Era is used to mark the boundaries of geological time scale by using radio carbon dating technique.
Explanation:
Geological time starts with Precambrian time.
Geologically, time is divided between the Precambrian era and present time into era.
The three eras are Paleozoic era, Triassic period and Cenozoic era.
Era is further divided into periods.
Scientists use radio carbon dating to study fossils and rock formation. With this study they were able to divide them in exact geological scale.
Geologic scale is the record of events in earth's history and evolution.
Answer:
Mitosis involves the division of body cells, while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. ... Two daughter cells are produced after mitosis and cytoplasmic division, while four daughter cells are produced after meiosis. Daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid, while those resulting from meiosis are haploid
Answer:
All options are correct
Explanation:
Fossils are the remains of organisms (animals and plants) preserved in a rock. Scientists (geologists & palaebiologists) have used fossils to study the diversity of organisms in the past. This is based on their preserved morphological features. For example, several species of foraminifera has been identified in the rocks. Among them, some species are present today whereas others have become extinct.
Similarly, fossils are the indicators of past climate (e.g. temperature) as well. This means, if a specific species can survive at a particular temperature, its presence suggest that particular environment. For example, corals survive in tropical waters at specific depth and sunlight. So, if we find corals fossils, the cliamte of that particular age would be roughly the similar.
In the end, fossils can also provide evidence of orogeny (mountain building) process. These are typically plants fossils which cannot move and their remains are preserved in the folding rocks.
Answer:
Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
