c. Iridium

Explanation:

The layer of clay that marks the boundary between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic is rich in iridium. Iridium is an element that is rare on the earth crust. It is found in other astronomical bodies.

  • The Cenozoic/Mesozoic boundary is an extinction time zone on earth in which nearly all organisms were wiped out.
  • During this period in time, scientists believed that a large bolide collided with the surface of the earth sending all lives to death.
  • Meteorites are rich in iridium and during the collision, they released a significant proportion in earth materials.
  • This is why iridium was observed by Walter Alvarez in significant proportion in Italy.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

In Recombinant DNA technology which involves DNA molecules formed by recombination to bring together genetic material from different sources, producing sequences that would normally not be found in the genome. Some basic steps are to be followed in the formation of your recombinant DNA. The restriction enzyme used in cutting the gene of interest from the pine tree DNA should also be the same used in cutting open the plasmid to make complementary sticky ends. Then integration of the isolated gene of interest into the cut plasmid and then this is treated with ligase to join the cut sticky ends. This construct is then introduced into bacterial cells.
