What causes the "plastic" nature of
the asthenosphere?
A. it is mostly water
B. it only found under the ocean
C. constant earthquake activity
D. heat from below

Answers

Answer 1

The heat from below causes the "plastic" nature of the asthenosphere. The correct option is D.

What is asthenosphere?

The asthenosphere is the upper mantle's mechanically sluggish and ductile region.

It is located beneath the lithosphere, somewhere around 80 and 200 kilometers underneath the surface, and can extend up to 700 kilometers. However, the asthenosphere's lower boundary is not well defined.

Semi-plastic rock makes up the Asthenosphere. Because of Lithosphere has a lower density, it resides on top of the Asthenosphere, much like an iceberg or a block of wood does on water.

The lower mantle beneath the Asthenosphere is stiffer and less plastic. The outer core is located beneath the Mantle.

The "plastic" essence of the asthenosphere is caused by heat from below.

Thus, the correct option is D.

The image below shows part of the surface of a leaf.
0.1 mm x 0.1 mm
The length and width of this piece of leaf surface are both 0.1 mm

Calculate the number of stomata per mm of this leaf surface.

Answers

Explanation:

You didn't attach a picture so i'll just explain how to find the number of stomatas/mm^2.

first you find the surface by multiplying the length by the width

0.1*0.1=0.01mm^2

now you count the numer of stomatas in the picture

in0.01mm^2 you have.........................x stomatas

in 1mm you have ...............................y stomatas

For this cell division, you can see that 4 daughter cells are made that have half the genetic information as the original. What type of cell division is this?

a) Diffusion
b) Mitosis
c) Meiosis
d) Photosynthesis​

Answers

Answer:

The cell division where 4 daughter cells with half of the genetic information of the original are obtained is meiosis (option c).

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division through which sex cells or gametes are obtained. It is a reductive division, since the daughter cells resulting from the process contain half of the chromosomal charge with respect to the original one.

In the process of meiosis, four haploid cells are obtained from a diploid cell, each of which is involved in the reproduction of the species. This mechanism of division occurs in two stages, called meiosis I and II.

The other options are not correct because:

    a) Diffusion: it is a passive trans-membrane transport mechanism.

    b) Mitosis: is the cellular division of somatic cells, where the result is two daughter cells identical to the original.

    d) Photosynthesis: is the mechanism by which plants obtain energy and nutrients, from solar energy.

Explain what the greenhouse effect is, use diagrams if you wish.
Include:
-Radiation from the sun absorbs earths heat
-Some emitted
-Trapped by the greenhouse

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect refers to the heating effects produced by the earth's atmosphere on the planet as a result of the atmosphere absorbing reflected radiation from the sun by the earth.

The earth's atmosphere is a blanket of gases, some of which are referred to as greenhouse gases. These gases have the capacity to trap radiations coming from the sun that is reflected by the ground layer of the earth. Thus, they produce a warming effect on the earth.

A bulk of the radiation coming from the sun is reflected back into space by the earth's stratosphere. The small percentage that passes through are dispersed in different directions and some of them pass through the atmospheric blanket to reach the ground layer of the earth. While some are absorbed by the ground itself, some are emitted back into the atmosphere where the greenhouse gases trap a large portion and prevent them from escaping back into space.

This leads to the warming of the earth and the entire phenomenon is referred to as the greenhouse effect.

He continued to breed purple-flower producing pea plants together over six generations. The results of Ralph's artificial selection are shown above. What did artificial selection do to the population of pea plants? A. caused a new species of pea plant to form B. increased its genetic diversity C. decreased its genetic diversity D. caused a pea plant to exhibit a new characteristic

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that artificial selection decreased the genetic diversity of the pea plant.

Genetic diversity is a measure of the number of traits or characters.

Initially, the breeding produced a considerable population of both white and purple flower offspring. But as time goes on, the population of purple flower offspring increased while that of the white flower decreased till it eventually reached zero.

Thus, artificial breeding reduced the number of traits in the population of the offspring from two to one - a case of reduction in genetic diversity.

The correct option is C.

In the late 1800s, a biologist studying animal embryos coined the phrase "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny," meaning that the physical development of an animal embryo (ontogeny) seemed to retrace the changing form of the species during its evolutionary history (phylogeny).

Why would embryonic development retrace evolutionary steps?

Answers

Answer:

Embryo provides information about their ancestors.

Explanation:

Embryonic development retrace evolutionary steps because embryo provides evidence for evolution as embryo formation in widely-divergent groups of organisms are conserved. This embryo provides information that leads to their ancestors from which they evolve so we can say that embryonic development provides evidence for evolution of an organism.
