Answer:

D. the law of crosscutting relationships

Explanation:

The law of cross-cutting relationships can help explain the age of the rock as it relates to the surrounding rock.

This law is one of the premise of relative dating. The relationship between the intrusion and rock body or country rock is used to discern their age.

  • When intrusions cross-cuts the host rocks, they are usually younger.
  • The host rock must haven emplaced before the intrusion sets in
  • The intrusion utilizes weak planes within the rock body to cool and solidify.
  • Now, when they are emplaced, then a vein or other intrusive bodies forms.

The common ancestors of birds and mammals were very early (stem) reptiles, which almost certainly possessed 3-chambered hearts.
MatroZZZ [7]

The common ancestors of birds and mammals were very early (stem) reptiles, which almost certainly possessed 3-chambered hearts. Birds and mammals, however, are alike in having 4-chambered hearts. The 4 chambered hearts of birds and mammals are best described as homoplasies.

<h3>What about homoplasies?</h3>
  • It is more frequently a modified version of an inherited characteristic.
  • For instance, the scales that were already present in its reptilian parent led to the evolution of feathers in birds.
  • Similar to reptiles, mammals developed fur from their predecessors' scales.
  • The same set of data can typically yield more than one potential cladogram.
  • Different species of legged lizards developed into snakes and lizards with limbless bodies.
  • Natural selection does not affect a sizable number of mutations.
  • They came to the conclusion that reptiles, birds, and mammals all descended from the same ancient reptilian progenitor.

ratelena [41]
The saying it's freezing outside just means it feels very cold. It's not accurate because the temperature doesn't actually cause you to psychically freeze.
