Answer:

Option D, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the eroded soil. Therefore, erosion is the first step in formation of sedimentary rocks.  

The eroded soil or rock is carried by carrier agents such as wind, water etc. and deposited at some place where it gets compacted under its own weight. After deposition and compaction, physio-chemical processes take place to produce chemical bonding between the deposited granular particles. Chemical interactions causes cementation of the compacted material  

Hence, option D is correct

Why must cells divide to stay small or change shape to reduce volume?
stepan [7]

Answer:

if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The benefits of pesticides include increased food production, increased profits for farmers and the prevention of diseases. Although pests consume or harm a large portion of agricultural crops, without the use of pesticides, it is likely that they would consume a higher percentage.

Dmitrij [34]
The intermediate color or rather condition, in this case "roan", is a result of two alleles being codominant. Codominance occurs when the phenotype (or the physical expression of the gene) of a heterozygote individual expresses both the alleles in a pair of genes. In the given situation, both parents are homozygotes.
