The choices are:

A) Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

B)The bodies of organisms get preserved due to the dry weather conditions in the state.

C)The bodies of the organisms were preserved as lava from ancient volcanoes solidified into rock.

D) The erosion caused by the flooding of the Mississippi River ensures that the bodies of the organisms are well preserved.

Answer:

The answer is letter A, Fossils are preserved in the rocks formed from the sediments deposited by rivers.

Explanation:

"Fossils" are regarded as the<em> organism's preserved remains. </em>The remains of ancient organisms are embedded into the "sedimentary rocks." These rocks are comprised of layers of sediments or organic particles that settle into the earth or ocean.

In the situation above, the remains or fossils of whales and other organisms were embedded or deposited into the sediments in the river beds. This explains why their fossils were found in the southern parts of Mississippi.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Topoisomerase is an enzyme helps in over winding Or underwinding of DNA during replication. Helps in the topological correction. So non-functional topoisomerase leads to tangled DNA and prevents replication..

2. Primases are the enzymes helps in the synthesis of short RNA sequences used as primers in replication. Non functional primase leads to no primer synthesis.  

3. DNA Polymerase is an enzyme helps in the addition of new nucleotide to the growing strand in replication. Non functional DNA polymerase prevents the strand growing as no new nucleotides were added.  

4. Helicases are the enzymes helps in the separation of double strands into single and helps in each strand to be copied. Non functional helicase leads to prevention of unwinding of strands and replication inhibition.  

5. ligase is an enzyme that joins nicks(small gaps) in the DNA strand by creating ester bond. Non functional ligase leads to unjointed gaps of lagging strand.  

6. Single strand binding proteins(SSB's) are the small proteins that binds to the single strands of DNA and holds them in a place not to get together while replicating. Non functional SSB's leads to parental strands come back together and prevents replication.
