The answer is that these continents were once joined together in one big continent.

All continents were once connected as one supercontinent Pangea. On that supercontinent, many species lived across all the supercontinent, such as mesosaurus. But after continents spread apart, some populations remained on the different parts of the supercontinent. So, some population ended up on South Aamerica, some on Africa, and some on Antartica. The geological theory that explains how continents move through Earth's surface is called c<span>ontinental drift.</span>

Which cell organelle contains coded directions for production of proteins? Question 3 options: endoplasmic reticulum lysosome Go

UNO [17]

Answer: nucleus

Explanation: The nucleus contains the DNA which is a genetic material that contains all the instructions for protein synthesis. Before proteins are produced, the DNA is first of all copied into an single stranded RNA in a process known as transcription. This process takes place in the nucleus. The single stranded RNA then leaves the nucleus to the ribosome where protein synthesis takes place, there the RNA is translated into a polypeptide chain.
