The continuous, low-level extinction of species is referred to as mass extinction.

  • A widespread and quick decline in the diversity of life on Earth is known as an extinction event.
  • A sudden shift in the diversity and abundance of multicellular creatures serves as a telltale sign of such an occurrence. It happens when the rate of diversification outpaces the rate of extinction.
  • A mass extinction event occurs when a species disappears far more quickly than it is replaced.
  • This is typically understood as the loss of almost 75% of all species over a "short" period of geological time, or fewer than 2.8 million years.
  • The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, sometimes known as the day the dinosaurs died, is the most well-known of all the mass extinction events.

What can you do to play an active role in cancer prevention?
melisa1 [442]

Answer: Although humans cannot prevent all cancers, a healthy diet and weight followed by adequate exercise, sleep, and stress reduction all play a part in cancer reduction.

Cancer occurs when cells multiply uncontrollably and are not "cleaned up" by the body. We are dependent on our bodies recognizing and destroying old cells and foreign substances like toxins. When our body's fail to do this, either through stress, poor diet or being sedentary, cancer could result.

Hope this helps.

Infer why it is more difficult to make an antiviral drug that fights a virus that replicates through the lysogenic cycle than it
jekas [21]

Answer:

In the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome gets incorporated into the host genome and replicates with the host genome. In the lysogenic cycle, no proteins and enzymes of the virus are formed while in the lytic cycle protein of viral capsid form and new phages generate in the host cell.

So as the viral genome integrates into the host genome in the lysogenic cycle, therefore, it is difficult for any drug to differentially act on the viral genome. So there are great chances for drugs to target the host genome in the host cell.  

But in virus that replicates through lytic cycle drugs can selectively act on viral enzyme and proteins. Therefore it is difficult to make a drug that affects lysogenic virus.

During the process of genetic recombination, crossing over occurs between two nonsister chromatids. DNA segments are exchanged b
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

DNA segments are exchanged between two non-sister chromatids during meiosis I.

Explanation:

An exchange of chromosome segments or parts between non-sister homologous chromatids occurs which is also called crossing over. This crossing over occurs in the meiosis I that is responsible for the variation in the offspring produced. The formation of hybrid species occurs due to this exchanged of DNA segments between two non-sister chromatids.
