After studying plate tectonics, Lee became interested in mid-ocean ridges and how rock develops as the tectonic plates spread ap

art, so he decided to investigate further. Which of the following statements are true about sea-floor spreading? Choose the three statements that apply. A. Young rock forms in layers on the ocean floor as spreading occurs. B. Magma flows through cracks in Earth's crust and hardens. C. Continental crust is formed by the ridges as they grow. D. Mid-ocean ridges are the sources of the spreading. E. Older rock is farther away from the mid-ocean ridges.

Answer:

A, B, E

Explanation:

The magma rising through the cracks makes new younger rocks close to the crack as the magma follows out and hardens. This means that rocks farther away from the crack are older because they where formed when they where right next to the crack. They are father away meaning they got pushed back as time went on.

Mid ocean ridges are a result of the spreading not the cause.

Because they are in the middle of the ocean and they are moving constantly i dought the mid ocean ridges are creating continents.

Match the following plant types with their descriptions. 1. hydrophytes aquatic plants 2. mesophytes plants with very dry habita
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Plant types matched with their descriptions

  1. Hydrophytes - Aquatic plants
  2. Mesophytes  - Plants with habitats that are neither too wet nor too dry  
  3. Xerophytes - Plants with very dry habitats

Hydrophytes are aquatic plants that may be free floating, fully submerged or partly submerged (amphibious) in water. The vascular tissue of hydrophytes is very poorly developed. Examples of hydrophytes are Ottelia, Sagittaria and Utricularia.

Mesophytes are plants that live in habitats that have a moderate supply of water (neither too wet nor too dry. Mesophytes are usually large, fast growing, and have well developed roots and leaves. Examples of mesophytes are clover and maize (corn).

Xerophytes are plants that are able to thrive with very dry habitats where the available soil water is low. Examples of xerophytes are Acacia and Carthamus.

During translation, what sets up the open reading frame in mRNA? What will it correspond to in DNA?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

During the process of translation, the codon UAC sets up the open  reading frame in the mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic acid). The codon UAC corresponds to ATG in the DNA. It codes for the amino acid methionine.

Explanation:

The determination of the open reading frame is important in the process of translation and protein formation. The start and stop codons determine the open reading frame. In DNA (deoxyribonucleic Acid), there are typically six reading frames. The correct frame is determined and the translation is started.

The ATG codon in the DNA sets the reading frame in most of the eukaryotes. Different frames can be started by beginning with either 'A', 'T', or 'G'.
