They were named that way because they looked like small rooms called cells

Oxana [17]3 years ago

The word cell comes from the Latin cellula, meaning, a small room. The descriptive name for the smallest living biological structure was chosen by Robert Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when he compared the cork cells he saw through his microscope to the small rooms monks lived in.

What are the genotypes of the parents? I'm guessing it's Yy and yy, but I'm not exactly sure.

svet-max [94.6K]

Well since the capital letter is dominate and always takes power and the lower case letter is recessive doesn't take power. It would be 50%.

The answer would be Yy and yy :D

Fossils almost never contain DNA. So how can we know how closely or distantly related fossil organsims are to living organisms

Nostrana [21]

While it's true that Fossils hardly even contain DNA, they can still provide numerous clues in order to identify and verify an organism.

For example, in terms of Dinosaurs, their bones and fossils have provided enough evidence to provide an evolutionary link with modern birds.

Carbon dating is another way to find the age of a fossil which provides more information on it's surrounding habitat and the animals it interacted with.

Please help!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST !! Can you figure out the modern spreading rate of the Mid- Atlantic ridge? Use that line t

Naddik [55]

Answer:

R = 16mm/y

Explanation:

Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)

R = d/t

To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 100 cm

1cm = 10mm

1 km = 1,000,000 mm

The problem states that in 150 million years, there is a distance of 2400 km.

if 1 km ------- 1,000,000 mm

2400 km-------X = 2400,000,000 mm

If 1 million years -------1,000,000 years

150 my----X = 150,000,000 years

R = d/t

R = 2400,000,000 mm/150,000,000 y.

R = 16mm/y

If earth was like a hard-boiled egg which part of earth would the egg shell represent and why

Ymorist [56]

The egg shell would be most representative of the Earth's Mantle or "Crust", the yolk and white would represent the molten metal inside the earths core I assume.
