The correct answer is - False.

To trace the correlation between the rock layers by using fossils can be a big mistake, though occasionally it may provide the proper information, still it will be relying on luck.

The case is actually the other way around, the fossils can be correlated by using the rock layers, because each layer of rocks represents some time in the geologic past.

The fossils, on the other hand, are much more easy to be moved through the layers over time, because there can be disturbances, adjustments in the crust, or the rocks can change their composition under the influence of multiple factors. All of that can contribute to the fossils ending up at places where they aren't expected to be, so using them to correlate the rock layers will not be a very useful method.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the grey column , and its shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are primarily housed in the ventral or anterior horns, which innervate skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

The grey matter is a component of the central nervous system that contains neuronal and glial cells and it can be found in the brain, brainstem and spinal cord, in this last one, is found in the grey column, a mass of grey matter shaped in H form.

In this column the grey matter is divided into four columns (as you can see in the image I added):

The dorsal or posterior horn: contains somatosensorial neurons
The ventral or anterior horn: contains somatic efferent motor neurons (they exit the spinal cord to innervate skeletal muscle)
The intermediate column: contains neurons to innervate visceral organs
The lateral horn: same as the intermediate column

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Figure 1 represents a segment of DNA. Radiation can damage the nucleotides in a DNA molecule. To repair some types of damage, a

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, what is described in this question is a method of DNA damage repair mechanism. The method described is called base excision repair. Generally, glycosylases play important roles in base excision repair (as they detect and remove these damaged bases).

One thing that can be considered while identifying the bond to be broken is the codon that will be formed after the removal of base. If this codon (a three base sequence) will still produce the same protein as when a normal cytosine was present.

NOTE: During this base excision repair, a glycosylase will detect and remove the damaged cytosine. Once removed, the remaining nucleotide backbone (of the removed cytosine) is also removed and the gap is filled and sealed by other enzymes in this repair mechanism.
