It is a gram-negative, nonmotile, rod-shaped, coccobacillus bacteria, with no spores. It is a facultative anaerobic organism that can infect humans via the Oriental rat flea.Y. pestis was discovered in 1894 by Alexandre Yersin, a Swiss/French physician and bacteriologist from the Pasteur Institute, during an epidemic of the plague in Hong Kong. Yersin was a member of the Pasteur school of thought. Kitasato Shibasaburō, a German-trained Japanese bacteriologist who practised Koch's methodology, was also engaged at the time in finding the causative agent of the plague. However, Yersin actually linked plague with Y. pestis. named Pasteurella pestis in the past, the organism was renamed Yersinia pestis in 1944.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

D. We know more about the Cenozoic era because this the most recent time period in the history of the Earth, and we have more information available to study.

Explanation:

The Cenozoic era is the era that is by far the best studied and known by the scientists. The main reason for this is that this era is the most recent one, and it is actually the era we live in. Because it is the most recent era, the Cenozoic is abundant with lot of evidence of what has happened in it. The fossil records are very rich as the fossils didn't had that much time to totally decompose. The rock layers are much younger, so they contain much more detailed evidence of the plant life, climate, changes in the environment. The oceanic crust is also in abundance, which is not the case with the other eras as the oceanic crust is constantly suducted.
