Which example describes life in the mesozoic era

The web page (below) provides: Mesozoic ("Middle Life") Era
This is the second of three geologic eras squeezed into the Phanerozoic ("Evident Life") Eon that covers the last 10% of Earth's whole geologic history. This is the era we all think of when we imagine the Ancient Earth! Rampaging dinosaurs! Dive-bombing pterodactyls! Endless forests of giant ferns! Erupting Volcanoes! (Sorry, no cave men! They didn't show up until the end of the Cenozoic.)

The Mesozoic Era lasted about 180 million years, from about 245 million years ago to about 65 million years ago. The Mesozoic is divided into just three time periods: the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Since lots of things were going on in each time period, we can only summarize the events. You can learn more by going to your library or searching the Internet for words like "Mesozoic" or the names of each of the periods.

In the view above, we see Earth in the middle of the Jurassic Period, in mid-Mesozoic times (sort of a middle-middle view). The supercontinents Gondwanaland and Laurasia collided some time back to form a single super-super continent called Pangea ("All-Earth"). But plate tectonics continues its irresistible motions, and even as we look, Pangea is beginning to break up into the continents we know now. At upper left, North America is just breaking away from the northwest coast of Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico are beginning to form. The Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States are a high, rugged mountain range, something like the Rocky Mountains of today. Over the next fifty million years or so, South America, India, and Antarctica will all break away from Africa and move toward their present positions.

Life is diversifying rapidly, and beginning to look familiar. The dominant animals on both land and sea are reptiles, the most famous of which are the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs began in the Triassic, spread during the Jurassic, and dominated Earth in the Cretaceous. They are so prominent that the Mesozoic is also called "The Age of Reptiles." But dinosaurs are not the only life form around: birds and mammals also appear during the Mesozoic, as well as deciduous trees and flowering plants.

The climate during the Mesozoic is warm; so warm that there are no ice caps at all, even at the poles! Plants grow like crazy in the warmth and moisture, so there is food everywhere for your average hungry 50-ton Ultrasaurus! So what happened to this Dino Paradise? More change! A mass extinction like those in the Paleozoic ended the idyllic Mesozoic Era (if you can call dodging your friendly local T-Rex as idyllic). More than half of all existing life forms disappeared, including virtually all of the dinosaurs. Why? There are many hypotheses, including disease, volcanic eruptions, and giant impacts.

seems based on text above, most correct is "A" definitely not "C"

Conteste los siguientes enunciados, registrando (F) si es falso y (V) si es verdadero. 1. ( ) Una mujer portadora de hemofilia,
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1. Verdadero

2. Falso

3. Falso  

4. Falso

5. Verdadero

Explanation:

Los seres humanos, como así también la mayoría de los mamíferos, poseen dos cromosomas sexuales: un cromosoma X y un cromosoma Y. Las hembras poseen 2 cromosomas X (un cromosoma X es heredado de la madre y el otro cromosoma X es heredado del padre); mientras que los hombres tienen un cromosoma X y un cromosoma Y (el cromosoma X es heredado de la madre, mientras que el cromosoma Y es heredado del padre). La hemofilia es una enfermedad recesiva monogénica ligada al cromosoma X, la cual está caracterizada por cuadros hemorrágicos causados por el déficit parcial y/o total de factores de coagulación. Los hombres expresan el fenotipo recesivo con mayor frecuencia que las mujeres para aquellos genes que se encuentran en el cromosoma X y poseen un mecanismo de herencia recesivo, esto debido a que los hombres sólo poseen una copia del alelo ligado al X (lo que hace que el alelo recesivo se exprese con mayor frecuencia en el fenotipo). De este modo, los hombres manifiestan hemofilia con mayor frecuencia que las mujeres porque en mujeres el gen recesivo necesita la presencia de dos copias del alelo defectuoso recesivo para que se exprese en el fenotipo hemofílico (es decir, las mujeres heterocigotas son portadoras de un alelo defectuoso pero no expresan la condición en el fenotipo), mientras que en los hombres la presencia de un sólo alelo defectuoso localizado en su único cromosoma X es suficiente para la expresión del fenotipo recesivo. En hombres, los genes ligados al cromosoma X son siempre heredados de la madre (los hombres heredan del padre el cromosoma Y). Finalmente, la herencia de caracteres ligados al cromosoma Y es muy rara porque los genes localizados en la región diferencial del cromosoma Y son escasos y estos genes solamente pueden ser trasmitidos de padres a hijos varones (ya que se encuentran en el cromosoma Y).

Since humans reproduce then grow and our population grows, does our planet Earth gain mass little by little?
zheka24 [161]
Yes, it does, but not the way people think. it doesn't gain it from the weight of all the people. the earth takes mass from elsewhere, as our population continues to grow.
