Answer:

Principle of cross-cutting relationships

Explanation:

The geologic principle that will provide the most profound explanation to this problem is the principle of cross-cutting relationships.

It states that "features that cross-cuts rocks are younger than the layer they cut through".

Some of these features are intrusions, faults and joints.

The logic behind this reasoning is that without the rock in place, the cross-cutting event wouldn't have been recorded.

We can liken this to a fracture on the wall of a building. If the wall is not erected, there wouldn't be any fracture. Therefore, the fracture is far younger than the wall.

Drug that binds to tubulin molecules of plant cells and prevents the cells from assembling spindle microtubules would most likel
jonny [76]

Answer:

More than two complete sets of the chromosomes (polyploidy).

Explanation:

Assembly of spindle microtubules assist the chromosomes to arrange in the equator of the cell during metaphase. This is followed by the splitting of centromere and segregation of sister chromatids towards the opposite poles of the cell to ensure equal distribution of chromosomes among the daughter cells.

Any drug that prevents the assembly of the spindle apparatus would not allow the alignment of the chromosomes in the cell's equator. This would prevent the anaphasic segregation of daughter chromosomes to the opposite poles.  

Some of the resulting daughter cells are most likely to have more than two sets of chromosomes.

Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant—homozygous recessive—and a tall pea plant—het
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

a) 1 tall:1 dwarf

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele T is responsible for tallness while the allele "t" imparts dwarfism. The genotype of a homozygous recessive dwarf pea plant is "tt" and that of the heterozygous tall pea plant is "Tt". The heterozygous tall parent would make two types of gametes in equal proportion while the homozygous parent would produce all the gametes carrying "t" allele only.

A cross between Tt and tt gives progeny in following phenotype ratio= 1 tall: 1 dwarf.
