Please help . - How do scientist explain the incomplete fossil record? A) The fossil record is limited to fossilized animals and

the absence of fossilized plants.
B) Stasis occurs when the structure of a species in the fossil record does not change over a long period of time.
C) Not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.
Eliminate
D) The adaptive radiation of mammals helps explain a rapid increase in mammal diversity of the fossil record after a mass extinction.

Answer:

Option C.

Scientist explain the incomplete fossil record because not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.

Explanation:

  • Fossils are the remains of organisms that are found on the rocks after they die.
  • So, no one can be 100% sure about the complete fossil record because of the continuous process like erosion and other natural calamities.
  • The sediment must cover any organism's remains to start the fossilization process to start. Most of the organisms start decomposing  before this process can be executed.

The sequence of nucleotides in a messenger RNA molecule (mRNA) is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in a a transfer RNA
ycow [4]

Answer:

D-DNA molecule

Explanation:

The process of copying the sequence of  DNA nucleotide  sequences to the mRNA is called   Transcriptions. It  is the  first stage in gene expression   for protein synthesis, and<u> it involves the unwinding of the DNA double strands  molecules  by enzyme</u><u> </u>DNA Helicase into two  free strands,(by melting the hydrogen bonds between organic  bases), a process   initiated by the binding of enzymes RNA Polymerase to  the promoter sites on the DNA  template; the alignment of the mRNA  nucleotides on the  single DNA template strands in 3'-5  direction; the formation of  hydrogen bonds between the organic bases  of the template DNA  and   that of the messenger RNA single strands,(  and phosphodiesterbonds  within RNA nucleotide ), to form DNA-RNA complex.

The copying is done in  complimentary anti parallel fashion;5'-3' prime. direction.

 The  hydrogen bonds, between the bases  DNA-RNA complexes breaks,and  the releases  the mRNA  which  exists through the nuclear pores.Thus  this <u>leads to copying of the the coded messages as seqeunce of DNA , from the DNA to the mRNA for gene expressions.</u>
