Answer:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere.Plate tectonics move because they are carried along by convection currents in the upper mantle of the planet (the mantle is a slowly flowing layer of rock just below Earth's crust). Hot rock just below the surface rises and when it cools and gets heavy, it sinks again.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

A. The two proteins are very likely related evolutionarily.

B. The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a conservative change (such as L for I).

Explanation:

A. Humans and sperm whales are vertebrates and mammals, this implies that they have a common ancestor a long time ago, which makes them evolutionary related.

B. Conservation indicates that a sequence has been maintained by natural selection. This means that protein structure is not exactly the same but is quite similar.

Options C and D, contradict the above explanation, and they make no sense because sperm whales and humans share a common ancestor (mya).
