The answer is; B is younger than D


In sedimentary rocks, the bottom layers are older that overlaying layers. This is because sediments are placed on top of each other by surface runoffs to ocean beds. Therefore, the first sediments to be deposited will always be towards the bottom as more and newer ones are brought in and deposited.

Match each component of biodiversity to the example of how it contributes to ecosystem stability.
professor190 [17]

Answer:  

Genetic diversity: Some individuals in a population of wild rabbits are resistant to a new disease.

Ecosystem diversity: If the population of wild rabbits decreases, a bobcat can switch its diet to squirrels or woodchucks.  

Species diversity:  Populations of wild rabbits from a forest and from a neighboring meadow can interbreed, which increases variation.  

Biodiversity of an ecosystem is usually explored by three diversities which are responsible for ecosystem stability they are : genetic diversity, ecosystem diversity and species diversity.

Genetic diversity is the variety of genes within a population of species. Each species consists of individuals bearing different genetic composition. Some individuals in a population of wild rabbits are resistant to a new disease because they exhibit genetic diversity within the population as a consequence some individuals exhibit genes which protect them against new disease.

Species diversity is the variety of species within an ecosystem. Populations of wild rabbits from a forest and from a neighboring meadow can interbreed, which increases variation is an example of species diversity. The wild rabbits from a forest and a neighboring meadow are two species living in an ecosystem stating the diversity of species in an ecosystem.

Ecosystem diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a given region.If the population of wild rabbits decreases, a bobcat can switch its diet to squirrels or woodchucks is an example of ecosystem diversity because in an ecosystem there is interaction of organisms as predator prey relationship. This example is also relating with predator prey relationships in an ecosystem.

A scientist is using relative dating to determine the age of a fossil that she discovered.
Dmitry [639]

Answer: D.finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface.

Relative dating refers to the age estimation method in which past events are determined, to compare the age of object, organism, strata or rock with the age of other similar entity. This method gives an approximate or estimated age, it does not provide absolute age.  

The older fossils are found in deeper layers of the strata as compared to younger fossils. This represents the geological time and life span of primitive or preexisting organisms. Therefore, according to the given situation, finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface is the best conclusion.

What can you infer about a species that has a random pattern of distribution over space? A uniform pattern?
Leona [35]

The individual organisms that frame a population are additional or less equally spaced, spread every which way with no predictable pattern, or clustered in teams. These are called the uniform, random, and clumped dispersion patterns.   Uniform refers to the evenly distributed population, random means random spacing and clumped shows the distribution in clusters.

Food supply and resources are directly proportional to a particular distribution pattern. Random distribution occurs when several pollen grains of some flowers were carried by wind or bees. These flowers will then bloom where they were scattered.

hope this um ... helps hehe ........
