Answer:

A)Ocean floor evidence of sea floor spreading.

Explanation:

evidence pointing to the steps or process  of seafloor spreading and effective plate motion This theory was accepted by many scientist because  it depended  on hard evidence and could describe most of the modern geological structures such as ocean basins,

What is the tectonic theory?

The theory of plate tectonics plates  says  that Earth's surface is made of rigid slabs of rock, or plates, that move to each other.

What is a tectonic plate?

They are huge slabs of rock that cover the earths mantle When a earthquake occurs that's because the tectonic plate is breaking  that makes the ground shake  During the earthquake and afterward, the plates keep on shaking until they are stuck again!

In a recessive disorder, a person will only have the disorder if they have one copy of the allele

False

Explanation:

Since it's a recessive disorder that means the presence of the dominant allele will overshadow the recessive if it's present. Two recessive alleles have to be present in order for the person to have the disorder.

Graph y = -2x +3 and its inverse.
Gnesinka [82]
The graph of y = -2x + 3 is a straight line

Its slope is - 2

Its y-intercept is + 3

To draw the line you can use these two points (0,3) and (3/2 , 0)

This line does ont pass through the third quadrant. It comes downward from the second quadrant, touches the y-axis at y =3, continues on the rirst quadrant, touches the x-axis at x = 3/2, and contiues into the fourth quadrant.


Graph of its inverse

Exchange y and x in the given function and solve for the new y

x = - 2y + 3 => y = - x/2 + 3/2

It is also a straight line;
Its slope is -1/2
Its y-intercept is 3/2

It is also in the second, first and fourth quadrant

Use these two points to draw the line (0,3/2) and (3,0).

You do not need to know to draw this, but the inverse of a function is its reflection through the line y =x.

Why does the population size of a species rise and fall around the carrying capacity, rather than immediately stop growing and f
Alisiya [41]
Answer:


Competition for resources like food and space cause the growth rate to stop increasing, so the population levels off. ... The carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that can be supported in a particular area without destroying the habitat. Limiting factors determine the carrying capacity of a population.
