The correct answer is a - GTCCAATGC

According to base pairing rules, in DNA G will always pair with C and A will always pair with T.

These letters represent nucleotides. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids namely DNA and RNA.

A denotes the nucleotide called Adenine

C denotes the nucleotide called Cytosine

G denotes the nucleotide called Guanine

T denotes the nucleotide called Thymine.

In RNA, there is slight difference in base pairing. Since RNA never has Thymine in its structure, the thymine has been replaced with Uracil. Therefore in RNA, Adenine will pair with Uracil.

What do scientists use to mark boundaries in the geologic time scale?

tekilochka [14]

Era is used to mark the boundaries of geological time scale by using radio carbon dating technique.

Explanation:

Geological time starts with Precambrian time.

Geologically, time is divided between the Precambrian era and present time into era.

The three eras are Paleozoic era, Triassic period and Cenozoic era.

Era is further divided into periods.

Scientists use radio carbon dating to study fossils and rock formation. With this study they were able to divide them in exact geological scale.

Geologic scale is the record of events in earth's history and evolution.
