Option A, a fault is always younger than the rock it cuts through

Basically there are three modes of determining the age of rock

1) In a sedimentary rock, the layer at the bottom is the oldest. It is called as law of super position

2) If a rock layers lies below an extrusion, then it is always older than the extrusion

Instead of thinking of the cell like a school, what else can you compare a cell to? Explain your reasoning.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

A cell can be compared to any organism that counts on different parts that have to fulfill their role for the sake of t's correct functioning, ex: a factory, a machine.

A cell can be compared to the school because every organel has a function to fulfill in order to keep the whole cell functioning in the right way. If any of the organells fails, the cell itself has to check what is wrong with it, and if the problem persists, the cell may die or replace it. The same happens with the school, it counts on different parts (teachers, directives, etc.) and if any of those parts fails, it has to be replaced before the structure itsellf gets damaged.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is -  the more specialized pharyngeal jaws are for one diet, the less adapted they are for the ingestion of other foods

Explanation:

Pharyngeal jaws are also called throat jaws and are specific for the prey. These jaws have strong muscles and plastic or easy-to-modify teeth. If an organism has pharyngeal jaws specialized for a specific diet or prey it will have lesser chances to adapted well according to the new diet. For instance, pharyngeal jaws highly specialized for scale eating will not be able to adapt well if the fish ingests algae.
