Answer:

spinal cord

Explanation:

Reflex actions are the involuntary action of the body in response to a signal or stimulus. The reflex action of body is controlled by spinal cord.

Reflex arc acts as a neural pathways that transmit impulse to the brain via spinal cord. Sensory neurons pass through synapse in the spinal cord which activate spinal motor neuron to act immediately without any delay.

Immediate taking off hand from hot oven is an example of reflex action, which is regulated by spinal cord.  

Hence, the correct option is spinal cord.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

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.

Why do plants produce less oxygen during the night
Naily [24]

Answer:

<em>Plants give out carbon dioxide not only at night but during the day too. It happens because of the process of respiration in which plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. As soon as the sun rises another process called photosynthesis starts, in which carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is given out</em>
