Is the current rate of species loss 10 times the typical rate of extinction?

Biology
1 answer:
Anika [276]4 years ago

The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.

Part E Your molecular clock model resembles another branching chart, the phylogenetic chart, which you’ve used in this unit. Rev
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The phylogenetic graph uses several types of variables to be formed, while other models use only one type of variable.

Explanation:

To create a phylogenetic chart, matrices with data on the studied species are used. These data are composed of morphological, chemical and / or genetic information that allow a detailed investigation about the ancestry of each species, in addition to allowing the correct grouping based on this ancestry and evolution.

A phylogenetic graph is different from other molecular models due to the number of data considered by it, since other models, such as the molecular clock, for example, only consider genetic based information.
