pancreas-secretes insulin and glucagon, control of blood sugar levels

Answer:

A. volcanic ash layers were regularly interspersed between the sedimentary strata.

Explanation:

The discovery of a fossil is a moment of accomplishment for archaeologists, hence the date dating process begins and the older the relic the greater its value for paleontology. Chemistry is present in this process, more precisely the carbon element, but other elements can be used as uranium, lead, potassium and argon.

In the case of the fossils reported in the question, to assign absolute dates to fossils in this sediment core would be most useful if volcanic ash layers were regularly interspersed between sedimentary strata because it would separate sedimentation times and allow the use of more than one element. dating, making the search more complete and the date most credible.

What is natural selection (not from google) give an example of what natural selection is
ruslelena [56]
Natural selection is nature’s way of keeping the best fit-to-live things alive, and so on continue to the next generations.

For example, if a rabbit has a limp, it is bound to be out run and eaten by a predator relatively early in its life (unless it is extremely lucky.) Because of this, it is unable to reproduce, and there genes that it contained to have its limp are unable to spread through inheritance. Natural selection goes both ways. For example, if a hawk has very god vision, it will be able to scope out its prey easily, so it will thrive. Therefore, when it produces offspring of its own, its trait of good eyesight will pass on to its offspring.

So, as enough time goes on, the bad traits will be weeded out and the good ones will remain.
