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!

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Epigenetic phenomena

Explanation:

Epigenetics involves the changes in gene expression which is not as a result of changes in an individual's DNA sequence. In other words, it is a change in an individual's phenotype, without an alteration in the genotype.

It is involved in the normal functioning of cellular processes.

Examples of epigenetics is DNA methylation ( adding of a methyl group to a section of the DNA molecule) and histone modification such as histone acetylation (adding an acetyl group to the histone).

Epigenetic changes can switch off genes, hence, prevent the expression of those genes; it can also turn on genes, hence increase the expression of those genes.

Epigenetic changes can also results to diseases such as cancer.

Adding DNP to mitochondria alters the electron transport chain in what way? (A) ATP continues to be produced but oxygen is no lo
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct option will be option C.

Explanation:

2,4-Dinitrophenol or DNP is a protonophore molecule which can leak the protons and leads to affect the production of ATP in the mitochondria.

DNP is the best agent known for uncoupling the oxidative phosphorylation as it uncouples the phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from ATP synthase.   It leads to the low production of the ATP during oxidative phosphorylation and most of the energy is converted to heat.  It does not effect the electron transport chain, it continues.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
