Answer:

D. all of the above

Explanation:

Australopithecus (first ape-man): Australopithecus is considered as the connecting link between apes and man as they shared the characteristics of both. The fossil records shows that they appeared around 5 million years ago. <em>Australopithecus africanus</em> was about 1.5 meters high and had human as well as ape like features. It was with bipedal locomotion, omnivorous in their diet and had erect posture. It had human like teeth with small canines and large chewing teeth. The brain was more like an ape with the brain capacity of about 500 cc similar to that of an ape. He lived in caves, had projected  brow ridges with no chin. Its believed that <em>Australopithecus africanus</em> gave rise to <em>Homo habilis</em> about 2 million years ago.

The earliest species of Homo genus is <em>Homo habilis</em>. They were skill full man also called as handy man or the tool maker. He had erect posture with bipedal locomotion. The teeth were like modern man. He was skilled and made tools with stones. Slowly with evolution the prognathous face changed to orthognathous in cro magnon (<em>Homo sapiens fossilis</em>).

Blended inheritance assumed traits:
Tasya [4]

Answer:

O Were diluted over time

Explanation:

Blending inheritance is an outdated theory about inheritance that is no longer accepted.

The theory is that offspring inherit any characteristics as the average of the parents. For example, if a father had black hair and a mother had blonde hair, the child would have brown hair.

We now know, thanks to Mendel's work on inheritance, that the inheritance of characteristics are not so simple!

Which phrase describes the relative age of a rock?
finlep [7]

Answer:

Uses the law of superposition to determine which rock is older or younger.

Explanation:

Relative age refers to the age of the rock when compared to other rocks. The law of superposition was developed by Nicholas Steno. In this process, you determine which rock layer is older or younger in terms of the sequence they were laid out or layers were formed. This law states that the lower the layer, the older the rock layer is as compared to those on top of it.
