Why do certain volcanoes develop in the middle of tectonic plates, instead of between them near the boundaries?

Drag each label to the correct location on the image. each label can be used more than once. a scientist introduced mutations in a gene sequence isolated from bacteria. study the sequence, and identify the steps where the mutations may affect the formation of proteins. in the sequence, black letters stand for protein coding regions and red letters stand for noncoding regions. protein will not be changed. protein may be changed. attcgtgttc atcgtgttc atcgtattc attcgtattc

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
