Answer:

c)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Explanation:

Because the paleontologist recovered only a bit of tissue  and it is very old, it is very likely that the DNA in the sample is very small and part of it is degraded. Anyway, the paleontologist must first amplify the DNA sample to obtain many identical copies of the specific region of the DNA they want to compare. the above is done through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Which of the following is important in accumulating and removing sand that result in shifting barrier islands?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

D. Longshore currents

Explanation:

Longshore currents are characterized as the sediment transport that occurs in the surf zone, due to the oblique incidence of the waves, along the beach. A current develops between the beach and the surf zone parallel to the coast, normally between 0.3 and 1 m / s. It is this process that is responsible for accumulating and removing sand that results in displacement of barrier islands.
