In which of the following environments would you NOT expect to find fossils? (2 points)

1 answer:

7 0

You would generally not be able to recover fossils from volcanic or plutonic rock, so looking around in an area on active volcanic islands would yield nothing.

You always want to look in the layers of sedimentary rock for fossils. The Grand Canyon would be a great place to see these layers as well as a shallow ocean because you may find the remains of prehistoric shark teeth or bones protruding through the surface of the sand.

The answer is Active volcanic islands.

If this is a question in which you can choose more than one answer it may be smart to also choose a shallow ocean as well. This is because it is difficult to get the tools and materials necessary down in the water and would be difficult to get deep enough underneath sand to start digging into actual fossil bearing rock.

So in that case, the answer would then be both Active volcanic islands and A shallow ocean.

choli [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the graph. However, the independent variable of an experiment is the variable that is not affected by any other variable during the course of the experiment but is however intentionally or unintentionally predetermined by the researcher conducting the experiment. For example, in an experiment to determine the effect of age on blood pressure; age is the independent variable because the age class/groups of the individuals to be used can be determined by the researcher also the age cannot be affected by the pressure (the age of a person cannot change because of an increase/decrease in blood pressure).

Also, the control of an experiment is the variable/data in which other data in the same experiment are compared to. For example, in an experiment to determine the effect of a substance (such as sepin-1) on the growth of cancer cells (using a culture medium), the control can be the culture medium that was not given any substance or the culture medium that was given a pure substance of no effect like water. This means, in this control culture medium, the cancer cells will continue to grow normally while that growth will be compared with what is seen in the culture medium treated with sepin-1.

What might occur when mitosis is not stopped or occurs quickly due to the presence of cancer.

leva [86]

In a cell, there are several parts of it that are there to stop this from happening. Cancerous cells do not have the genetic code to stop growing and reproducing. A regular cell will actually destroy itself it there is a mutation. If it does not get destroyed, it could potentially be tumorous, then it could eventually be cancerous.
