Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

According to the law of superposition, the rocks that are found at the bottom of an undisturbed sedimentary sequence are the oldest rocks as these layers are initially formed due to the process of deposition, sedimentation and lithification, and with progressive sedimentation, the rock layers that are formed at the the apex portion are the youngest rocks.

So, the fossils found in bottom rocks are the oldest fossils, and those fossils that are found in the top layer are considered to be the youngest fossils.

Thus, the oldest fossils are the ones that are found in the deepest strata.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (1).

Answer:

<em>The light microscope uses visible light to produce images of objects on its slide while the electron microscope uses beams of electrons to project the image of specimens.  Color is a property of photons of light, hence, the light microscope is able to produce images of specimens in their natural colors </em>

<em>The areas of the specimen on an electron microscope in which the beams of electron pass through usually appear white while other areas appear black. Hence, the electron microscopes can only produce grayscale images of specimens unless a false color is added to make the images visually appealing.</em>
