Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, oceanic crust.

Explanation:

Of the mentioned options oceanic crust is the thinnest. The topmost layer of the oceanic part of a tectonic plate is known as the oceanic crust. In comparison, continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust. However, continental crust is thicker in comparison to the oceanic crust that exhibits an average thickness of about 7 to 10 kilometers. Approximately 40 percent of the surface of the Earth is occupied by continental crust.

Answer:

Human genome has various replicons.

Explanation:

A replicon which is a unit of DNA, has potential to get replicated independently. So, the DNA replication occurs simultaneously at various replicons as a result of which human genome takes much less time than estimated to get replicated .

In contrast to this, prokaryotes like E.coli have only one origin of replication and thus one replicon due to which replication is restricted to once per cell cycle.
