In sedimentary rock the oldest fossils would be expected to be found

Biology
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

At the bottom of the sequence

Explanation:

According to the "principle of superposition of strata", the oldest rocks are formed at the bottom of sedimentary rock sequences.

The oldest rock layer would contain the the oldest fossil. Weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition would bring all sediments which includes rock materials and remains of living organisms to the basin where they would be lithified to form sedimentary rocks. This makes the oldest fossil to be at the bottom of the sequence. As time progresses, the fossil sequence would continue to accumulate and young upwards as the strata becomes relatively younger. Also, we know that fossils succeed one another in a definite manner.

This why relative dating of rocks can be possible.

Epigenetics refers to a special kind of hereditary mechanism. Epigenetic changes do not change the DNA nucleotide sequence, yet
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Histone acetylation or DNA methylation.

Explanation:

The epigenetics may be defined as the genetic phenomena that might cause mutation in the organism's genome. The DNA sequence of the organisms do not get changed in epigenetics.

This phenomena is limited whether the gene is herited from the mother ot the father. The phenomena like acetylation of histones increase the gene expression. The DNA methylation and histone deacetylation at specific residues reduces the gene expression.

Thus, the answer is histone acetylation or DNA methylation.

In "simple columnar epithelium," which word describes cell shape and which word describes the number of cell layers?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:columnar describes cell shape.

Simple describe the number of layers

Explanation: epithelial tissues are one of the four major tissues of the body.the others being nervous, muscular, connective tissues.

Epithelial tissues are made up of thin cells that cover the external and internal surface of the body.

The cells may form one layer or more and they occur in several shapes.if they form one layer ,it is called simple.if they form several layers,it is called stratified.

Some are called pseudo-stratified because the cells occur with varying lengths and give the impression of stratified but they are actually made up of one layer.

Simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of tall, closely packed cells. They possess cellular extensions ,such as microvilli in the small intestine, or the cilia in the female reproductive tract.
