Answer:

Glossopteris and Lystrosaurus

Explanation:

Glossopteris is an ancient plant flora and Lystrosaurus is a fossil fauna, and both are found in many of the landmasses on earth. The Glossopteris flora appeared about 300 to 200 million years back and the Lystrosaurus appeared about 250 million years back on earth. They both existed from the time of late Permian to early Triassic age.

Both these fossils played an important role in understanding the continental drift theory or the plate tectonic theory. This evidence enabled geologists to understand how the continents have moved across the large ocean basin from one place to another and at what rate they are drifting currently. It helped in understanding how the super-continent Pangaea had broken into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, and further broken into the present location of the plates.

A hypothetical poison prevents nucleoli from carrying out their functions.
ruslelena [56]
If a hypothetical poison prevent nucleoli from carrying out their functions, the cell organele that will be affected is the RIBOSOMES.
Nucleoli of the cell is the one that is responsible for production of ribosomal sub units; it uses proteins and ribosomal RNA to do this. It then send the sub units to the interior of the cell where they are assembled.
Ribosomes make proteins in the cells. Thus, if nucleoli is affected, ribosome will not be produced and ultimately proteins will not be produced in the cells.
