Earth's core is the source of the energy that drives the movement of tectonic plates. Which two processes help transfer this energy outward to earth's crust?

Answers

Answer:The two processes are CONDUCTION and CONVECTION

Explanation:

The Energy produced in the Earth core is generated by  Sun, gravitational force , radioactive decay, and the  Earth' rotation, To maintain balance in the earth, The  processes of CONDUCTION and CONVECTION transfer energy (HEAT) to Earth's interior, which also helps the movement of  tectonic plates at a  constant rate.

Now, inside the earth mantle is made up of hot solid rock and because Conduction occurs more in solids, Its currents helps the continuous  transfer of heat energy  from the warmer mantle at  the bottom   to  the cooler  mantle  at the top While Convection currents in the core move thermal energy causing  the rising and sinking of warm and cooler molten rock inside Earth, thereby maintaining the motion of tectonic plates and  creating a balance in the earth.

Interactions between organisms and their environment impact the organism’s overall population. The jaguar Panthera onca is the largest cat in North America. It is found in areas across the Southwest, including Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. It is a carnivore that has powerful jaws and sharp teeth and preys on fish, turtles, and many smaller mammals. Which shows the relationship between the jaguar and turtles?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - predator-prey

Explanation:

The relationship between predator and prey is the interaction between predator and prey. A predator is is an organism that lives on hunting down other organisms for their nutrition and energy while the prey is an organism that is getting killed or hunted down by a predator. The population of prey is controlled by predators.

Here, the jaguar depends for their nutrition and energy on turtle and other organisms, therefore, jaguar hunt the turtles for their food which makes this a predator-prey relationship.

When pure black hamsters were mated with pure white hamsters, all of the offspring were black. The trait for whiteness would best be described as?

Answers

Answer:

Recessive

Explanation:

All of the offsrping were black so that means black was the dominant gene and white was the recessive

At the time when the pure black hamsters were mated so here,  the whiteness trait should be called the recessive.

What is recessive?

It refers to the allele type that should not be manifested in an individual till both individual copies of the gene should include the particular genotype.

And, all the offspring should be considered as black so here black treated as the dominant gene and white should be considered as the recessive

Hence, the whiteness trait should be called recessive.

Answers

Answer:

5' cap

Explanation:

In eukaryotes, the 5′ end of mRNA in eukaryotes is modified (i.e., capped) with a guanine nucleotide which is connected to mRNA via 5´→ 5´ triphosphate linkage. The five-prime cap (5′ cap) is denoted as 7-methylguanylate cap (m7G) because guanosine is methylated at the 7 position by a 7-methyl transferase. This cap acts to protect the mRNA from degradation and also is required during translation initiation in order to mediate a process known as ribosome recruitment. This process (ribosome recruitment) occurs through the association of the 43S preinitiation complex (composed of the small ribosomal subunit, eIF1, eIF1A, eIF2, eIF3 and eIF5 factors) with the 5' capped mRNA. After mRNA binding, the 43S preinitiation complex is ready to scan an initiation codon in order to start the translation.

Which is the most likely result if the Ubx gene was activated either before or after it normally is activated in the sequence of Hox gene expression?


A. The insect develops slightly shorter or longer abdominal legs.

B. The insect develops normal body parts at either a slower or more rapid rate.

C. The insect develops normal body parts but in an altered time sequence.

D. The insect develops legs in other parts of its body.

Answers

Answer:

D. The insect develops legs in other parts of its body.

Explanation:

HOX genes, also known as homeotic genes, are evolutionarily conserved genes (containing homeobox sequences) that encode master regulators of embryonic development in animals. Hox genes modulate the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis. In general, these genes are arranged in the same order as they are transcriptionally expressed along the anteroposterior body axis. Moreover, Ultrabithorax (Ubx) is a Hox gene that is responsible for the proper development of the third thoracic segment in insects. In Drosophila, it has been shown that different segments of the leg regulate their size in response to Ubx expression.

