Not only does sediment spread horizontality and from youngest (top) to oldest (bottom), it also continues to spread flat in all

directions until it either runs out of material—pinches off—or hits a barrier. This is known as the _____.

Answer:

law of superposition

Explanation:

The law of superposition in geology suggests that the sediments are spreading out in a horizontal manner, flat, in all directions, until there's some natural feature that will stop them. It also suggests that the sediments are arranged vertically from the oldest being at the bottom, and the youngest layers being on the top.

Even though this is not always the case in nature, still there are lot of examples that support the law of superposition. When the sediments are aligned in that manner, the geologists find it very helpful and easy to determine the relative age of the layers, as well as the relative age of the fossils that are found in them.

Which of the following is NOT the result of a mutation in the DNA sequence of an organism?
Mama L [17]

DNA is copied during mitosis and when the two resulting copies of DNA are compared they are found to contain the same order of nucleotides is not the result of mutation in the DNA sequence of an organism.

Explanation:

Mutation is the process

It is caused by certain chemicals called mutagens or by environmental factors.

In mutation the nucleotide get change which eventually changes the protein product.

In  mutation purine base gets mutated to purine base and pyrimidine base gets mutated to pyrimidine only.

A single change in nucleotide is called point mutation and the effect occurring because of it is called frame shift mutations.

In S phase there are checkpoints which ensure that DNA replication is accurate and when mitosis follows it equal distribution of DNA takes place between the two daughter cells hence no mutation will takes place.

In which horizons would plant be planted
hammer [34]
It is important to mention that "horizon" make reference to each layer that the soil has. Each of them has different characteristics which allow them to fulfill different roles. 
 If you want to plant the most appropriate horizon would be A. (A horizon) This is made up of mineral and decomposed matter and it presents a dark color. here many plats roots grown in.

A mutation occurs in which a base (T) is inserted into the DNA sequence after the G, at the position marked with an asterisk, be
Zarrin [17]

A mutation which occurs when a base is introduced into the DNA sequence before transcription begins will lead to frame-shift of a single base on the DNA sequence resulting in nonfunctional protein from the transcribed mRNA.

Explanation:

This change either through addition or deletion of a single base in the codon sequences of the DNA will modify the amino acid codes and will result in nonfunctional proteins after transcription.

This mutation will just result in change of a single base, i.e., it would be added either to the enhancer region or the silencer region of the sequence before the promoter which initiates transcription.

The mRNA produced due to mutated DNA sequence after the deletion or insertion point will be read as out of frame thus resulting in nonsense protein.
