What is the relationship between undisturbed sedimentary rock layers and fossils?

Biology
1 answer:
Juli2301 [7.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

The relationship between undisturbed sedimentary rock layers and fossils is that older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rocks.

This is one of the premise of the law of superposition and principle of fossil and fauna succession.

  • An undisturbed sequence is one in which the sedimentary layers have been arranged sequentially.
  • The oldest is at the bottom and the youngest on top.
  • Also, fossils grade in this manner too.
  • The oldest fossils will be in the oldest bed which is the deepest layer.
  • The youngest bed will contain the youngest fossils in like manner too.

What do you call the end of a straw wrapper that a waiter leaves on your straw when serving your drink?
daser333 [38]

The waiter tears the raised part of the straw wrapper a few inches from either end and he pulls until a piece of the wrapper is entirely removed. The exposed part of the straw is what is then placed in the drink, leaving the remaining wrapper for the customer to remove himself. This will assure the customer that the waiter has not touched the straw with bare hands. The part of the straw that has remained is called a straw lace, or a drinking straw sleeve or a strawphylactic.

Most of the nucleated cells in a multicellular organism contain all of the genetic information for the organism. Which of the fo
vova2212 [387]

<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell

<u>Explanation</u>:

Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.

  • A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
  • A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
  • A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
  • This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
  • During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
  • During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.

Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>

A student wants to view a cell’s mitochondria. Which of the following microscopes would show a mitochondria’s internal structure
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Transmission Electron Microscope would show a mitochondria’s internal structure in the greatest detail

Explanation:

The TEM is used to visualise the internal structure of the cells. This works when an electron beam of light passes through the object or the sample, it shows a clear presence of the organelles inside the cell. The TEM uses the energetic electron which provides the morphological as well as compositional and crystallographic features of the cell. Its maximum potential is about 1 nanometre. Among the most powerful microscope for studying the internal organelles of the cell TEM is one.
