The Pacific Plate, which drives much of the tectonic activity in the Ring of Fire, is cooling off. Scientists have discovered th

at the youngest parts (about 2 million years old) are cooling off, contracting faster than the older parts of the plate (about 100 million years old.) The younger parts of the plate are the most active parts of the Ring of Fire.
What idea is the BEST supported by this paragraph?
(a)Movement from the contraction of the cool plates is contributing to tectonic activity in the Ring of Fire.
(b)the youngest parts of the plates will stay very cool completely and stop their tectonic activity.
(c)Most older parts of the Ring of Fire have stopped and will soon cool completely and stop their tectonic activity.
(d)The pacific plate has both the oldest and the youngest active volcanoes in the entire world.

Which is true of genes found on chromosomes?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
The option that is true of genes found on chromosomes is that D. they determine the inherited traits of an organism.
Genes are inherited - so those are the things that we get from our parents and other ancestors. It is easy to determine which of these genes a child is going to inherit - the doctors just need to take a look at the chromosomes, because genes are located there.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Adaptive radiation

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when an ancestral species move to a new environment that has various resources that are necessary for survival and also has environmental conditions that would ensure its offspring adapt well over time. In this new environment, the ancestral species would produce offspring with different traits and behaviors that will allow them to survive in this new environment while occupying their various niches. Over a relatively short time, different species arising from the common ancestor would occupy the new environment.

According to the Punnett square, offspring from these two parents have a ____________ chance of inheriting two b alleles. Indivi
aliina [53]

Explanation:

50%; homozygous recessive; phenotype

According to the Punnett square, offspring from these two parents have a <u>50%</u>chance of inheriting two b alleles. Individuals that inherit two b alleles are <u>homozygous recessive </u>. Inheriting two b alleles confers the <u>phenotype</u> of blue eyes.

Inheritance describes the way in which certain traits are passed onto offspring of sexual reproduction. For instance, co-dominance, both of a gene's alleles are present, and notable in the phenotype.

The nucleus is a large membrane-bound organelle that houses the genetic information, DNA, in the cell. Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles and comprise the genotype. DNA is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins. These proteins, when expressed, are referred to as an organism's phenotype.
