Answer:

superposition

The principle of superposition builds on the principle of original horizontality. The principle of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks, each layer of rock is older than the one above it and younger than the one below it.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Nitrogenous bases contain the genetic information, their amount is variable among different species, and the arrangement of these bases is also variable among different species

Explanation:

Both Watson-Crick and Pauling's DNA models considered that DNA nitrogenous bases (i.e., Adenine, Cytosine, Thymine and Guanine) contain the genetic information that determines the characteristics of living organisms. Moreover, both DNA models also considered that nitrogenous base composition varies between species, as well as the arrangement of these bases in the DNA chain also varies between species. Based on these features, Linus Pauling considered that a model where nitrogenous bases would be arranged on the outside of the DNA molecule would be easier for the DNA molecule to be replicated, transcribed, or repaired. Although incorrect, Pauling's DNA triple helix model was fundamental to develop the helical (double-stranded) structure of DNA, which was finally discovered by Watson and Crick in 1953.

Describe some of the effects that dilated blood vessels will have on blood pressure.
grin007 [14]
Since pressure is force per unit area, blood pressure could be thought as the force exerted by the blood to the surface area of your blood vessels. When your blood vessels dilate, it means that they expanded. The result would be faster flow of blood. When this happens, the force of the blood is not any more concentrated on your blood vessels because there is more room available. 

Think of a faucet where tap water flows. When you stopper the faucet with your finger, you feel the force of the water. The pressure builds up as manifested by the sound your faucet makes. But when you release your finger, the water rushes through and flows faster. The pressure is released. Therefore, when your blood vessels are dilated, your blood pressure decreases.

What happened at the end of the Archean?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The Archean Eon marked a time when Earth’s climate began to stabilize.

Earth cooled down from its molten state. It eventually could support oceans. Tectonic activity built continents.

In the Archean Eon, oxygen filled the atmosphere and most of the world’s iron ore was deposited.

Because the Earth’s conditions stabilized, eukaryotic and multicellular life could finally emerge in the Proterozoic Eon.
