Doss [256]2 years ago

A convincing explanation of why some lineages survived while others vanished is still lacking in the hypothesis of an asteroid impact as the cause of the end-cretaceous mass extinction.

<h3>What is an asteroid?</h3>

One of the smaller planets in the inner Solar System is an asteroid. Asteroids are metallic or rocky bodies without an atmosphere, ranging in size from 1-meter pebbles to a dwarf planet with a diameter of over 1000 km.

The majority of the one million or more known asteroids are concentrated in the main asteroid belt, which is 2 to 4 AU from the Sun and between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The three categories of asteroids that are typically recognized are C-type, M-type, and S-type.

These were given their names and are frequently associated with, respectively, carbonaceous, metallic, and silicaceous compositions. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has a diameter of over 1,000 km (600 mi), making it a dwarf planet.

What are the hydrothermal vents food chain organismis
Alexus [3.1K]
Primary producers are the original source of food in the vent ecosystem, using chemical energy to create organic molecules. All other life depends on primary producers, and they have the greatest biomass in the community.

Primary consumers get their energy directly from the primary producers by eating or living symbiotically with them.

First order carnivores prey on the primary consumers and in turn are eaten by other animals.

Top order carnivores eat other consumers and carnivores but are rarely hunted by other creatures. Because they are separated from the primary food production by several layers, top order carnivores have the smallest biomass in the food web.

Marianna [84]

Answer:The image to this question is attached.

Answer is the ovary

Explanation: the process by which egg is produced is called oogenesis. It involves the mitotic division of the primodial germ cells to from a oogonia. The oogonia becomes enveloped by follicle cells . Oogonia grows to become the primary oocyte. Each primary oocyte is diploid. It then undergoes the first meiotic division to form the secondary oogonia and a smaller polar nody. all this process of development occurs in the ovary.

After it is released from the ovary, fertilization occurs and it undergoes the second meiotic division to from a polar body and an ovum.

The primary oocyte however remains in prophase of meiosis l throughout childhood.

quizlet chromosomes are composed of: please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit ans
Anna11 [10]

Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole

There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.

These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).

The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.

In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).

So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.

Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.

Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.

To know more about "DNA Packaging", refer to the following link:
