Scientists working in the fields of both genetics and archaeology have made discoveries that help us understand the origin of maize. Which statement(s) best reflect the way(s) each discipline's work support evidence generated by the other?
Select all that apply.
a. Geneticists used DNA data to determine how long ago maize was domesticated. Archaeologists then verified the conclusion by dating maize microfossils.
b. Archaeologists first determined where maize was first domesticated. From there, geneticists calculated how long ago that was.
c. Genetics data pinpointed the likely location of the earliest maize domestication, which allowed archaeologists to find fossil evidence of early maize in caves.
d. Geneticists used archaeological data to identify how many genes controlled the changes from teosinte to maize.
