The principle of faunal succession states that if we can estimate the age of the fossils, we can

find the absolute age of a fossil.

assume that the rock layer formed at the same time the fossil formed.

older fossils will be found below younger fossils.

use extinct animals to guide the principle of faunal succession.

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
