B. a specific place on a chromosome where a particular gene resides.

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Each chromosome carries many genes; humans' estimated 'haploid' protein coding genes are 19,000-20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes. A variant of the similar DNA sequence located at a given locus is called an allele.

Tom [10]
Let's think of it like this.  We have an energy crisis, but how can we solve it?  There are three steps.  First, we need to recognize that we HAVE a problem that needs to be fixed.  Then, we need to determine what's causing the problem.  Finally, we need to change how we act in order to solve the problem.  Now, let's look at the options.

Is A correct, leaving our behavior unchanged?  NO: if we know the cause of the problem, we still need to solve it!  What about B: the problems are ignored?  NO: you can't solve a problem unless you know it's a problem.  C?  NO: to solve a problem, you need to find out what's causing it.  Finally, let's look at D: behavior is changed after cause is identified.  This is correct: not only do we know why it's happening, but we're fixing it!

The rapid decomposition of organic matter produces evidence which supports: the slow accumulation of coal deposits long ages of
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

rapid burial of vast amounts of vegetation

Explanation:

The organic matter is always decomposing, just that it depends on the conditions at what kind of a rate the decomposition will happen. If the climate is warmer and humid, then the decomposition is very quick. This results in a rapid burial of enormous amounts of vegetation. As the vegetation dies out, it piles up constantly, decomposes very quickly, and if there is something that can cover it, like mud for example, it will be buried in the ground. This is actually how the big deposits of coal have got the basis to form in the Carboniferous period.
