A . Leaves were trapped between layers of sediment millions of years ago, causing the imprint

Explanation:

The only true explanation that perfectly describes the rock is that the leaves were trapped between the layers of sediment millions of years ago causing the imprint.

Leaf imprints are often referred to as trace fossils.

  • Trace fossils points to the different life activities an organism must have been engaged in.
  • When a leaf is trapped in a soft sediment between two layers, the compaction of the sediment can duplicate the form of leaf on beds.
  • This gives a physical overview to the nature of leaf.
  • Such an imprint did not grow, and cannot be attributed to metamorphic processes(option D).
  • Option C is completely wrong

For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to
umka21 [38]

Answer is (E) : Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Let me explain you why. Hershey and Chase conducted their experiment to show what is the genetic material that passes from one generation to another generation. Is it protein or DNA? For explaining this, they allowed the virus to grow in the presence of two different radio active elements.

In one set they grew viruses in the presence of P-32 radio-active element  

In another set they grew viruses in the presence of S-35 radio active element.

The reason why they choose these two radio-active element was, phosphorus is present in DNA but not in proteins and similarly sulphur is found in proteins but not DNA.

These viruses were allowed to infect bacteria and the later was observed to be radio-actively labelled with P-32 but not S-35. This clearly showed that DNA is the genetic material which was passed from virus to bacteria.  

Now if you choose Nitrogen for labeling, it won't help you in getting any conclusion since nitrogen is present in both proteins and DNA.

mezya [45]

Answer:

The third diagram shows Refraction of waves.

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon, which occurs in a wave when it travels from one medium to another medium, and during Refraction there is slight or greater change in direction of the wave.

hence, the wave will pass through the surface and displaces from its actual path.

that's why the most appropriate diagram showing Refraction is third one ( c ) .

Photosynthesis is one of the main processes that is basically responsible for the function of all living things. Without it carbon would not be cycled, oxygen would not be made and plants would not be able to creat food for themselves and would have to rely on another source.

Explain how convergent evolution leads to analogous structures.
musickatia [10]
<span>here you go Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages. Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups. The cladistic term for the same phenomenon is homoplasy.</span>
