A lot of the organisms that have existed on earth have left no fossils because of the incredibly specific set of requirements for a fossil to form. First, it must settle into sedimentary rock, instead of being roasted to nothing else but carbon fragments from the formation of igneous rock, or be crushed and burned from the formation of metamorphic rock. Then, the conditions of the surrounding environment must be just right: high sedimentation rates, low soil acidity, lots of minerals and anoxic conditions are best. Also, the organism must have bones or some kind of material that can easily mineralize into a fossil.
An outlier would have been the organisms from the Cambrian period, which were fossilized at a high rate despite being mostly millimeter to centimeter long soft-bodied organisms. We have recently found out that this is due to the thick algal mats at the bottom of the Cambrian oceans. You can actually go see the Cambrian fossils at the Burgess Shale.

Stacey wants to know if plants have the same phototrophic reaction from artificial light as they do from natural light. Using st
joja [24]

Scientific method includes some steps that are necessary for conducting the successful experiment.

1. Make an observation

You observe the growth of the plant under the influence of light (phototropic effect) and you notice that some plants successfully grow under artificial light. You want to compare that growth with growth under the sunlight.

2. Ask a question

How does the light influence plant growth?

Are the wavelengths of the light important?

Is natural light source (sun) better for plant growth...

3. Form a  hypothesis - it is a testable potential answer to the question

For example: Sunlight induces higher phototropic reaction.

4. Make a prediction

Sunlight is richer in red and blue hues which are both extremely important to plant growth.  

5. Test the prediction

Design an experiment by putting one pot with beans outside on sunlight and other under the light bulb. Other conditions such as water must be the same. Monitor their growth for about 2 weeks and measure the results.

6. Analyze the data and make a conclusion.

20. Describe the parts of a nucleotide.
alexgriva [62]

A nucleotide is an organic molecule that is the building block of DNA and RNA. ... A nucleotide is made up of three parts: a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. RNA contains uracil, instead of thymine.

Hopefully this helped! :D

Please help!! Punnett squares (biology)
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer/Explanation:

For the woman to be blood type B, she must either have 2 B alleles (homozygous, BB) or 1 B allele (heterozygous, BO). We can draw two punnett squares to show each of the potential outcomes when she has children with an AB man.

The two punnett squares are attached. In order to have a child that is type A, she needs to be heterozygous, BO. Even then, there was only a 25% chance that their child would have type A blood. If she were homozygous BB, it would be impossible for her to have a type A child with an AB man.

What is the first intermediate compound in the Krebs cycle
Sidana [21]

Answer:

pyruvate

Explanation:

Pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, is  converted to acetyl-CoA, the starting material  for the citric acid cycle, by the pyruvate  dehydrogenase complex. Acetyl-CoA donates its acetyl group  to the four-carbon compound oxaloacetate to form the  six-carbon citrate.
