The appearance of banded iron layers in the rock record between 1.08 and 3.8 billion years ago reflect the alteration of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor conditions in the ocean at that time is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The banded iron formation of the rock is directly related with the atmospheric oxygen content of that time. The thorough study by the scientists revealed an interesting result. The study showed that about 3 billion years ago, in Canada, there were no oxygen in atmosphere or ocean as well.

This resulted in the increase of the photosynthesizing organisms. The chemicals released from the organisms reacted to the iron of the ocean to deposit iron oxide layer on rocks to form these layers.

5. Describe: How did Earth's oceans form?
UNO [17]

The earth began as a cloud of dust and hot, shining gas. When our planet began to cool, its surface solidified, surrounded by clouds of water vapour. When this vapour condensed (changed into liquid) and began to fall like rain, seas, and oceans formed in the hollows of the Earth’s surface. Oceans are huge expanses of water which separate the Earth’s continents. The largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean, second, the Atlantic and third largest, the Indian Ocean. Seas are smaller expanses of water, almost always flowing either into oceans or other sea. The waters of the seas and the oceans are always salty, because they are rich in mineral salts and especially sodium chloride, which is the salt used in cooking.

What is the primary difference between diffusion and osmosis
nata0808 [166]

Long answer here!

In diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration until equilibrium is reached. In osmosis, a semipermeable membrane is present, so only the solvent molecules are free to move to equalize concentration.

A balanced polymorphism (maintenance of multiple genotypes) exists through disruptive selection in seedcracker finches from Came
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "directional selection".

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of natural selection at which traits with extreme characteristics are selected over traits with medium characteristics. In this case,  a long-term climatic change resulted in all seeds that are the fountain of food for finch becoming hard. This will result in a directional selection on bill size in the finch population, where large-billed birds will be selected over small and medium-billed birds.
