If a fossil is encased in a stratum of sedimentary rock without any strata of igneous rock (e.g., lava, volcanic ash) nearby, then it should be

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. easy to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the radioisotopes in the sediments will not have been ʺresetʺ by the heat of the igneous rocks.

  2. easy to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the igneous rocks will not have physically obstructed the deposition of sediment of a single age next to the fossil.

  3. difficult to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because the ʺmarker fossilsʺ common to igneous rock will be absent.

  4. difficult to determine the absolute age of the fossil, because radiometric dating of sedimentary rock is less accurate than that of igneous rock.

Nod factors are recognized by the Nod factor receptor (NFR) in legumes, Upon binding to Nod factors, the NFR heterodimer initiates two main separate processes mediated by SYMRK such as;

a) A signaling pathway that facilitates the infection process itself

b) Activation of the symbiosis receptor-like kinase (SYMRK)

c) Activating an extracellular domain that includes a leucine rich repeat (LRR) region and an intracellular protein kinase domain

d) The activation of a set of genes that regulate the formation of root nodules
