Answer:

3. Rocks erode and sediment is deposited.

4. No sediment is deposited over a long time.

Explanation:

An unconfomity is a break in stratigraphic record of a place usually as a result of non-deposition or erosion.

In a sequence of sedimentary rock strata some surfaces called unconformity surfaces gives clues about the depositional history of a particular place. During an unconfomity, there is usually no sediment deposition and when deposition resumes, the underlying rocks and the new ones will not share the same attribute especially by age. Unconformity can also be as a result of erosion of a sequence.

In the case of non- conformity, a sedimentary rock is deposited above an igneous or sedimentary rock. Option 5 is a simple example of an igneous intrusion called a sill. It is not unconformity.

During the course of an action potential, the membrane potential rapidly rises and reaches a peak of about +40 mV before falling
ad-work [718]

Answer:

A)  A decrease in Na+ permeability, and an increase in K+ permeability.

Explanation:

When the potential action reaches a peak of about +40 mv Na+ channels are open and a high number of Na+ ions are entering the inside of the cell. Shortly after this happens the K+ channels will start to open their gates increasing the cell  K+ permeability  while the Na+ channels will start to close their gates, so the Na+ permeability will decrease. This happens  in order to valance the positive charge on the inside of the cell. Normally the inside has a negative charge while the outside has a positive one, as the inside is more positive due to the increase in Na+ permeability at the beginning of the potential action, K+ cations (which are in abundance in the cell) will have to go out through the K+ channels  so as to restore the charge valance, that means that there is an increase in K+ permeability.

1. Suppose all of the seed tests were done at the same time in the same type of soil and weather
lukranit [14]

Answer:

High quality of seeds.

Explanation:

92% of the seeds in a seed  package will sprout if it has high quality because good quality seeds has the ability to germinate more than those seeds which are not of good quality. If the seed has high quality, it has more than 90% germination rate. If the seeds are infected by some disease or damaged due to mechanical means so these factors also affected the rate of germination.

What is the function of meristem
Stells [14]

Primary meristematic tissue helps the plant increase in length or vertical growth, meaning it helps the plant grow up toward the sun and down into the soil. It also helps a plant grow in thickness so that the roots and branches are stronger.

hope this helps :)
