Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Fossils are defined as the dead residues of ancient flora and fauna that are buried millions of years ago. They are found to be embedded in the sedimentary rocks. They are useful in determining the relative age of a rock or fossil.

The type of fossil that forms depends on how the organisms have died and the conditions under which the dead organism was buried. The fossils are found as mold and cast, trace fossils and the fossil's true form. If the fossils marks its imprints on the soft sediments then the molds are formed and cast forms when the mineralised sediments gives the shape of the exact fossil by filling up the mold. Trace fossils are formed when the organisms leaves an imprint while they move from one place to another. This is how the fossils and their types are determined.

Thus, the conditions under which these fossils are died and buried is necessary to understand and also these fossils are very important in the field of Paleontology as it helps in understanding the past environment, climate and the organism's food habitat.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Answer:

There are no options in this question but generally a sample of DNA can be increased;

By using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique.

Explanation:

This question describes the application of making molecular biology to solving a crime problem; a branch called forensics. In this case where an insufficient small amount of DNA sample was recovered from the blood in a crime scene, the polymerase chain reaction technique, commonly known as PCR can be used to increase the DNA sample.

In the 1980's, a molecular technique used to amplify part of a template DNA strand to produce several copies of it, was invented by Kary Mullis and his colleagues. This amplification refers to the numerical increase in the number of DNA sequence.
