Answer:

The correct answer is a. "exon; intron".

Explanation:

According to the article "Distributions of exons and introns in the human genome" published in the scientific journal "In silico biology", an average human gene have 8.8 exons and 7.8 introns. Regardless of having similar proportions, human exons and introns differ in their lenght. An average exon's length is about 170 bp, when the average intron's length is 5419 bp. Therefore, most of the genetic material is comprised of introns (90%), while only a small part is comprised of exons (10%).

Which two examples may be converted into fossil fuel after being buried under pressure for a long period of time
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
I would say that two products of the earth are coal and petroleum and when they are burned say in a car or a power generating facility they can be converted to fossil fuels.The burning of these fossil fuels are causing too much greenhouse gases and making the earth's temperature rise and resulting in more extreme weather so fossil fuels need to be phased out so the earth will remain inhabitable for humans.
