Hello! The largest mass extinction in Earth's history occurred about 250 million years ago, right before the dinosaurs appeared. Devonian Period ended about 355 million years ago, which was before the mass extinction occurred. Therefore, C is eliminated. The Cambrian Period came before Devonian Period, ending around 485 million years ago, which also eliminates A. Ordovician Period ended about 445 million years ago, which also before the mass extinction. B is gone, which leaves us to the last available answer choice being D. The Permian Period ended around 250 million years ago, which was the time of the mass extinction. The largest mass extinction even occurred at the end of the Permian period. The answer is D: Permian.

Unique sequences of bases makes up a nucleotide. These nucleotide sequencing are used by DNA as a genetic code of information that determines type of cells, proteins and the whole organismal structure.

There are four nucleotide bases, Adenine and guanine termed purines are big, cytosine and thymine called pyrimidines are small. A purine pairs with a pyrimidine, such that adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine. The bases are the same but each DNA uniqueness lies in the sequence of base pairing.

What determines the viscosity of magma? What else determines whether a volcano will erupt violently or calmly 
mr Goodwill [35]

The viscosity of magma is determined by its silica content. Basalt magma, on the one hand, which is often of low viscosity, has a low silica content of approximately 50% or less. Rhyolite magma, on the other hand, has high viscosity due to the high silica content of approximately 70% and more.

Gas content and temperatures of the magma are the other factors that determine an explosive or nonexplosive eruption. High temperatures and high gas content (coupled with high viscosity) cause violent explosions.
