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.

A pea plant with round seeds has the genotype rr. if you cross this plant with a wrinkled-seed plant, genotype rr, what is the p

Lapatulllka [165]

I think you wrote this wrong? Is it not round rr vs wrinkled RR?? I'll answer it with that assumption:

You are crossing a rr with an RR:
You only get Rr back so they will phenotypically be all wrinkled

If you are crossing rr with an Rr (so a heterozygote wrinkled):
50% will be Rr (wrinkled)
50% will be rr (round)

Evaluate the image below and discuss the information portrayed in Graph A, B and C

nataly862011 [7]

In A and B we see the number of phenotypes that can be found, in a case of polygenic inheritance, depends on the number of allele pairs involved

<h3>Genetic distance</h3>

The knowledge of the genetic distance between genotypes of a population of interest is important for a breeding program, as it allows the organization of germplasm and a more efficient sampling of genotypes.

<h3>Gaussian</h3>

The normal distribution is a very useful model in statistics, and it would not come as a surprise as the sum of independent effects (or not very correlated effects) should, if there were many of them, normally distribute (always subject to certain assumptions).

With this information we can conclude that in graph <u>A</u> we see a higher frequency of medium-sized individuals, showing zygosity, and in <u>B</u>, <u>heterozygosity</u>.

How do muscles move blood through the circulatory system

Andreyy89

Skeletal muscles play a key role in the movement of blood around the body. Veins embedded within a muscle are compressed during contraction of that muscle, causing an increase in blood pressure due to the presence of one-way valves within the veins.

Explain why the formation of abscission layer causes sugar to accumulate in leaves.

kramer

Abscission layer is the layer of cutinized parenchyma cells that develops in the abscission zone. The abscission zone form across the base of the plant part, where the break eventually occurs. During the photosyntesis chlorophyll using sunlight produces sugar and storches which are used as food by plant. And sugar accumulate in leaves.

When a boxer is hit in the head by a moving fist, what type pf concussion injury does this,?

mr Goodwill [35]

There is a transient electro-physiologic dysfunction of the reticular activating system in the upper midbrain caused by rotation of the cerebral hemispheres on the fixed brainstem. -The CSF cushions the brain from light trauma in times of more severe impact, the forces on the brain may be linear, angular, or rotational, in rotational movement, the head turns around its center of gravity: this is the primary mechanism causing concussion.
