenous bases are cytosine (C), thiamine (T) and uracil (U).
Till the time a base is not attached to covalently linked phosphate group and a pentose sugar, it is known as nucleoside. But as soon as we attach any nitrogenous base to the nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed. So it means a nucleotide is nucleoside + nitrogenous base.
Examples are as under:
A nucleotide which has adenine as nitrogenous base is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while a nucleotide which has guanine as nitrogenous base is known as Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP).
Natural selection is the idea that organisms that posses favorable traits that enable them to survive in their environment are the ones that live long enough to pass on these traits to their offspring.
<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>
The question is incomplete but I will try my best to explain the idea of natural selection.
The term natural selection refers to the idea put forward by Charles Darwin that organisms that posses favorable traits that enable them to survive in their environment are the ones that live long enough to pass on these traits to their offspring. This is also called the survival of the fittest.

Answer:
Biotic factors such as the presence of autotrophs or self-nourishing organisms such as plants, and the diversity of consumers also affect an entire ecosystem. Abiotic factors affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce. Abiotic limiting factors restrict the growth of populations.
