Answer:

Option (D)- which is fossil 4, as given in the image

Explanation:

From the law of superposition of rocks, it is known that the rock layer forming the bottom of an undisturbed sedimentary sequence are the oldest rocks because they those sediments were first deposited there and due to compaction and lithification it formed a rock layer, and subsequently new sediments are deposited on top of it. The rocks that are found to be present at the apex portion of a rock sequence signifies the youngest rocks, where the recent sediments are deposited.

So the fossils present in the bottom layers will be oldest and those fossils that are present on the top rock layers are the youngest.

Thus, the fossil sample number 4 (trilobites), as given in the image is the oldest fossil.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D), which is fossil 4.

In place of thymine, what does RNA use as a base <br><br> Please help
11111nata11111 [884]
The first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine. Uracil is energetically less expensive to produce than thymine, which may account for its use in RNA.

How does biodiversity support healthy ecosystems
pav-90 [236]

ANSWER: Biological biodiversity refers to all the different kinds of life that are obtainable in a particular ecosystem, this include all the plants and animal populations that are found in a particular geographical area.

Biodiversity supports healthy ecosystem because it enhances the productivity and the survival of the ecosystem. For instance, in a situation where there are large number of different plant population in an ecosystem, such population will present variability in genetic make up. If a negative event occur in the ecosystem, it will be possible for some plants to survive. But, in a situation where it is only one type of plant that is obtainable in the ecosystem, it will be quite easy to wipe all of them out at once. For instance, a disease outbreak can easily destroy all the plants.
