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 book stated the concepts which were well accepted by the scientific communities that is the gene determines the trait which is located on the chromosomes proved by the experiments of Morgan.  

The chromosomes are the condensed structure present in the nucleus was suggested by the Nageli in 1884. The chromosomes are composed of nucleic acid and protein was also proved and was well-accepted fact.

But the genes are made up of DNA was not well accepted which was suggested by the experiments of Avery in 1940s.
