_ in your DNA are responsible for determining the traits that are expressed in an organism

b. to discover aspects of the natural world.

hopefully i .

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.

the alkaline earth metals (beryllium (be), magnesium (mg), calcium (ca), strontium (sr), barium (ba), and radium (ra)) are a group of chemical elements in the s-block of the periodic table with very similar properties: shiny. silvery-white. hopefully this ? i didn't fully understand the question

they have identical fossils of organisms that have evolved over time.

both have animal fossils preserved in them due to weathering and erosion.

they contain different fossils because life on earth has changed through time.

the fossils in them were formed on the surface of earth due to exposure to sunlight.
