The change in weather pattern caused forest to become sparse and hot weather caused the reduction of apes as they had less food and difficulty in surviving the climate.

Explanation:

In Miocene epoch volcanic mountain chains were created in Central Africa which abruptly changed the local weather.

The sea-level got drop due to global cooling of that time.

This resulted in continental drift making land connection of Africa with Eurasia.

The primates started migrating through this route.

The African forest become dry causing selective pressures in primates.

The cooler climate in Eurasia caused extinction and migration of primates to Africa in late Miocene epoch.

The hot and humid climate and less woodland caused a reduction in number of apes which were replaced by modern world monkeys.

How could the flood have been responsible for the formation of fossils?
iVinArrow [24]
The Biblical flood would have caused the death of all life on earth, except for those on the arc, which would have resulted in fossils that are now found. Fossils being found in different layers of rocks could have been a result of how they settled as the waters receded.

Which chemical or chemicals inhibit the activity of dnases during dna isolation?
sergij07 [2.7K]

EDTA inhibits the activity of DNase during DNA isolation process.

DNase is an enzyme which degrades DNA using divalent metal ions like Mg^{2+} . These metal ions act as cofactor for the proper functioning of DNase.

EDTA chelates the divalent metal ions and thus does not allow DNase to access them.

Therefore in this way DNA is prevented from degradation during its isolation.
