merican Plates at the _______. _______ is where rocks are carried back into the mantle of the earth. _______ iron can be magnetized by the magnetism of the earth. Subduction of the ocean floor occurs in _______. Respond to the following based on your reading. Why have rocks older than 200 million years never been found in the oceans? Explain how the movement of tectonic plates is responsible for this recycling of the ocean floor.

Answer:

1. ridges and trenches (either answer is acceptable)

2. mid-atlanitc

3. subduction zone

4. molten

5. oceanic trenches

Explain:

6. Rocks in the ocean eventually get subducted back into earths mantle due to slab pull. New rocks form at mid-ocean ridges as ridge forces two plates to diverge.

Imagine that a doctor is culturing two types of cells: one from a malignant melanoma and one from a normal skin sample. How woul
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Malignant melanoma cells would have active telomerases that constantly replenish and lengthen telomeres.

Explanation:

Telomerase can be described as enzymes which add the repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres can be described as repetitive sequences at the end of the chromosome which are involved in protecting the chromosome from any damage.

In a normal skin cell, the telomeres will shorten with time. But in a malignant skin cell, the telomerase will add the repetitive sequence again and again. The telomers will not be able to shorten.

A population of birds lives on a small island. Another population of the same species lives on the mainland. The distance betwee
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on this information it can be said that this formation between the islands and the mainlands will most likely cause an increase in gene flow between the bird populations. Since the islands and the mainland are now connected birds from both these two different habitats will begin mating and producing progeny, thus causing gene flow to increase between these species.

A sample of DNA is collected from an organism. It is analyzed and determined that 20% of the DNA is made up of the base adenine.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Thymine: 20%

Guanine: 30%

Cytosine: 30%

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rule which states that the purine residues are equal to the pyrimidines residue in DNA sample which means A+G = T+C where A is adenine, G is guanine, C is cytosine and T is thymine. It is also known that A is always equal to T and C is equal to G.

So, A+G+T+C = 100

20+20+G+C

100-40 = G+C

60= G+C

as we know G is equal to C similarly A is equal to T

Thus, G = C= 30%

    A= T= 20%

White blood cells that phagocytize and digest other cells would be expected to
rosijanka [135]

The phagocytes are the cells that protect the body from pathogens. They engulf and devour the pathogens and foreign particles. This process is called the Phagocytosis.

After the phagocytosis process is over, the phagocytes are expected to participate in the antigen presentation. The antigen presentation is the process in which the phagocytic cells move some of the parts of the ingested pathogen to be presented to the other cells of the immune system so that anti bodies are created so that the immune cells become equipped to fight the same pathogen attack again

A student placed a semipermeable membrane inside a U-shaped channel with two chambers, as shown. The
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Placing salty water in  A and distilled water in  B.

Explanation:

The fastest net rate of water movement into the A-side will occur if we place salty water on that side and distilled water in the other one. The reason for this is that the A-side contains a higher concentration of solute than B. So, the water will pass the semipermeable membrane and go to the A-side to valance the concentrations on both sides. As we can see, there is an increase in the net rate of water movement into A.
