A geologist found a sediment deposit at the open end of a valley. After studying the deposit, the geologist concludes the sediment was deposited by the front end of a glacier. There is a glacier in the valley, but it has melted back 2.5 km up the valley (see diagram below).
How can the geologist estimate how long ago the glacier was in the lower part of the valley?
A.
Watch the glacier melt for a few hours, and see how long it takes for the distance between the glacier and the sediment deposit to double.
B.
There is no way to estimate thisâthe geologist must make a random guess.
C.
Divide the distance the glacier has melted back by the current rate at which it is melting back.
D.
Measure how long it takes for the rest of the glacier to melt, which will be the same amount of time.

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.
