Answer:

La Tectónica de Placas es una teoría unificadora que explica una variedad de características y acontecimientos geológicos. Se basa en un sencillo modelo de la Tierra que expone que la rígida litosfera se encuentra fragmentada, formando un mosaico de numerosas piezas de diversos tamaños en movimiento llamadas placas, que encajan entre si y varían en grosor según su composición ya sea corteza oceánica, continental o mixta.

Explanation:

La litosfera descansa sobre la astenósfera que es semiplástica, más caliente y débil, por lo que se cree que algún tipo de sistema de transferencia de calor dentro de la Tierra, procedente del núcleo y del manto, hace que las placas litosféricas se muevan. Entre 1923 y 1926, el científico irlandés John Joly propuso que, a causa de la mala conductividad térmica de la corteza, el calor radiactivo que se genera en la Tierra se acumula debajo de la corteza y funde el manto, lo que provoca una convección térmica (transferencia convectiva de calor). Esta hipótesis fue la base de la teoría de la convección en el manto, cuyo principal exponente Griggs (1939), la aplicó a la deriva continental. Posteriormente, A. Holmes (1944) postuló que la convección también podía llevarse a cabo en el manto sólido.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

B. Use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to make multiple copies of the DNA.

Explanation:

The scientist is to analyze a small sample of DNA, the most useful step to start this would be first the use of polymerase chain reaction to make various copies of that DNA sample. PCR is essential and quick process that gives a lot of copies within few hours. It uses the sample or target DNA, according to which the primers are designed. Taq polymerase and DNA polymerase are also used in the process, it consist of various cycles in which copies are made. There are three basic steps 'Denaturation', 'annealing', and 'extension'.
