D! They are both decomposing dead organic matter and metabolizing it through certain pathways to obtain energy! Hope this helped :)
The cell cycle is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division that produces two new daughter cells. Cells on the path to cell division proceed through a series of precisely timed and carefully regulated stages of growth, DNA replication, and division that produces two identical (clone) cells.
sorry if it is wrong
The correct answer is: Layer 1, layer 2, and layer 4 in all three regions.
The index fossils are fossils that are commonly used for identifying a geological period of time, and these fossils are also very wide spread, as well as having a rapid evolutionary trends.
By this picture, we can easily see that even though we have rock strata from different regions, the same layers contain the same fossil, and it is a fossil that also is rapidly evolving so has a minor change in each layer.
