<h2>The given statement is true</h2>
Explanation:
The recent finding of the fossils which showed that <em>Homo erectus</em> and <em>Homo habilis</em> lived side by side in eastern Africa for perhaps half a million years challenged the conventional way that these two species evolved one after the other(<em>H.habilis</em> 1.44 million years old and <em>H.erectus </em>1.55 million years old)
- The fossils were found in Kenya and took years to prepare the specimens for study and to be sure of the identification of the species, the scientists said
- University of Utah geologists determined the dates of the fossils from volcanic ash deposits
- The most recent <em>Homo habilis</em> that had been known was about the same age as the earliest <em>Homo erectus</em><em>,</em> said Daniel Lieberman, a professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University, “Now we have extended the duration of the habilis species, and there’s no doubt that it overlaps considerably with erectus”
- The fact that the two hominid species lived together in the same lake basin for so long and remained separate species, Meave Leakey said in a statement from Nairobi, “suggests that they had their own ecological niche, thus avoiding direct competition”
NO - Agriculture and industrial activities
FG - Industrial processes
CO - Burning fossil fuels
ME - Production of oil and natural gas
If the DNA polymerase did nothing special when a mispairing occurred between an incoming deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate and the DNA template, the wrong nucleotide would often be incorporated into the new DNA chain, producing frequent mutations. The high fidelity of DNA replication, however, depends not only on complementary base-pairing but also on several “proofreading” mechanisms that act sequentially to correct any initial mispairing that might have occurred.
