This is because elements are pure substances with only one atom. When two or more elements are combined, you get compound elements; which allows for more substances to be created.
Each chromosome has 46 in mitosis whereas meiosis has 23 pairs from each gametes (egg cells and sperm) from the parents which are called daughter cells so the answer is 23 and 23 one from the mother and the other from the father
The two are potassium and rubidium. Why? Na is an alkali metal. As you go down the metals become more reactive.
Calcium has 20 protons. Why? The atomic # is 20 (the one at the top).
It has 20 neutrons. Why? The atomic mass (the number on the bottom) is ~40, ignoring electron mass. 40- 20 protons = 20 neutrons.
It has 20 electrons.
Why? The # of protons and electrons is the same. Ions aren't on the periodic table.

Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Option A is wrong. Mammals were not the prominent species before the extinction of dinosaurs because the mammal species that lived during the dinosaurs' era were so small that they only weighed several grams and occupied small areas as their habitats.
Option C is wrong. As dinosaurs became extinct, reptiles and "birds" remained as their descendant which evolved to some of the species that we know today.
Option D is wrong. Pangea started to break up to form the geographic isolation for the diversion of many species around 175 million years ago.
So the correct answer is B. Massive extinction disrupts and changes the food chain in such a big way that it triggers a domino effect that leads to species adapting to their new environment and diversifying thus forming new species in the process.
I hope this answer helps.
