Plesiadapiforms
are organisms that may have been the first primates. This group of primates underwent an adaptive radiation which enable them to produce forms with very distinctive features including weird, multi-cusped incisors and a variety of very sepcialized lower premolars.
The first record of plesiadapiforms appeared just as the non-avian dinosaurs were about to be extinct 65 million years ago, near the inception of the Paleocene age. Some of these primates persisted well into the epoch of Eocene with the last of its species extincting around 37 million years ago.
Answer AND Explanation:
Light provides the energy required to drive the process of photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis increases as light intensities increase. At high light intensities, much of the light is penetrates through the leaf and is absorbed by the chloroplasts.
Genes are a set of instructions that determine what the organism is like, its appearance, how it survives, and how it behaves in its environment.
Explanation:
The planet Mars has two moons. Phobos and Delmos (i) phobos has period `7` hours, `39` minutes and an orbital radius of `9.4 xx 10^(3) km`. Calculate the mass of Mars. (ii) Assume that Earth and mars move in a circular orbit around the sun, with the martian orbit being `1.52` times the orbital radius of the Earth. What is the length of the martian year in days? `(G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2))`
