Why is the fossil record of marine organisms MORE complete than that of organisms from terrestrial ecosystems?

Answer: Gaps in the fossil record. Because not all animals have bodies that easily fossilize, the fossil record is considered incomplete.

Explanation:

The fossil record is in fact incomplete, preserved fossils represent a biased sample, fossil discovery is not random and those found reveal only partial information about the original organisms. Nucleic acids, for example, have a very limited survival time.

Under normal conditions of fossilization, only about 15% of organisms are probably conserved. The fossil record is influenced in favor of those animals and plants with hard, mineralized shells, skeletons or cuticles, and towards those that live in marine environments.

The analysis of total microbial genomes in an environment is called _________________________and the total microbial genomes in
Levart [38]

The analysis of total microbial genomes in an environment is called metagenomics and the total microbial genomes in an environment (or the total microbial community itself) is called a microbiome.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The study that is associated with the genetic materials that are obtained directly form the sample in an environment refers to the term Meta genomics or  ecogenomics or community genomics. It can be considered as the process through which the  meta genome is produced.

The genetic material of the microbes such as  fungi, bacteria, viruses and protozoa refers to microbiome. These microbes lives inside the body of humans. The weight may range upto 5 pounds for these microbiomes. Micorbiomes are the total number of micro genomes that are present in the environment.

How do the nutrients found in plants function in plant DNA? Is the function of plant DNA similar to human DNA?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

How do the nutrients found in plants function in plant DNA?

Plants take up essential elements from the soil through their roots and from the air (mainly consisting of nitrogen and oxygen) through their leaves. Nutrient uptake in the soil is achieved by cation exchange, wherein root hairs pump hydrogen ions (H+) into the soil through proton pumps.

Is the function of plant DNA similar to human DNA?

How much DNA do plants share with humans? Over 99%? ALL animals and plants share the same DNA which is basically a code of only 4 'letters' which code for the same amino acids from which all proteins are made.
