Explanation:

The DNA could be dried -through the process of lyophilization- or stored, as a precipitate of ethanol, in liquid nitrogen (temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius). The aim is to reduce water in the stored samples as much as possible because the water can be involved in natural hydrolytic reactions (depurination, depyrimidination, deamination, and hydrolytic cleavage) that could degrade the nucleic acids of the DNA.

If the DNA is stored while being used regularly it is not advisable to store it as a precipitate of ethanol. It should be stored in aqueous form but in a slightly alkaline pH of about 8.5 to prevent acid-catalysed degradation processes.

Answer:

Forms of fossils and there arrangement with layer of rock.

Explanation:

  • The seashore is a significant place for the depositional work of waves and it's also one of the significant places for the erosion and weathering of rocks.  
  • The presence of sedimentary rocks along the cliffs are essential for the discovery of fossils of plants and animals. Fossils of shells and other creatures that were of marine origin are mostly discovered near excavation sites. Fossil helps to prove the age of rocks and strata.

Seeds are a derived character of the spermatophytes. All of the plants in this clade reproduce using seeds. However, embryo form
Natasha2012 [34]

Embryophyta is a clade within the Phragmoplastophyta, a larger clade that also includes several green algae groups. Embryophytes are the plants growing on land which include hornworts, liverworts, gymnosperms, flowering plants etc while green algae mostly thrive in aquatic environment.

The conduction of water requires vascular tissue called xylem. In green algae, it is not necessary to have water conducting tissue as the entire body is in contact with water. However in embryophytes, having a vascular tissue is an adaptation that ensures to provide water to the higher parts of the plant which is not directly in contact with the soil.
