<span>Stabilizing selection is at work in this case. This is the force that allows a population to gradually center on a mean value due to a presence of a non-extreme bodily trait. The more extreme examples of the trait lead to the organisms being selected out, and the trait that is the least conspicuous wins out in the long-run.</span>
Fossils can be classified by their morphology (how they look), ethologically (how they acted), and toponomically (where they are in the substrate layers) to produce phylogenetic trees. However, more recent advances in genetic technology allow us to extract DNA from more recent fossils that have not had too much breakdown of the DNA, and we can much more accurately classify species from that information, and also provide much more accurate phylogenetic analysis.
Answer:
Crust, mantle, core, lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core.
Explanation:
subdivide the Earth based on rheology, we see the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core. However, if we differentiate the layers based on chemical variations, we lump the layers into crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core
Answer:
They have uncoiled to form long, thin strands.
Explanation:
Chromosomes are present in cell nucleus and consist of chromatin. Genes are present in linear order on chromosomes. The chromosomes become visible under the microscope as distinct structures during cell division. When cells are not dividing, the chromosomes decondense to loose their individuality and make the mass of chromatin.
Chromatin is complex of DNA and packing proteins. As the cells enter the prophase stage of cell division, condensation of chromatin occurs and individual chromosomes become visible under microscope. Before that (during interphase), chromosomes are not visible as they are present in decondensed form.
