The limitations of using fossil in evolution theory are that fossils are rare and only show changes in bones of animals. In many environments the preservation of fossils is hard creating gaps in fossil records that can make identifying change very hard. And when changes present themselves they can be in many forms, such as changing in the soft tissue, coverage and thickness of hair, and changes in organs, all of which can not be preserved by fossilization.

I’m not sure what kind of answer you need but I hope this is sufficient. Hope this helps. Stay healthy and stay safe! :)

Explanation:

Characteristics of tolerance to heat, light and parasite are the three reasons that might use a higher percentage of Nguni on the sector of livestock farmers in South Africa in 2003. The temperature of South Africa is extremely high which can be tolerated by the Nguni cattle due to its good characteristics. The Nguni cattle can bear extreme temperature, high intensity of light and resistance to parasites make it best suited for that environment.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B high levels of lactose and high levels of cyclic AMP.

Explanation:

Lac operon contain 3 regulatory genes and 3 structural genes.In presence of lactose the repressor molecule that is encoded by Lac I gene cannot bound to the operator region.

Bacause the lactose interact with the repressor and change its conformation so that it cannot repress the expression of the structural genes of lac operon.

On the other hand cyclic AMP is a positive regulator of lac operon .The interaction of cyclic AMP with the promoter region of lac operon stimulates the binding of RNA polymerase in the promoter region to boost the expression of structural genes of lac operon such as Lac Z,Lac Y and Lac A.
