Answer:
Index fossil that is also known as indicator fossil is used to determine the age of the layers of the rocks. It says that the new layer of sedimentary rocks lie over the old layer.
The deeper we go, the older the rocks we will find. Index fossil of animals that lived or survived only for a short period of time are very useful. An example of index fossil can be Ammonites that were found in Mesozoic era that was about 25-35 million years ago.
Answer
Feldspar a common mineral found in rocks have two cleavage plane and can be cleaved in two directions nearly at right angle . Mica is a group of sheet silica that have perfect basal cleavage plane, and can be cleaved only in one direction.
Correct answer: D). DNA technology can increase genetic diversity by producing more variant alleles.
The genetic diversity can be increased by the mutation that creates new alleles in the population. The recombinant DNA technology enables the joining of DNA from the two or more than two sources that allow changing the genetic composition of the living organism. The genetic diversity helps the population to adapt to the changing environment.
Hence, the correct answer would be option D.
Answer:
Genetic variation is always maintained.
Explanation:
One would think that the part of the population that is not favored in dry years would die and thus reduce the genetic variation but this is not likely to occur, otherwise all the population would die because some individuals would die in wet years and some in dry years. In reality they are able to survive in the transition from dry to humid years or viceversa. Actually, this variability that results from their genetic variability in their adaptability to changes in the climate is what keeps the population alive and able to thrive as time passes.
