What flowering plants evolved during the Cretaceous period

2 answers:

Archaefructusliaoningensis is an angiosperm. It is the oldest fossil that helps in explaining the presence of this flowering plant during the cretaceous period.

Further Explanation:

The last and the longest part of the Mesozoic era is the cretaceous period. It lies between the minor extinction period andthe Jurassic period to the cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.

The important hallmark of this period was the radiation and development of flowering plants. The flowering plant found in that period was angiosperm. It is determined by the oldest fossil that has been found to date is angiosperm such as Archaefructusliaoningensis. It is discovered by the Ge Sunand David Dilcher of china. It has a similar appearance as a black pepper plant. It also helps in explaining that the insect that helps in pollination such as wasps and bees was also evolved at the same time. The scientist says that the pollination from insects was established after the first flower.

How would you determine if a bond if polar or nonpolar?

Anika [276]

The greater the electronegativity difference, the moreionic the bond is. Bonds that are partly ionic are calledpolar covalent bonds. Nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal

Some plant species release chemicals into the soil that end up killing nearby plants. This is an example of what?

Ymorist [56]

The answer is competition. Because it wants the other plants to move so it can have all of the space to grow.

How is the small ribosomal unit positioned to allow for translation to start at the proper start codon

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Shine Dalgarno sequence".

Explanation:

A consensus originally characterized throughout the mRNAs to Escherichia coli seems to be the Shine-Dalgarno chain.
Proteins manufactured through sequences comprising unique sequences became generated more gradually or slowly than similar proteins encoded of separate but interchangeable codons from genes, researchers observed.

Amoeba sisters video recap: Genetic Drift

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Genetic drift is simply a change in the frequency of alleles in a population.

Like shown in the comic A, there are different genes present on chromosomes. All of these genes are made up of a pair of alleles. These alleles determine the genotype and the resulting phenotype of an organism.

If none of the alleles is favored by the environment, then a population will have equal no.of all the variant forms of a trait. Like shown in the comic B, both the green and the grey animals are favored equally.

But if natural selection occurs and one form of the allele variant is favored, then a genetic drift will occur. Most of the organisms will have the alleles which are favored by the environment. Like shown in Comic C, where the grey alleles are favored more than the green alleles.
