Estimates of current rates of extinction indicate that rates may be greater than extinction rates seen in the fossil records.
<h3>What is extinction of species?</h3>
Extinction of species refers to the event in which species of organisms are entirely wiped from existence either by man-made causes, natural disasters or disease.
The recent industrial age and many technological advancements by man has resulted in rapid extinction of species .
Estimates of current rates of extinction indicate that rates may be greater than extinction rates seen in the fossil records.

The only trait that I know that those birds and a squirrel have in common in that they both love birdseed.
A CONSUMER gains its energy by eating something else.
The graph that is represented is a line graph.
A) DNA fulfils all three conditions:
<span>(1) copy itself precisely - in the process of replication, DNA copies itself and two molecules of DNA are formed. This process is very precise thanks to the great number of proteins involved in these process that prevents error occurring and proteins that can fix the error if it occurs.
(2) be stable but able to be changed - DNA is very stable molecule otherwise, it cannot be a genetic material. However, its chains can separate in a short length so the translational machinery can attach to it and the process of transcription can occur. Also, in crossing over, during meiosis, </span>the exchange of genetic material occurs and chromosomes change a bit.<span>
(3) be complex enough to determine the organism’s phenotype - it contains a number of genes responsible for different traits. All of this results in the </span>organism’s phenotype.
B) DNA copies itself. <span>Meselson and Stahl conducted the experiments on DNA replication in which they used </span>E. coli<span> bacteria as a model system. After they labelled all bacteria's DNA with heavy 15N by using medium with heavy 15N, they switched bacteria to medium with light 14N. After several generations, all bacteria's DNA was labelled with light 14N. This experiment evidenced that the self-replication of DNA is semi-conservative process.</span>
