The fossil record of Antarctica shows the presence of tropical plants, such as one particular species related to the present day breadfruit. Most plants cannot survive in prolonged temperatures of less than 6 degrees Celsius. Antarctica is freezing all year round and could only have supported tropical and sub tropical plants if it was once much closer to the equator.
The presence of fresh water species also suggest that the continent was closer to the equator. Antarctica is frozen solid with a thick ice sheet.....rivers would be frozen solid all year round or would be limited to water movement under glaciers that melt as a result of pressure and friction. This environment is not suitable to support large fresh water organisms.

In human pedigree if a symbol is fully filled what does it represent?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>If a symbol is fully filled in a human pedigree, it means that the individual represented by the symbol is affected by the trait whose inheritance is being illustrated by the pedigree.</em>

The human pedigree generally represents a symbolic illustration of how a particular trait is inherited across generations in a particular family. It shows the relationship between the members of a family and how the trait is passed down each generation either in a silent or expressive form.

Individuals within a human pedigree are represented with symbols and <u>those affected by the trait in question are completely shaded</u>. <u>Those carrying the trait in silent form are half-shaded while those that do not have traces of the trait at all are left completely unshaded.</u>
