6 0

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In Prokaryotes the the rate of new mutations is much more as compared to the eukaryotes. The rate of accumulation of mutation is slow in case of  eukaryote because their generation is long as compared to prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes have short generation time and large population size which enables them to accumulate the mutation quickly.

The machinery is also not that complex when it comes to prokaryotes. Transduction, conjugation and tranposable elements. So, the changes during these processes leads to mutation in the prokaryotes and can be observed quickly due to their small generation.

Mass extinctions have occurred five times in Earth's history. The Permian and Cretaceous extinctions removed a large percentage
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

A. Species that remained after the extinction were able to radiate, new adaptations arose, and these adaptations produced the diversity seen today.  

Explanation:

When species went extinct they also left niches that could be occupied by "new" species; new places to live, places to be filled in the food web and different relationships to be formed. The wide availability of resources made organisms to radiate leading to a "new" diversity of shapes, sizes, and lifestyles.  

B. Species that have gone extinct were able to re-evolve from the ancestors that survived the extinction.  If you are extinct you are gone forever.  

C. Species that remained after the extinction were unable to speciate. Therefore, the number of species on Earth today is lower than the number of species present just before either extinction. The fossil record proves that species have changed over time and the diversity has changed over the history of Earth.

D. Species that remained after the extinction represented all of the lineages that were present before the extinction event. Therefore, extinction did not change the diversity of lineages. Again, the fossil record is evidence that lineages have changed over the history of the Earth.

Biotic factors in the environment include ???
Anon25 [30]
Biotic factors are anything in a ecosystem that is living, was living, or is going to live.

From this we can conclude that the biotic factors are remains of dead organisms and flora and fauna.
Temperature and minerals in the soil are abiotic, meaning they will never live.
