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).

What is the purpose of the electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

To produce energy in form of ATP

Explanation:

The thylakoid membrane harbors photosystems that will receive light photons, ejecting electrons from a main chlorophyl molecule in a reaction center, to other acceptors.  These electrons will reach the electron transport chain to create a proton gradient, and subsequently, to produce ATP.  Later on these electrons will reach the other photosystem, to produce reducing power.  This is in plants.

Cyclic photosystems also exist, in some bacteria, for example,  and only produce energy as ATP.  They also have an electron transport chain.

The results of the punnet square show that one out of 16 offsprings will have both the qualities of having terminal flowers and being a dwarf.

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which depicts the likely outcomes of a cross. In the above punnett square, for the plants to have both terminal flowers and to be dwarf, both the alleles should be recessive for the traits.
