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.

Identify the inheritance mode of each condition by using the labels to complete the table. labels can be used once, more than on
yan [13]
Since no table is given, I will explain how genes are inherited. After Mendel’s discoveries were accepted, scientists realized that traits passed to offspring were the result of genes being passed from parents to offspring. This is an example of the law of inheritance. The genes that are passed down from the parents are being shared by the offspring. It can be shown if the trait is recessive or dominant from the parents’ gene. <span>Chromosomes are inherited from the parents. One chromosome from each of 23 pairs came from each of the parents. The two chromosomes of a pair (except for the sex chromosomes) contain the same genes, but the genes have small differences. The X and Y Chromosomes determine the organism’s sex. One chromosome pair - the sex chromosomes - is unique. Typically females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y. Mothers always pass an X chromosome on to their children. Whether the father passes on his X chromosome (leading to a pair of X chromosomes) or his Y chromosome (making a mixed set) determines your sex. </span>
