The correct answer is - C and D.

The principle of original horizontality means that the rock layers have been order by age, with the layers at the top being the youngest, while the layers at the bottom being the oldest.

In this picture it is little hard to tell which rocks belong to the same layer from first look because there are multiple twists and turns, an uneven surface, caused by pressure on the crust.

By carefully examining the image though, we can trace the layers more properly and see which ones are younger, which older, and which have the same relative age. In this case, we can see that the markings C and D are actually on the same layer of rocks, thus being a good indication that they have the same relative age.

Which of the following is a radical? O H20 OH H

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is C) OH

Explanation:

In the field of chemistry, radicals can be described as atoms, molecules or ions which have at least one unpaired electron.

The formation of a radical occurs when a single covalent bond breaks so that each of the atoms that had been involved in the formation of the covalent bond can have an unpaired electron. Examples of radicals include OH, NH4+ etc.

Other option, like option B, is not true because a molecule of water does not have any unpaired electrons in its valence shell.

When Mendel performed his experiments, only one trait appeared in the F1 generation, (in this case, round peas) and the other tr

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The explanation I would give to the phenomenon is that the round trait in peas completely covers or nullify the wrinkled trait when they are together. In order words, whenever a single the allele of both trait come together to form a new trait, the round trait allele dominates and mask the expression of the allele of the wrinkled trait.

This is what Mendel explained and dominance/recessive effects. The round trait was dominant over the wrinkled trait while the wrinkled trait was said to be recessive and can only be expressed when alone.
