Scientists working in the fields of both genetics and archaeology have made discoveries that help us understand the origin of ma
ize. Which statement(s) best reflect the way(s) each discipline's work support evidence generated by the other? Genetics data pinpointed the likely location of the earliest maize domestication, which allowed archaeologists to find fossil evidence of early maize in caves.
Geneticists used DNA data to determine how long ago maize was domesticated. Archaeologists then verified the conclusion by dating maize microfossils.
Genetic evidence pointed the archaeologists to a specific locality to look for evidence of maize domestication; archaeologists found microfossils on grinding stones that matched that age of the earliest maize predicted by DNA analysis
Scientists used the archaeological and genetics evidence for discovering the origin of maize with the examination of DNA data
Archaeologists examine the fossil evidences of maize in caves and determined the domestication of maize
Hence, the right statement of discipline work is "Genetics Used DNA data pointed the likely location of the earliest maize"
