About 300 million years ago, the seas and oceans were inhabited by tiny plants and other organisms. These organisms died and wer

e buried on the ocean floor. Over time, their bodies were covered with silt and mud that was rich in organic material, forming layers of organic matter. This matter was subjected to high temperature and pressure. In such conditions, oxygen was available in abundance. Over a period of many years, the matter decomposed and formed oil and gas. which sentence is incorrect

Answer:

The formation of petroleum takes place because of various chemical reactions, which take place to the substances that were once living. In the majority of the cases, the formation of liquid petroleum takes place from the algae and zooplankton, which get settled to the bottom of the lake or sea, and was then got buried underneath the sediments.  

The sediment makes sure that no oxygen could reach the dead and decaying organic matter, and thus, the stage gets set for the production of oil. In the majority of the cases, the organic matter goes via many modifications, which take millions of years. The sediments continue to pile over each other and enhance the pressure on the organic matter, this leads to the formation of natural gas and liquid petroleum.  

Thus, the sentence, that is, "In such conditions, oxygen was available in abundance" is the incorrect one.

During what stage does the DNA copy itself
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: Tightly wound chromosomes, composed of DNA, must unwind before replication. Cell replication splits a cell into two parts, both of which become new, fully functioning cells. Before this can happen, however, cells require a full complement of DNA for each of the new daughter cells that will form as a result of the split. Because of this, DNA makes a copy of itself in a process known as replication during interphase, a stage that occurs before cells divide.

Cell Phases: Mitosis is the process by which parent cells each divide into two identical daughter cells. However, this majority of the cell's time is spent in interphase, during which it performs normal metabolic functions necessary for the organism, such as manufacturing protein. DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase, sandwiched between the G1 and G2 phases. The cell uses checkpoint signals to ensure at the end of G1 that it is big enough to replicate and at the end of G2 to determine whether or not DNA replication has succeeded. If so, the cell can undergo mitosis, at which point DNA winds up tightly for easy transport during the process.

DNA Replication: Replication begins with DNA unwinding and unzipping, its two strands coming apart. While only one side is the “correct” code, containing the actual genetic information used to build the organism’s proteins, both can be the base for a new strand of complete DNA. The enzyme DNA polymerase matches up each base with the correlating base: adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine. When each pre-existing base has been matched to a nucleotide, which also contains the sugar and phosphate of the DNA’s backbone, the strand is complete.
