Scientists working in the fields of both genetics and archaeology have made discoveries that us understand the origin of maize.
which statement(s) best reflect the way(s) each discipline's work support evidence generated by the other? a. geneticists used dna data to determine how long ago maize was domesticated. archaeologists then verified the conclusion by dating maize microfossils.
b. archaeologists first determined where maize was first domesticated. from there, geneticists calculated how long ago that was.
c. genetics data pinpointed the likely location of the earliest maize domestication, which allowed archaeologists to find fossil evidence of early maize in caves.
d. geneticists used archaeological data to identify how many genes controlled the changes from teosinte to maize.
geneticists used dna data to determine how long ago maize was domesticated. archaeologists then verified the conclusion by dating maize microfossils.
genetics data pinpointed the likely location of the earliest maize domestication, which allowed archaeologists to find fossil evidence of early maize in caves.
Answer: Options A and C.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Genetic evidence guided the archaeologists toward a particular territory to search for proof of maize taming; archaeologists discovered microfossils on pounding stones that coordinated that age of the soonest maize anticipated by DNA examination.
These evidences were used by the archaeologists to look in for the maize domestication.
The best explanation to the information given is B.
Other options cannot be considered since there are no scientific background for fishes living on land nor fossils causing water evaporation neither fish that climbing mountain.
