Answer: correct order--->

1)mammal teeth

2.)bones of an adult mammal quickly buried

3.) bones of an adult mammal left on the surface

4.)soft body parts of any animals

Explanation:

Fossilization is the ability of an organism to be preserved and remain unaltered for a very long time. Through research , it has been found out that Harder  parts of the body tend to remain preserved for a long time  because they  naturally have minerals deposited in them and may only be reduced,  but the softer part or tissues do not get preserved for a long time because being made up of polymer can be disintegrated easily by natural biological and physical processes.

The order of which material will likely fossilize is

1.)mammal teeth

2.)bones of an adult mammal quickly buried

3.) bones of an adult mammal left on the surface

4.)soft body parts of any animals

Reason,

--Teeth and bones biologically contain calcium but the teeth is more tougher and durable than the bone, Even when a  body is decomposed, the teeth most times are not  affected at all.

Bones of an adult mammal left on the surface will decompose faster than the one buried because of the biological (natural decomposing ) and physical processes(temperature, wind, sunglight, rainfall ) which will both act on it at the same time because of its exposure.

- soft body parts of any animals will decompose fastest as bacteria will feed on it immediately since it lacks minerals that can elongate preservation.

Draw a picture of DNA replication. Label the direction each strand is going, the enzymes involved with each step, the leading an
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The fork is drawn to emphasize its similarity to the bacterial replication fork depicted in Figure. Although both forks use the same basic components, the mammalian fork differs in at least two important respects.

First, it uses two different DNA polymerases on the lagging strand.

Second, the mammalian DNA primase is a subunit of one of the lagging-strand DNA polymerases, DNA polymerase α, while that of bacteria is associated with a DNA helicase in the primosome. The polymerase α (with its associated primase) begins chains with RNA, extends them with DNA, and then hands the chains over to the second polymerase (δ), which elongates them. It is not known why eucaryotic DNA replication requires two different polymerases on the lagging strand. The major mammalian DNA helicase seems to be based on a ring formed from six different Mcm proteins; this ring may move along the leading strand, rather than along the lagging-strand template shown here.

Which of the following is an example of diffraction?
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

You try to pick up a shell in the water but it isn't where it appears to be is an example of diffraction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Diffraction refers to the light bending that happens as the light passes about the edge of some object. How much bending takes place is found by the size of wavelength of light relative to that of opening. If the opening is larger than the wavelength of light, then bending will not be noticeable.

Since, light gets diffracted due to water hence the shell kept inside the water appears to be at a different position than where it actually is
