Nicolaus Steno was a Danish geologist who gave two geological principles.
1. Principle of Original Horizontality - This principle states that sediments are deposited in the form of horizontal layers under the action of gravity.
2. Principle of Lateral Continuity - It states that the layers of sediments are deposited laterally in all directions in a continuous manner over the Earth's surface.

Nicolaus Steno set down two geologic principles, they are:
1. Principle of original horizontality: it states that layers of sediments are originally deposited horizontally under the force of gravity.
2. Principle of lateral continuity: it states that layers of sediments initially extend laterally in all directions. 
These two principles are important in the analysis of folded and tilted strata.<span />

Choose the best answer that describes what is happening during the process of interphase.
andrew11 [14]

The best answer would be:

A. The stage during which the cell carries out normal cellular functions and makes copies of its DNA.

If you'd like to know more about it, read on:

The cell actually spends most of its life in this phase of the cycle. This is the point where the cell grows and makes copies of its DNA in preparation for cell division.

Interphase is divided into 3 steps:

G1 phase - the cell grows larger and it makes copies of its organelles. (also known as the first gap phase)

S phase - the cell synthesizes copies of its DNA that is found in the nucleus.

G2 phase - it grows more and makes proteins in preparation for cell division. The cell even reorganizes its organelles in this phase.
