The correct answer is: Layer 1, layer 2, and layer 4 in all three regions.

The index fossils are fossils that are commonly used for identifying a geological period of time, and these fossils are also very wide spread, as well as having a rapid evolutionary trends.

By this picture, we can easily see that even though we have rock strata from different regions, the same layers contain the same fossil, and it is a fossil that also is rapidly evolving so has a minor change in each layer.

A recent study of the marine hawksbill turtle's stomach contents revealed that sponges constitute a major portion of their diet.

Answer:

These structures that protect the sponges from most predators, but not turtles, are spicules.

Explanation:

Sponges skeleton is composed of calcium carbonate and siliceous micro-structures called spicules. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.

There are different kinds of spicules:

- Monoaxonic spicule: needle-shaped, straights or curves

- Tetraxonic spicules: they have four prolongations

- Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules

- Poliaxonic spicules

Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:

- Megaspicules: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton

- Microspicules: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions

Sponges have few predators thank to the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.

The restriction endonuclease ecori cleaves the dna sequence 5'-gaattc-3' in such a way as to leave a 5' overhang, which is often

qaws [65]

The restriction endonuclease EcoRI cleaves the DNA sequence 5'-GAATTC-3' in such a way as to leave a 5' overhang, which is often referred to as a "sticky end". To 5' overhang with the complementary sequence this sticky end adhere.

The palindrome EcoRI restriction site breaks DNA after G and creates sticky ends with AATT. G/corresponding AATTC's DNA sequence is CTTAA/G, where "/" designates the location of the peptide bond break.

When the ssDNA sequence 5'-GAATTC'-3 is recognised by the restriction endonuclease EcoRI, a single-strand cut is made between the G and A nucleotides.

At the ultimate end of double-stranded DNA, an overhang is single-stranded DNA. This can occur on either strand, and if it does, there will either be a 5' overhang on the 5' end of the strand or a 3' overhang on the 3' end of the strand.
