which principles states, that in undisturbed rock layers, the oldest rocks are on the bottom and the youngest rocks are on top

Biology

Leviafan [203]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is principle of superimposition.

Explanation:

According to the superimposition principle, in the undisturbed rocks, the youngest rocks are situated on the top and the oldest rocks are found in the bottom. The phenomenon takes place due to withering. The rocks get withered because of the influence of air and water.  

The soil particles or the sediments get gathered at another site. The deposits of sediments get concentrated with time and result in the production of rocks. The mature rocks get surrounded by the layers of sediments with time passing by. These sediments get concentrated again to produce novel rocks. Through this procedure, the fresh young rocks get produced over the older ones.

Which process takes CO2 out of the atmosphere
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxygen.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with oxygen. By respiration, O2 is removed from the atmosphere and replaced with CO2. However, these processes are not balanced. Some organic matter is not oxidized. (I'm very sorry if I'm wrong but I believe it's that)

Seed size in a plant is a polygenic characteristic. A grower crosses two pure-breeding varieties of the plant and measures seed
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The F1 progeny is completely heterozygous for the <em>loci</em> of interest since they were obtained by mating between two pure-breeding plant lines. In the next generation, the backcross progeny will have homo-zygous individuals and therefore they will be more variable, resulting from meiosis in F1 hybrids

Explanation:

An F1 resulting from the cross between two pure-breeding plant lines will produce all hybrid individuals, all of them genetically (and phenotypically) identical. Meiosis in F1 hybrids is well known to produce homo-zygous genotypes and thus increases genetic diversity in progeny. For instance, for a single <em>locus</em>, the expected ratio of genotypes obtained from crossing two heterozygous parents is 1:2:1, i.e., one homo-zigous dominant individual, two heterozygous individuals (genetically identical to the parents) and one homo-zygous recessive individual; while the expected phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (i.e., 3 dominant expressing: 1 recessive expressing​).
