Answer:

(B) resemble structures formed by bacterial communities that are found today in some shallow marine bays.

Explanation:

Extant stromatolites represent real "living fossils" for they are decendents of ancient forms that are associated with one of the first living forms on earth. Particularly, stromatolites are real bacteria communities where the autotrophic organism of the community are represented by cyanobacteria, which live along with heterotrophic bacteria. This clearly indicates that fossilized stromatolites points to bacteria (prokaryotes) as the first living things on earth (dated with not less than 3.5 billion year old)

Nowadays, stromatolites with cyanobacteria allows to reconstruct and understand fossilized forms. These current structures live in shallow marines ambients (e.g. Australia) but also in continental salt flats (e.g. Argentina) where few others bacteria can survive to these extreme conditions (high light exposure and salt concentration).

Describe the events that occur during meiosis that are defined by Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment. Expla

zysi [14]

Answer:

Mendel's Laws are a set of basic rules on the inheritance of characteristics from parent organisms to their children. They are considered rules rather than laws, since they are not fulfilled in all cases. Mendel's first Law of equitable segregation establishes that during the formation of the gametes each allele of a pair is separated from the other member to determine the genetic constitution of the filial gamete, the two alleles, which code for each characteristic, are segregated during the production of gametes through meiotic cell division. This means that each gamete will contain only one allele for each gene. This allows the maternal and paternal alleles to combine in the offspring, ensuring genetic variation. For each characteristic, an organism inherits two alleles, one for each relative. This means that in somatic cells, one allele comes from the mother and one from the father.

Explanation:

Mendel's laws reflect chromosomal behavior during meiosis: the first law responds to the random migration of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles during anaphase I of meiosis (both alleles and homologous chromosomes segregate equally or 1: 1 in gametes) and the second law, to the random alignment of each pair of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis (whereby different genes and different pairs of homologous chromosomes segregate independently).Even though not all genes are inherited in the proportions described by Mendel, they are undoubtedly all inherited in the same way, that is, the alleles or different alternatives of a gene are separated in meiosis and each gamete will carry only 1 of them (2nd Mendel's Law) and in turn all genes on different pairs of chromosomes are transmitted independently. This allows the maternal and paternal alleles to combine in the offspring, ensuring genetic variation.Therefore, of each possible genotype for a two three or more genotypes it is possible to know how many gametes it will form, in what proportions and therefore predict results of crosses.
