Radioactive dating can determine the age of minerals and fossils in each layer of rock.

Explanation:

Radioactive dating is the most commonly used geological method to determine the age of rocks and fossils layered in the layers of rock on the basis of their natural radioactive decaying.

With the help of the known rate of radioactive decay of isotopes, different types of radiometric dating are done depending upon the material found in the rock layers, like uranium-lead dating or potassium-argon dating.

Radiocarbon dating helps to record organic content in rocks like bones, shells, etc. Age of fossils sediment over sedimentary rocks is determined by combining with the bracketing method.

A daughter cell that matures to the inside of the vascular cambium becomes ______, and a daughter cell that matures to the outsi

melomori [17]

A daughter cell that matures to the inside of the vascular cambium becomes secondary xylem and a daughter cell that matures to the outside of the vascular cambium becomes secondary phloem.

The cambium divides its cells to create secondary xylem and phloem. As secondary phloem and xylem tissue builds up, the stem becomes thicker and develops wood and bark.

The kind of xylem produced by secondary growth is known as secondary xylem. In contrast, during primary growth, the primary xylem develops.
As a result, lateral growth, as opposed to vertical growth, is connected with the secondary xylem, as opposed to the primary xylem.
The procambium, which is found between the xylem axis and the phloem pole, develops into the cambium in the root.
A pattern resembling the arrangement of secondary stem is produced when xylem forms in the core and phloem on the perimeter of secondary development.

mixas84 [53]

Germination takes place when the conditions become favorable for a dormant seed. These conditions include availability of water, nutrition, sunlight as well as temperature. Dormancy prevent germiation in unfavorable conditions. Hard seed coats, impermeability, and immature embryo may also cause dormancy.
