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.

How might genotype frequencies of alleles for body size change under directional selection? see section 23.3 ( page 463) ?
Zepler [3.9K]

The directional selection is the type of natural selection, in which an extreme phenotype is  promoted due to the changes in the environment. This causes the changes in the allele frequency  and the shifting of the phenotype in a particular direction. In this condition, one of the extreme phenotypes are promoted, which result in the shifting of genotypic frequency either of the homozygous characteristics.
