Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: It is because as we move away from the Mid-Oceanic Ridge (MOR), we observe the older rocks. And along the MOR, new rocks are being generated due to instant cooling of the sea water, whereas pillow basalts only tells us about the rocks formed due to cooling of sea water but it wont differentiate either the rock is young or old.

            Thus the scientists lead into the discovery of new rocks at the MOR formed by molten materials.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C)

The mRNA is then used to generate proteins by a process called translation which occurs in the cytoplasm. Transcription occurs in the nucleus because DNA cannot leave the nucleus.

ivann1987 [24]

The information as stated is false.

<h3>What is a microscope?</h3>

A microscope is a device that could be used to view the interior of a cell. It is a device that uses light to show the interior of the cell. The magnification of the microscope is what determines how much information that you could get from it.

The first compound microscope was discovered by Robert Hooke and was used extensively in the study of cells and this is how the study of microorganisms became more elaborate.

Thus, it is false to say that viewing the shape of a bacterial or archaeal cell using a microscope gives a great deal of information about the metabolism and lifestyle of the organism.
