This given statement, as a result of the Ordovician Mass Extinction, that many reef-building organisms went extinct, but reefs recovered in only a few hundred thousand years is false.

<h3>What happened in the Ordovician mass extinction?</h3>

The Ordovician-Silurian extinction, which occurred 443 million years ago, resulted in the destruction of 85% of all species on Earth. The many marine species living in warm, shallow coastal waters were severely harmed, most likely as a result of global cooling and declining sea levels. There were many different types of animals affected by this extinction, including brachiopods, corals, trilobites, echinoderms, and mollusks. Species that were unique to the eastern United States were particularly vulnerable.

The Late Ordovician glacier, which quickly extended over Gondwana at the beginning of the Hirnantian and changed the Earth's temperature from a greenhouse to an icehouse, is widely blamed for this extinction pulse.

EleoNora [17]
<h2>look at the Y chromosome is the strategy  </h2>

Explanation:

  • Finally, it is possible that front line individuals do pass on at any rate one mtDNA heredity that Neanderthals added to our genome, in any case, that we have not yet sequenced that family line in either modern individuals or in Neanderthals. Any of these explanations could underlie the nonappearance of Neanderthal mtDNA in modern human population.
  • Because the y chromosome inherited by paternally and mitrochondrial DNA identify the case of maternity, or parents where it helps to the person for confirmation of genome and the child parents.
  • look at the Y chromosome because it is paternally inherited is the correct answer.

What is the difference between micro- and macroevolution?
lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answer is C. Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms in populations, while macroevolution describes the evolution of species over long periods of time.

Explanation:

In biology, the evolution refers to changes organisms and species go through over time which is usually prompted by changes in the environment and adaptative processes. Additionally, evolution can be studied from two main perspectives: microevolution and macroevolution. Microevolution focuses on studying the changes at a lower lever usually by studying individual organisms or population, but not all organisms of a species. On the other hand, macroevolution studies the evolution or changes in species or even a group of species. For example in a microevolution biologist might study birds evolution by analyzing individuals or a specific population, while from macroevolution all the species need to be studied.

Answer the following considering Chargaff's rules. Suppose a 100-base-pair, double-stranded DNA molecule consists of 50% of guan
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

250 H bonds

Explanation:

The Chargaff rule states that a  DNA molecule has the following features-

1. Purine binds pyrimidines through hydrogen bond

2. The sum of purine and pyrimidine is equal to 1.

3. Adenine binds thymine always (involve two H bonds)

4. Guanine binds cytosine (involves three H bonds)

In the given question,

guanine bases- 50, therefore, cytosine bases will be 50  

H bond will be 50 x 3 = 150 bonds

Similarly,  

Adenine bases will be 50 equal thymine which will also be 50

double H bond will be - 50 x 2= 100  

Total H bond will be- 250 H bonds.

Thus, 250 H bonds are the correct answer.
