A scientist is using relative dating to determine the age of a fossil that she discovered. What would allow her to draw the best

conclusions about fossils that are younger than the one she discovered? measuring the amount of carbon and nitrogen in the surrounding rock measuring the amount of potassium and argon in the surrounding rock finding fossils in the same area that are in layers deeper under the surface finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface

answer:

: D.finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface.

Relative dating refers to the age estimation method in which past events are determined, to compare the age of object, organism, strata or rock with the age of other similar entity. This method gives an approximate or estimated age, it does not provide absolute age.  

The older fossils are found in deeper layers of the strata as compared to younger fossils. This represents the geological time and life span of primitive or preexisting organisms. Therefore, according to the given situation, finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface is the best conclusion

A tomato with a gene from a fish that helps the tomato resist frost damage is _____.
dangina [55]

Answer:

a. an example of a transgenic tomato (also called GMO tomato)

Explanation:

Genetic modification is the process by which an organim's genome is manipulated in order to achieve a desirable feature in such organism. Also called genetic engineering, genetic modification involves using biotechnology to alter an organims genetic composition. The organism whose genome is manipulated is called GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO) or TRANSGENIC ORGANISM.

In this case, a tomato with a gene from a fish that helps the tomato resist frost damage is said to be an example of GMO or transgenic organism because the genome of the tomato plant has been manipulated by inserting a desirable gene (resistance to frost) into it.
