Answer:

B. At the edge of the plates

Explanation:

<u>Gravity </u>is the principal <u>driving force </u>of <u>plate tectonics </u>(second one is convection<u>)</u>. It causes different density plates to move on the Earth's surface. However, when a <u>denser plate coincides the less denser plate, the high density plate subducts</u> below the <u>lesser density plate</u>. The process, therefore, is called <u>subduction</u>. During this collision of plates, <u>shearing resistance increases</u> and all <u>pressures come at the edge of the plate</u>. The process continues and the lithosphere drags the rest of the plate. The portion of plate below the less denser plate then reaches the mantle. Here, the edge of plate is destroyed due to high temperature of mantle as well as pressure.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.

Explanation:

Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.

Explain by a series of statements or steps how a tree trunk gets wider.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

A tree will get wider by the secondary growth of the cells. This happens when the cell growth of the cambia or lateral meristems causes them to elongate and become primary tissue.

The site below gives a detailed description of secondary growth.

Darya [45]

Not sure if I'm correct but my best guess is the cell membrane seeing as it surrounds the cell itself and is responsible for allowing certain molecules to diffuse in or out of the cell. Good Luck! :)

Jill is heterozygous for gene A and is going to have a child with Jack, who is homozygous recessive for gene A. Which of the fol
Igoryamba

Answer:

D. Aa

Explanation:

Given:

Jill (mother) is heterozygous for gene A --------- i.e Jill = Aa

Jack (father) who is homozygous recessive for gene A-------- i.e Jack = aa

Now if both cross and fertilization occurs, we have:

         A          a

a        Aa        aa

a        Aa        aa

The offsprings are (Aa, Aa, aa, aa)

Nondsijunction is the inability of homologous chromosomes to seperate properly during cell division. Now, we were told that this fertilization undergone nondisjunction in meiosis 1. Hence, both homologous chromosome move into the same daughter cells instead of different daughter cells because separation of homologous chromosome does not occur properly.

Therefore the result of these fertilization of a normal haploid sperm with an egg that had undergone nondisjunction in meiosis yields offspring with genotype Aa of their Mother (Jill).
