Answer:

Laws of stratigraphy help scientists determine the relative ages of rocks. This law states that deeper rock layers are older than layers closer to the surface. An unconformity is a gap in rock layers. They occur where older rock layers eroded completely before new rock layers were deposited.

Explanation:

The study of rock strata is called stratigraphy. The laws of stratigraphy can help scientists understand Earth’s past. The laws of stratigraphy are usually credited to a geologist from Denmark named Nicolas Steno. He lived in the 1600s.

1)magnification goes by 10x (read 10 times), 100x,1000x and some goes 10,000x

2)Always focus first using lowest power possible first, switch to medium power (100x) after it's focused on low power(10x), on 100x, use the small knob to focus it more. DO NOT touch the bigger nob when in medium or high power. Switch to high power (100x) when it is focused on medium power, again focus again using the small knob on high power.

3) So it doesn't gather dust and fog up the lense? that one should be self explanatory

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. In one population, the frequency of affected individuals (A 2 A 2) is 0.0004

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium formula for allelic frequency is: $p+q=1$

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium formula for genotypic frequency is: $p^2+q^2+2pq=1$

Here, $p$ =frequency of dominant allele

$q$ =frequency of recessive allele

$p^2$ =frequency of dominant genotype

$q^2$ =frequency of recessive genotype

$2pq$ =frequency of heterozygous genotype

frequency of affected individuals=0.0004(given)

here,affected individuals means the one's having Cystic Fibrosis and since it is recessive disease so we can write frequency of recessive genotype as: $q^2$ =0.0004
