Answer: A. It enlarges continental landmasses and forms mountains along the edges of continents.

The accretion is a process in which small objects, matter or particles gets aggregated to form a large object, landmass due to the affect of gravitational force acting on these entities. Example of accretion process includes formation of galaxies, stars, planets and mountains. Mountains are formed at the edges of continents because of accumulation of debris and sediments released between the edges is an example of accretion process.

Dose DNA have cells i need to know for a assingment

kiruha [24]

Answer and Explanation:

Cells are made of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid).

They provide the genetic instructions for making and forming a cell.

The DNA is found inside the nucleus of the cell.

Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a chromosome

DNA do NOT have cells, but cells DO have DNA.
