Answer:
They used relative dating to divide Earth's past in several chunks of time when similar organisms were on Earth. Later, scientists used absolute dating to determine the actual number of years ago that events happened. The geologic time scale is divided into eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
Explanation:
an organism is resistant to a chemical if it has a gene that protects it from the chemical.
The answer is B. Grassland
Answer:
A. engulfing of small photosynthetic prokaryotes by larger cell
Explanation:
The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in today's eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. In this theory, the first eukaryotic cell was probably an amoeba-like cell that got nutrients by phagocytosis and contained a nucleus that formed when a piece of the cytoplasmic membrane pinched off around the chromosomes. Some of these amoeba-like organisms ingested prokaryotic cells that then survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.
Some Evidence for this is based on the following:
1. Chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and, like bacteria, have Fts proteins at their division plane.
2. The mitochondria are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and the mitochondria of some protists have Fts homologs at their division plane.
3. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is circular, not linear.
4. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own ribosomes that have 30S and 50S subunits, not 40S and 60S.
5. Several more primitive eukaryotic microbes, such as Giardia and Trichomonas have a nuclear membrane but no mitochondria.
