NeX [460]3 years ago

Answer:

The characteristics of fossils that are most useful in correlating sedimentary rock layers are:

Wide geographic distribution but limited to a particular formation.

Explanation:

the reason behind this answer is because the correlation of sedimentary rock layers requires a geographic distribution large enough to preserve all the fossil elements. However, it requires to be only a zone delimited to the body of fossilization because otherwise, it could contain elements from another fossil.

DNA replication occurs prior to meiosis and _________.
Evgesh-ka [11]
A. Mitosis is the correct answer.

DNA replication occurs in the two major types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is the splitting of a normal cell into two daughter cells and involves complete replication of the cells DNA to produce two identical copies. Meiosis is a specialised and more complex two-stage form of cellular division related to sex cells and involves DNA replication followed by an exchange of DNA material within/between the chromosomes to mix genes from both parents and produce daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Animal sperms and eggs are examples of cells produced by meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes as normal cells. When combined during fertilization the egg and sperm produce a cell with the full compliment of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis is a part of the cellular life cycle that is related specifically to the division of the cytoplasm (basically the "soup" of material inside the cell). It is part of the cellular division process but not specifically related to nuclear division (i.e. DNA replication).

Transcription relates to the production of RNA from DNA which is then used for protein synthesis. DNA is not replicated during the transcription process, rather, this is a separate process critical for the production of proteins by the cell.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The biologists clarify these similarities as a homologous pair. This is based on the principle of convergent evolution.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Convergent evolution</em> is understood by the phenomenon of development of similar organs in different species in different period. Those<em> homologous pair </em>have same structure but can have different function in the different <em>species of organism. </em>

The bone of human arms, wings of the bat and dolphin flippers contain many of same bones which have developed from the same embryo tissue but the function for each is <em>different in different species.</em>
