The correct answer is option A

The age of the rocks can be determined by the studying the faults that is always younger than the rocks it cuts through.

A fault is a crack or break caused in the rock. Any layer of the rock which is cut by the fault is older and the fault formed is younger.

There are many other ways which is used by the geologists to determine the age of the rock.

Option A, a fault is always younger than the rock it cuts through

Reason:  

Basically there are three modes of determining the age of rock

1) In a sedimentary rock, the layer at the bottom is the oldest. It is called as law of super position

2) If a rock layers lies below an extrusion, then it is always older than the extrusion

3)a fault is always younger than the rock it cuts through

Why are single-stranded binding proteins necessary for DNA replication?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

d.They prevent the two parental strands from coming together again.

Explanation:

During the process of DNA replication, the two DNA strands should be separated from each other to serve as a template. To separate the two DNA strands, the helicase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs of the DNA strands. The process uses ATP as a source of energy.

Due to the presence of complementary base pairs, the separated DNA strands have a tendency to reanneal by the formation of hydrogen bonds. To prevent the reannealing of separated DNA strands, single stranded binding proteins bind to them. Binding to single stranded binding proteins to the separated DNA strands does not allow them to reanneal.
