Answer:

law of original horizontality, law of superposition, law of original lateral continuity and law of cross-cutting relationships.

Explanation:

Before we know the principles of Stratigraphy, we need to understand what it is. To do this, let's first look at the origin of the word statigraphy: from Latin stratum means layer and from Greek graphia means field of study. From this we can understand that stratigraphy is the study of layers. Therefore, we define stratigraphy as the study of the sedimentary rock layers and it seeks to determine the processes and events that formed them.

Now that we know what Stratigraphy is, let's know its principles:

  • Law of superposition: In any succession of strata of rock (which has not been deformed), the oldest stratum is positioned lower, with the successively younger strata being positioned higher. This principle allows us to identify the order of formation of the strata, which is the basis of all historical interpretation of stratigraphic rocks.
  • law of original horizontality: Sedimentary deposits usually accumulate in horizontal layers under the influence of gravity.
  • law of original lateral continuity: Sedimentary layers are continuous, extending to the margins of the deposition basin, or tapering laterally
  • law of cross-cutting relationships: states that an intrusive or faulty rock that cuts a sequence of rocks is younger than the rocks it cuts.

The following F2 phenotypic data was obtained from a Drosophila testcross using an F1 offspring. Assume red eye and brown body a
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.

Explanation:

One of the given options has a typo: the red eye-brown body offspring count should be 56 instead of 561.

<u>We have two genes with two alleles each:</u>

Red eyes (w+) is dominant over white eyes (w).

Brown body (y+) is dominant over yellow body (y).

The phenotypes of the F2 tesulting from a test cross (F1 x wy/wy) are:

  • wy+/ey (white-eye, brown body): 670
  • w+y/wy (red-eye, yellow body): 650
  • wy/wy (white-eye, yellow body): 38
  • w+y+/wy (red-eye, brown body 56

If the genes w and y are linked, two phenotypes in the F2 will be much more abundant than the other two. Recombination during meiosis is a rare event, so the most abundant phenotypes are the parentals (the ones present in the F1 parent).

Every individual in the offpsring has a <em>wy</em> chromosome, as this was the gamete inherited from the test cross individual.

In this case, the most abundant gametes are wy+ and w+y, so the genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.

Notice how when recombination occurs in the F1 parent, the recombinant gametes appear: wy and w+y+, which are the less abundant in the F2 progeny.

Que es la biogenesis
ira [324]

La biogénesis es el proceso fundamental de los seres vivos que producen otros seres vivos. Ejemplo: una araña pone huevos de los que saldrán más arañas. La biogénesis es aquel principio según el cual la vida solamente se origina de una vida preexistente (que ha existido antes).

Why do some small bridges have weight limits that depend on how many wheels or axles the crossing vehicle has?
Sladkaya [172]
Well you know sometimes you see a lot of small bridges that will have weight limit signs. I believe this is really for safety precautions. Keyword: SMALL bridge -

Due to some bridges being small, the materials and strength of the bridge may not can withstand a certain weight. The contents of the vehicle, axels, and wheels, all add to that weight. So there is a very good reason for that to matter.
I hope my somewhat, tied together answer provides just the information you need!
