Answer:

Hutton's Unconformity

At Siccar Point, during the lower Silurian Llandovery epoch around 435 million years ago, thin beds of fine-grained mudstone were laid down gradually deep in the Iapetus Ocean, alternating with thicker layers of hard greywacke formed when torrents swept unsorted sandstone down the continental slope. Siccar Point is a rocky promontory in the county of Berwickshire on the east coast of Scotland. It is famous in the history of geology for Hutton's Unconformity found in 1788, which James Hutton regarded as conclusive proof of his uniformitarian theory of geological development.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

mRNA (messanger ribonucleic acid) is produced through the process called transcription in the nucleus. Transcription make ribonucleic acid from deoxyribonucleic acid. The enzyme RNA polymerase creates an RNA molecule that is complementary to the template DNA coping all the information on the DNA into the mRNA formed and 3' to 5' cap are added to stabilize the RNA after which this mRNA then moves from the nucleus where it was produced to the ribosome in the cytoplasm for translation of the information that is coded in the bases.

FGF5 is a gene that is encoded in the DNA.
