The oldest rocks found on earth are 3.96 billion years old. however, scientists believe the earth is about 4.6 billion years old. what evidence supports this idea? choose all that apply.

all parts of the solar system are thought to have formed at the same time.

the moon and all the meteorites found on earth are about 4.6 billion years old.

there is no evidence to support the idea that the earth is over 3.96 billion years old.

the moon and all the meteorites found on earth are thought to have formed before the earth.

Which of the following statements is true? a. the main cause for speciation is an increase in gene flow. b. organisms that reproduce asexually are not considered part of a species. c. on a tree of life diagram, speciation is shown by the merging of two different lineages. d.the size of the geographic area inhabited by a population can cause speciation.

The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)

The table shows dates and appearance of index fossils. which rock layers can be dated most precisely? a) a layer containing both a fossil 4 and a fossil 3 b) a layer containing both a fossil 2 and a fossil 3 c) a layer containing both a fossil 1 and a fossil 4 d) a layer containing both a fossil 1 and a fossil 2
