Charles Lyell developed the concept that geological processes progress at uniform, or constant, rates throughout history. Most g

eologists of his time thought sudden, major catastrophes were the cause of the geologic formations they studied. Which of the following pieces of evidence was most likely to have influenced Lyell to break away from this school of catastrophism and develop a different school of thought? Events such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen relatively frequently and regularly. The same types of geologic formations are found in the same types of places all over the earth. A canyon can be cut by the flow of a river if it flows in one path for a long enough time. A cut through a hillside shows layers of rock piled on top of each other.

Answer: option (A)

Explanation: The renown geologist Charles Lyell has a huge contribution in the field of geology, who brought into the concept of "Uniformitarianism" which depicts that the earth undergoes the same geological processes at a constant rate that means the processes that has taken place in the past will undergo now and in future too.

Due to this on-going tectonic activities, the earth experiences earthquakes and volcanic eruptions at different places at different time.

Hence, the correct option here is (A)

Why enzymes are necessary for many cellular reactions?
solmaris [256]
They catalyze a reaction, making it operate at several orders of magnitude faster than it would otherwise, and don't change the end products

Think of it this way, if someone were to perform surgery sure they could probably do it alone... but things go much faster if there's an assistant (enzyme) there handing them the stuff they need

How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

Class Mammalia is divided into two subgroups: marsupials and placental mammals.
White raven [17]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

The mammals can be differentiated into three main groups on the basis of the development of their babies. These three groups are marsupials, monotremes, and placental mammals, which is the largest group. The monotremes refer to the mammals, which lay eggs. The marsupials refer to the mammals, which give birth to young ones that are not developed completely. While in a placental mammal, the development takes place within the body of a mother until and unless its systems of the body start to work on their own.
