Answer:

d. Tensional stress is a correct answer.

Explanation:

The lithosphere is the outer layer of the Earth due to tensional stress it gets fractured.

Tensional stress cause strain on the lithospheric material, which results in the fractures of the rocks in the lithosphere.

Tensional stress dominates the interaction between the plates and pulls them apart, due to this crust collide and the plates move in the opposite direction and it causes a fracture in the lithosphere.

Thus Tensional stress causes fractures in the lithosphere.

A particular triplet of bases in the template strand of DNA is 5' AGT 3'. The corresponding codon for the mRNA transcribed is __
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3' UCA 5'

Explanation:

The rule of pairing of base-pair says that A and T base pairs with each other with two hydrogen bonds and G and C base pairs with each other with three hydrogen bonds in DNA. In the case of RNA Uracil comes at the place of thymine that means uracil replaces thymine.

Therefore according to this base-pairing rule the corresponding codon of mRNA transcribes from DNA codon 5' AGT 3' will be 3' UCA 5' as U came in place of A nucleotide, C comes in place of G nucleotide, and A comes in place of T nucleotide.  

Therefore the correct answer is 3' UCA 5'.

Mendel carried out his research on garden peas. You should remember that he used seven pairs of traits. Modern geneticists have
Goshia [24]

Answer:

A. the two genes on chromosome 1 are more than 50 mu apart.

Explanation:

Two or more genes present on the same chromosomes are the linked genes. Linked genes do not assort independently and do not exhibit crossing over. Therefore, the linkage of genes results in deviations from Mendel's law of independent assortment. However, if the linked genes are present far from each other on the same chromosome, they may exhibit crossing over.

The greater the distance between the linked genes, the higher are the chances of crossing over. Crossing over of linked genes would result in some of the progeny to have the new gene combinations as it occurs during an independent assortment of two genes. Therefore, Mendel observed an independent assortment of two genes present together on chromosome 1 since they were present far apart from each other (more than 50 mu apart).

The theory of plate tectonics is supported by _______. The Eurasian and African plate are pushed away from the North and South A
anyanavicka [17]

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.
