In Mitosis, how does a daughter cell compare with it's parent or parents?

It is an exact copy of its parent and share the same DNA

Index fossils are found throughout the world and come from organisms which existed during limited periods of geologic time. What best describes what an index fossil can be used to determine?

What is the relative age of a rock layer

Sand dunes are mounds or hills of sand, typically found in areas with abundant loose sand and strong winds, like beaches and deserts. What type of processes are sand dunes

What are Constructive processes

400

A punnett square can be used to...
predict what traits offspring could have based on what traits the parents have
400
There are two types of cell division - Mitosis and Meiosis. What makes these two different from each other?

Mitosis makes 2 daughter cell whereas Meiosis makes 4 daughter cells.

What is the difference between relative and absolute dating of rocks?

Relative dating places geological events in chronological order without exact ages. Absolute dating provides numerical age estimates for specific materials.

400

What are the differences between weathering and erosion

Weathering breaks down rocks at the Earth's surface. Erosion moves the broken-down materials from one place to another.

In the living world there is a great deal of genetic variation. The genetic information of dogs differs from the genetic information of cats. The genetic information of plants differs from the genetic information of bacteria. Your genetic information differs from your father's genetic information. What is least likely to be the source of genetic variation among living organisms?

What is Asexual Reproduction
