A geologist is studying rock layers in a river delta. The layers are buried at a shallow depth beneath sediment that the river i

s depositing today. Just like the sediment on top, the sediment in the rock layers was deposited by the river.
How might the geologist estimate how long it took to deposit the sediment seen in the rock layers?
A. Use the layers' thickness and the current rate of deposition to calculate the time.

B. Time how long it takes to dig a trench as deep as the rock layers.

c. Construct a box as tall as the rock layers, and time how long it takes to fill it with a shovel.

D. The only way to estimate the time needed would be to sit for a few hours and watch new layers form.

How would being able to bring water into the gills when the mouth is closed benefit a bottom-dwelling shark or ray?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

The ability to bring water into the gills when the mouth is closed would benefit a bottom dwelling shark or ray, because it would allow them to be more discreet when in the process of catching prey and they would be able to stop swimming. Most sharks have to continuously swim or else they would sink, while being able to bring water into the gills when the mouth is closed would highly benefit them and allow them to stop swimming for a moment.

Explanation:

I am not 100% sure this is the correct answer, but I am currently doing a lab on this, so I am using the knowledge I previously had and online resources. I am pretty confident though.

What benefit can human stem cells provide to individuals with a genetically determine immunodeficiency? How would the process wo
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The stem cells possess two cardinal characteristics, that is, self-renewal and differentiation. The examples are embryonic stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells. The genetically determined immunodeficiency in a person is generally a result of the defective gene in the hematopoietic stem cells that produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and other components of blood.  

The examples of genetically determined immunodeficiency diseases are SCID, X-linked Agammaglobulinemia, and others. The individual suffering from genetically determined immunodeficiency exhibits a defective gene in hematopoietic stem cells. There are two methods of treatment, that is, stem cell therapy and gene therapy.  

The procedure of stem cell transplantation generally comprises HLA matching, in which the main step is to prevent graft rejection. It is succeeded by harvesting of hematopoietic stem cells from the HLA matched donor. The step of conditioning is performed to eradicate the recipient HSCs by radiotherapy and chemotherapy succeeded by the transfer of harvested donor HSCs to the patient or the recipient.  

A person cannot receive his own stem cells as his or her each and every cell is defective in that specific gene accountable for the disease.
