The correct answer is - extinction of one localized species.

The extinction of one, localized species has no impact of separating the geologic time, as if that was the case, there were going to be eras, periods, and epochs on every few hours, days, and months.

The geologic time is separated into the eras, periods, and epochs because of periods of major extinctions that took place all over the planet. Also, each of them is defined with its own unique flora and fauna, but also with certain geologic activities and changes in the Earth.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. Geologic time is separated into eras, periods, and epochs by each of the following except extinction of one localized species. It separate the whole rather than specific groups of species. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer to what type of arthropod appendage is comprised of a single series of segments attached end-to-end, rather than branchin

Rus_ich [418]

The uniramous type of the appendages of arthropods are comprised of a single series f segments attached end-to-end, rather than branching into two. The other type of arthropod appendages are biramous. The biramous limb branches into two, and each branch consists of a series of segments attached end-to-end.

Why are groups of small cells better than one large cell at moving material in and out?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Smaller cells, with a larger surface area to volume ratio, are more efficient for diffusing materials in and out because, as a cell grows, the volume grows faster than the surface area.

Each of the four pedigrees that follow represents a human family within which a genetic disease is segregating. Affected individ

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The following four traits are -:

Pedigree 1 - A recessive trait (autosomal recessive) is expressed by pedigree 1.
Pedigree 2- Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2.
Pedigree 3 - The inheritance of the dominant trait (autosomal dominant) is illustrated by Pedigree 3.
Pedigree 4- An X-like dominant trait is expressed by Pedigree 4.

Explanation:

Explaination of each pedigree chart-

Pedigree 1 demonstrates the recessive trait since their children have been affected by two unaffected individuals. If the characteristics were X-linked, in order to have an affected daughter, I-1 would have to be affected. $X^A$ In this, both parents are autosomal recessive trait carriers, so the child will be affected by a 1/4 (aa)
Recessive inheritance is defined by Pedigree 2. This is X-related inheritance as autosomal recessive inheritance has already been accounted for in part 1. This inference is confirmed by evidence showing that the father (I-1) is unaffected and that only the sons exhibit the characteristic in generation II, suggesting that the mother must be the carrier. The individual I-2 is a carrier for this X-linked trait. A typical Xa chromosome is attached to the unaffected father (I-1), so the chance of carrier II-5 is 1/2. Probability of an affected son = 1/2 (probability II-5 is a carrier) x 1/2 (probability II -5 contributes ( $X^A$ ) x 1/2 (probability of Y from father II-6) = 1/8. An affected daughter's likelihood is 0 because a typical $X^A$ must be contributed by II-6.
The inheritance of the dominant trait is demonstrated by Pedigree 3 because affected children still have affected parents (remember that all four diseases are rare). The trait must be autosomal dominant because it is passed down to the son by the affected father. There is a 1/2 risk that the heterozygous mother (II-5) would pass on mutant alleles to a child of either sex for an autosomal dominant feature.
Pedigree 4 is an X-linked dominant function characterized by the transmission to all of his daughters from the affected father but none of his son. On the mutant X chromosome, the father (I-1) passes on to all his daughters and none of his sons. As seen by his normal phenotype, II-6 therefore does not bear the mutation. An affected child's likelihood is 0.

In the question the pedigree chart was missing ,hence it is given below.
