Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Unconformity is defined as the gaps in the sequence of geological rocks. It is a geological contact that marks the boundary between the different types of rocks. In simple words, they are also known as the time of non-deposition. These unconformities have great significance in the field of geology. They are of 4 types, namely-

(1) Angular unconformity- The sedimentary rocks are initially formed and deposited in an area, after that the area is tilted and erosion takes place. Now, the new sediments are deposited forming an angle, which is commonly known as an angular unconformity.

(2) Non-conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited over the igneous or metamorphic rocks, then it is known as the non-conformity.

(3) Para conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited parallel to the ground surface, and absence of erosion activity, then these surface appears to be a normal (simple) bedding plane. This is known as the para conformity.

(4) Disconformity- When the sedimentary rocks are formed and undergoes erosion, then new sedimentary rocks are deposited over this and diminishes the unconformity. This forms a discontinuity.

Thus, the unconformity arises due to both erosion and lack of rock deposition.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.Amplify the gene using PCR. Insert the gene into a plasmid vector. Transform the vector into the bacteria.

Explanation:

If I have a very small amount of gene for a fluorescent protein than the first step is to amplify the gene so that appropriate protein can be produced. PCR is the instrument that is used to amplify the protein.

So after amplification of the gene, the plasmid vector will be used in which the gene will be inserted because the plasmid vector is used to insert this gene in host cells where protein will be expressed.

The final step will be to transform bacteria with recombinant plasmid so that plasmid can make its copy and express a fluorescent protein in bulk.
