What is the basis on which the subdivisions in a Geological time scale are made

Biology

Andru [333]3 years ago

 <span>The geologic time scale is divided into periods, which are then divided into epochs, which are further divided into ages. For example, the time of the dinosaurs lasted 3 periods (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), each period had 3 epochs (late, early, middle), and each age fit into one of those. Many epochs have more than 1 age associated with them. 
As for the basis for differentiating the eras, I'm not so sure. The only one I can say for sure is the end of the Cretaceous, which is when the dinosaurs suddenly became extinct due to a meteor impact. I think the divisions are based on significant, global-scale events that changed the world.

Sorry its so long but that the answer i think >:) ur welcome

Answer:

Explanation:

The genes in DNA encode protein molecules, which are the "workhorses" of the cell, carrying out all the functions necessary for life. For example, enzymes, including those that metabolize nutrients and synthesize new cellular constituents, as well as DNA polymerases and other enzymes that make copies of DNA during cell division, are all proteins.

In the simplest sense, expressing a gene means manufacturing its corresponding protein, and this multilayered process has two major steps. In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule by way of a process called transcription. During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-mRNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature mRNA (Figure 1). The resulting mRNA is a single-stranded copy of the gene, which next must be translated into a protein molecule.
