Biology

A. Basically a hotspot forms above a mantle plume. A mantle plume is like a bit of magma from the earths mantle, but it’s like not near tectonic plate boundary things. (Sorry if that doesn’t make sense lol if you’re still confused I’d just look up a diagram of a hotspot)

B. A stratovolcano, those are just volcanos that are built with a bunch of lava and ash

C. Mt. Helens is formed on a subduction plate boundary, while a hotspot is formed because of mantle plumes, which are usually not on a plate boundary.

Hope this helps lol

Blood type is a genetically determined trait. Two siblings donate blood and find out their blood types. The brother is Type A an
rjkz [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The brother has different alleles for the blood type gene than his sister does.  Blood type is inherited from parents like many other traits that can be displayed on a punnet square.  Depending on what the parents blood type alleles were, the brother and sister could have different blood types.  

A different number of chromosomes doesn't lead to different blood types, so D is wrong.  And A is incorrect because the number genes also does not affect blood type.  And I think the blood type genes are on the same chromosome, so B is wrong.  C is correct because blood type is inherited by alleles, and different alleles can cause different traits, such as blood types.

In humans, sperm can survive _____ within the female reproductive tract.view available hint(s)in humans, sperm can survive _____
olga55 [171]
In humans sperms can survive 3 -5 days within the female reproductive tract. 
The ideal time of fertilization is around ovulation when the egg is in the fallopian tube. After travelling through the vaginal canal, the strongest sperm make it to the cervix. From here, the sperm must travel through the uterus and into one of the fallopian tubes.

Mitochondria are thought to have evolved from ancient bacteria. Free-living bacteria have lost motility in mitochondria over time.

<h3>What is endosymbiosis?</h3>
  • Endosymbiosis is the term used when one organism truly lives inside the other. According to the endosymbiotic theory, it is simple for a big host cell and ingested bacteria to become dependent on one another for survival and develop a long-term bond.
  • Due to their increased specialization through millions of years of evolution, mitochondria and chloroplasts can no longer survive outside of cells.
  • Chloroplasts and mitochondria are remarkably similar to bacterial cells. They have unique DNA that is distinct from the DNA found in the cell's nucleus.
  • Additionally, these organelles synthesize numerous proteins and enzymes necessary for their functions using DNA. Both mitochondria and chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane, which is additional proof that each was ingested by a primitive host.
  • Similar to bacteria, the two organelles also divide by themselves and replicate their own DNA.

Why is a key bed used?
Anna11 [10]
In geology, a key bed (syn marker bed) is a relatively thin layer of sedimentary rock that is readily recognized on the basis of either its distinct physical characteristics or fossil content and can be mapped over a very large geographic area.[1] As a result, a key bed is useful for correlating sequences of sedimentary rocks over a large area. Typically, key beds were created as the result of either instantaneous events or (geologically speaking) very short episodes of the widespread deposition of a specific types of sediment. As the result, key beds often can be used for both mapping and correlating sedimentary rocks and dating them. Volcanic ash beds ( and bentonite beds) and impact spherule beds, and specific megaturbidites are types of key beds created by instantaneous events. The widespread accumulation of distinctive sediments over a geologically short period of time have created key beds in the form of peat beds, coal beds, shell beds, marine bands, black  in cyclothems, and oil shales. A well-known example of a key bed is the global layer of iridium-rich impact ejecta that marks the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary (K–T boundary). Please let me know if it works.
