Answer:

Permafrost, amber and tar

Explanation:

Fossils are the remains of prehistoric plants or animals embedded and preserved in rocks. They are preserved by three main methods: unaltered soft or hard parts, altered hard parts, and trace fossil.

Soft-tissue original remains are very rare except as captured in amber, trapped in tar, dried out or frozen in permafrost.

Amber is ancient tree sap that can trap flowers, worms, insects as well as small amphibians and mammals and preserve them whole.

Permafrost is an area of land that is permanently frozen below the surface. It is common in Siberia (part of Russia) and in Alaska. Many different kinds of frozen extinct as well extant animals have been found in Siberian permafrost, including woolly mammoths, horses and bison, and lions.

Tar or asphalt is a liquid found naturally in small pits in swamps. These pits are formed from crude oil seeping through the ground. The lighter elements of crude oil evaporate leaving thick sticky asphalt. Animals that fall into these pits hardly escape and their bodies are preserved within. Fossils of animals such as wolves, short-faced bears, American lions, ground sloth and saber-toothed cat have been found preserved intact in tar.

However, these advancements that other people are talking about will not probably last for very long since much resources were used to exploit and overuse the natural resources we currently have. The question of what about the future populace who are significantly viable to live under this planet, 100 years from now? Isn't that claim sort of egotistical?
Exploitations lead to different global ecological changes like the occupation of the invasive species which can threaten an ecosystem and the biodiversity of the organism that exist in the present environment when the invasive species increase rapidly in number.
Exotic species are a threat to biodiversity because they alter the ecosystem of that area. They share food and habitat resulting in unbalanced ecosystem.

Explain why an mRNA transcribed from the template strand of the SIRT3 gene in normal stomach ( NS ) cells is translated to produ

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

The double-stranded DNA molecule has the potential to store genetic information in either strand, although in most organisms only one strand is used to encode any particular gene.

The template strand is the non-coding strand. The coding strand of DNA is the non-template (mRNA-like) strand (see attachment).

Thus, genetic information is expressed by transcription of the non-coding (template) strand of DNA, which produces an mRNA molecule that has the same sequence as the coding strand of DNA. Therefore, if a mRNA is transcribed from the non-template strand, the genetic information will not be contained in that strand and it would not produce a correct protein.
