Answer:
This means that the two separate rocks were once part of one piece of rock. These layers got separated most probably by continental drift as a result of tectonic plate movements. An example of such a fossil is the Mesosaurus, a freshwater crocodile-like reptile, that is found in Southern Africa and Eastern South America continents- that means they were once one land mass.
The environment in these two separate layers would most likely be different. As the layers drift apart from each other , they drift across latitudes that are determinants of climate in a region. Therefore, even the organisms in these two rock layers will evolve differently (even though they will share a common ancestor) in adaptation to respective environments – this is called allopatric speciation.

of three bases for the placement of certain amino acid in a protein chain.<span> The amino acid chain that can be produced by
the DNA base sequence of C-A-A-G-T-T-A-A-A-T-T-A-T-T-G-T-G-A would be based on
the DNA code CAA is valine, GTT is glutamine, AAA is phenylalanine, TTA is asparagine,
TTG is asparagine and TGA is threonine. </span>
