Answer: Shale changes into Slate.

Explanation:

Shale is a sedimentary rock, formed by the deposition and compression of clay and silt.

Shale layers is buried deep into the earth through the process of deposition (i.e the laying down of rock forming material by natural entities like glaciers, wind, and water).

Temperatures and pressures rise greatly because the shale’s layers are buried. When the temperatures and pressures become higher. The shale is changed into a metamorphic rock (with dark brown streak), called Slate.

Answer:

Study of comparative anatomy emerged in the 18th century and led to establishment of relationship between species based on the common traits

Explanation:

The three major events that occurred after this discovery are –  

a) Discovery of the fact that the age of earth is much higher than the age of earth as found in previous theories of continental drift theory

b) The age of the oldest fossils was determined and based on that relative age of all species (as found in fossils) was determined.  

c) The determination of age of fossil helped to find the gaps in the evolutionary tree and hence provoked search of these missing species.

The study of comparative anatomy started somewhere around 1800 when George Cuvier emerged as father of comparative anatomy

Based on comparative anatomy study, scientists such as Buffon and Lamarck worked on establishing relationship between species based on the common traits shared between them

Explain how and why hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solutions affect plant and animals cells?
lesya692 [45]
When placed into an hypertonic solution, animal cells will shrivel up, while plant cells will stay firm thanks to their air-filled vacuole. In a hypotonic solution, the cells will take on water and appear more plump. In an isotonic solution, they'll stay the same.
