Continental Drift
Copy the following information into your journal.
• Continental drift is a theory proposed in 1910
by a German scientist name Alfred Wegener that
states that all of the continents were once joined
together in a single landmass and have since
drifted apart.
▫ Wegener called this supercontinent Pangaea.
 Pangaea is Greek for ALL (pan-) EARTH (-gaea

1. Where can most of Earth’s volcanoes be
found? Why?
▫ Most of Earth’s volcanoes are found along
divergent and convergent plate boundaries
because the crust is weak and fractures,
allowing magma to reach the surface.

1. In terms of alleles, why were all of Mendel’s F1
pea plants tall when the parents were purebred
tall and purebred short?
▫
Each F1 pea plants had one dominant allele (tall)
and one recessive allele (short). Since dominant
masks recessive, the plants were all tall.
2. Were Mendel’s F1 pea plants from #1 purebreds
or hybrids? Explain.
▫
The F1 plants from #1 were hybrids because they
had two different alleles for a trait (characteristic).

lobes.
▫ Both of Mary's parents have free hanging lobes.
▫ Mary's brother Fred also has free hanging lobes.
Questions:

1. Explain how the structure of DNA ensures that
each new daughter cell has the genetic information
it needs to carry out life activities after DNA
replication.
▫
DNA replication is the process by which an identical
copy of the DNA strand forms for a new cell. During
DNA replication, the two sides of the DNA unwind
and separate like a zipper. The nitrogen bases in
the nucleus pair up (adenine pairs with
thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine) so
that the new DNA strand exactly matches the
order of the original strand.
