How can you figure out the relative age of rocks

Biology
1 answer:
Thepotemich [5.8K]3 years ago

You can figure it out by looking at a sequence of rocks to try to decipher the times that an event occurred relative to the other events represented in that sequence. The relative age of a rock then is its age in comparison with other rocks. If you know the relative ages of two rock layers, (1) Do you know which is older and which is younger? (2) Do you know how old the layers are in years? so yeah séquences haha

How is cytokinesis different in animals and plants? Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the p
jasenka [17]
<h2><em>Let's review what cytokinesis is first.</em></h2>

<em>Cytokensis</em> is the <em>physical process of cell division</em>. It divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two different daughter cells.

In plants, a cell wall forms. Cytokensis occurs in mitosis and meiosis. The objective for cytokensis is to divide the parent cell into two daughter cells. So cytokensis in plants is when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells. Plant cells have walls, so they CANNOT divide using a cleavage furrow. A cell plate forms across the cell during telophase.

In animal cells, cleavage furrow forms. This pinches the cell in half and forms two different cells.  

<em>A cleavage furrow is an indentation that appears in the cells surface when the cell is preparing to divide.</em>

So, let's review our options:

A: Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

This would be the <em>correct answer.</em><em> </em>The only main difference between animal cell cytokensis vs plant cell cytokensis is the cell wall that animal cells lack. Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells, by the cleavage furrow in the cell membrane, while the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

B: Animal cells give daughter cells a full set of chromosomes at the time of division; plant cells give daughter cells a half set of chromosomes. .

This can be disproven. In meosis, a cell divides into four cells that have half the number of chromosomes. In mitosis, all chromosomes are kept. Both Plant & Animal cells both reproduce using both both meosis and mitosis, so this option is <em>irrelevant. </em>

C: Animal cells require an extra grow phase before cytokensis; plant cells move straight to cytokensis.

Both animal cells and plant cells have the same amount of "grow phases" before cytokensis. This option is<em> irrelevant. </em>

D: Animal cells begin cytokensis during anaphase, plant cells begin around the same time as telophase.

They both begin during the same time. This option is also<em> irrelevant.</em>

In one type of plant, orange petals (O) are dominant over yellow petals (o) and tall stems (T) are dominant over short stems (t)
vodka [1.7K]

Answer No 1:

The set up of the punnet square is shown in the attached diagram. As the alleles assort independently hence the gametes formed will be OT,Ot,OT,Ot and OT,Ot,oT,ot. These will be the outcomes of the possible gametes formed. When these gametes are cross bred, the results are shown in the diagram attached.

Answer No 2:

The outcomes of each possible genotype are:

OOTT = 2/16

OOTt = 4/16

OOtt = 2/16

Oott = 2/16

OoTT = 2/16

OoTt = 4/16

Answer No 3:

The likelihood of each possible offspring phenotype is:

Orange petals with tall stem  and orange petals  with small stems present in ratio 12:4 i.e. 3:1.

madam [21]
Aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is metabolised in the presence of oxygen and leads to the formation of energy as a main product. the by products are carbon dioxide and water. The process takes place in four phases: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
