Answer:

At 0 years, an event took place which is known as metamorphosis of igneous rock i.e., formation of igneous rocks from melted magma.

Strontium-90 is a radioactive element which undergoes beta decay to form yttrium-90. It has a half life of approximately 28 years and decay energy of 0.546 MeV. This radioactivity is used by geologist to estimate the age of the rock, fossils, meteorites etc. Other radioactive elements used by the geologists are carbon-40, potassium-40 etc.

Radiometric clock is set when the rock was formed in the past i.e., the moment when an ingenious rock was solidified from molten magma.

In which scenario could natural selection most obviously occur?
3241004551 [841]
<span>Natural selection is likely when there are stronger selection pressures. For example, a perpetual selection pressure is the fact that organisms have to compete for food and resources, meaning the best adapted ones survive. However, a stronger selection pressure may cause natural selection to occur more obviously. An example of this is when the number of white peppered moths decreased during industrialization in England due to the soot collecting on the trees. The change in population was very fast and obvious.</span>

German scientist carl correns found that the inheritance of variegated color on the leaves of certain plants was determined only
Anna71 [15]

The answer is extrachromosomal, or cytoplasmic, inheritance, or non-Mendelian inheritance. An example in humans is mitochondrion inheritance. Mitochondria are only passed from mother to offspring since only the egg has mitochondria while sperm does not. The name of the German scientist who discovered this type of inheritance was called Carl Correns.