Answers

Answer:

The competition increases between organisms.

Explanation:

 Primary succession occurs after a disturbance or disaster that leaves open spaces with no living organisms. These new open areas are the case, for instance, of a bare rock exposed due to a retreating glacier, a volcanic activity, or an intense fire. No previous species inhabiting this area are left.

These scenarios allow new species to grow. With time, new species arrive and manage to establish again. The order of the establishment depends on the strategies of each of the species to survive.

First, pioneer species arrive. These are the first inhabitants, mostly lichens or plants with the capability of surviving in such an environment. Only a few pioneers can establish in the open space. Pioneers modify the habitat. They make it more suitable for the posterior establishment of later species, converting rock into fertile soil. As conditions get better, new species arrive like grasses. Grasses and pioneers keep modifying the ground and making it better with time. Competition becomes more frequent between species. The first species are eventually eliminated by competition, while new species keep appearing and competing for resources. Habitat modification keeps on going while new species establish. They produce shadows, alter the temperature, and humidity, fertilizing the soil, competing for resources. Competition becomes more frequent between species. This sequence continues until there is not more facilitation, and the commuting reaches a climax, becoming stable and lasting for hundreds of years until another disturbance occurs.

Identify how information for specifying the traits of an organism is carried in the DNA.

Answers

Answer: DNA carries all of the information for your physical characteristics, which are essentially determined by proteins. So, DNA contains the instructions for making a protein. In DNA, each protein is encoded by a gene (a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that specify how a single protein is to be made).

Explanation:

The traits or characters are present in the DNA in the form of genes. Genes are short stretches of nucleotides present in DNA and represent the encoded message that is present in the individual.

What is a gene?

Genes are present in the DNA. It carries information about the traits that are expressed in an individual. Genes come from parents to offspring, so they are hereditary and pass from one generation to the next. From DNA, mRNA is formed from the gene by the process of transcription.

This mRNA is again converted to proteins or polypeptides by the process of translation. This product is the result of the message that is present in the gene. Example: melanin pigment and skin color variation. As different persons have variations in their genes, the production of this melanin protein synthesis varies, and as a result, skin color among individuals varies.

 

Hence, the information for specifying the traits is carried by genes present in DNA.

Which process produces a greater number of offspring?
chromosome duplication
asexual reproduction
gamete formation
sexual reproduction

Answers

Answer:

asexual reproduction

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction produces a greater number of offspring compared to asexual reproduction, chromosome duplication and gamete formation.

What is the involvement in sexual reproduction ?

This is because sexual reproduction involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, resulting in offspring that have a unique genetic makeup.

This increases the number of possible genetic combinations and thus the number of offspring produced. Chromosome duplication and gamete formation are involved in the process of sexual reproduction, but neither produces offspring by itself.

Chromosome duplication is the process by which one cell splits into two identical cells, each with the same genetic material. Gamete formation is the process by which reproductive cells such as sperm and eggs are formed.

These cells then combine during sexual reproduction to form a new organism. Asexual reproduction, on the other hand, involves a single organism producing offspring that are genetically identical to itself. This means that the number of offspring produced is limited compared to sexual reproduction.

Which activity would help decrease the greatest carbon-releasing activity in US homes? limiting time in hot showers wearing layers of clothing turning off lights when leaving a room unplugging electronics when not in use

Answers

Answer: unplugging electronics when not in use

Explanation:

Carbon footprint is the measure of the amount of carbon liberated into the atmosphere due to human oriented activities like burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, liberation of toxic gases including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by the factors and automobile vehicles. To stop the carbon releasing activity in US homes one must unplug the electronic not in use because electronics consume a lot of electrical energy every day this electrical energy comes from thermal power plants which typically use coal to harness energy the combustion of the coal liberates carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the environment so creating pollution and increases the carbon footprint. Little will be the usage of electricity little will be the burning of coal and it will decrease the carbon footprint.
