The organic matter, or hydrocarbon raw material, is derived primarily from petroleum and natural gas.

Doss [256]
The appropriate answer is d. Dead plants in a swampy environment is the perfect environment for the beginning of the coal forming process. Over time layers pile up in this anaerobic environment. The plant or organic material gets buried overtime by dirt or rocks. Millions of years of burial will expose the matter to heat and pressure and will eventually lead to the formation of coal and other petroleum products.

What is the name of the process that occurs when complementary pieces of dna or rna bind to each other?
frez [133]
The association of a DNA or RNA strand to its complement is one of the basic research tools of the molecular biologist. Binding of a compliment can identify target regions of DNA or RNA, and can be used to disrupt the process of DNA manufacture. If the complementary DNA is labeled with a compound that fluoresces, then the binding of the fluorescent probe can actually be visualized using a microscope<span>. This permits the "real time" examination of </span>DNA synthesis.<span>
