Answer;

This is because most likely some time a ago there use to be Ammonites living there and as they died there, they got fossilized.

Explanation;

-Fossils of a marine animal called Ammonite are found in large numbers in the Kali Gandaki river in Nepal. Ammonites were sea animals having shells - either straight or coiled. When the Tethys sea disappeared, they were caught in the shale layers of clay and transformed into fossils. This is one of the proofs that the Himalayas were indeed once under water.

If a biologist wanted to analyze the evolutionary relationship in a gene that is found in both eukaryotes and bacteria, which of

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) histone coding genes

Explanation:

Histones are the proteins involved in the packing of DNA in eukaryotes. They are positively charged proteins and are not found in bacteria. To analyze the evolutionary relationship in a gene between eukaryotes and bacteria, one must choose the gene present in both of them. The tRNA, rRNA and hexokinase encoding genes are common to both bacteria and eukaryotes. Therefore, one of these genes may be chosen for the study. However, histone encoding genes are not present in the genomes of bacteria. Therefore, the study of the histone encoding gene would not be useful for the mentioned purpose.

All genetic information is stored in DNA are divided into units called ____

rusak2 [61]

Okay, biology isn't exactly my strongest subject (it never has been), but I'm pretty sure the answer is nucleotides. DNA is made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogen base. There are four different nitrogen bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). A always pairs with T, and G always pairs with C.
