Which of the following is a true statement? a. Mammals were the prominent species just before the extinction of dinosaurs. b. Ma

ssive extinction of species results in less species diversity but is followed by an explosive diversification of certain remaining species. c. As dinosaurs became extinct, reptiles remained as their sole descendants. d. Pangaea started to break up to form geographic isolation for many species about 65 million years ago.

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Option A is wrong. Mammals were not the prominent species before the extinction of dinosaurs because the mammal species that lived during the dinosaurs' era were so small that they only weighed several grams and occupied small areas as their habitats.

Option C is wrong. As dinosaurs became extinct, reptiles and "birds" remained as their descendant which evolved to some of the species that we know today.

Option D is wrong. Pangea started to break up to form the geographic isolation for the diversion of many species around 175 million years ago.

So the correct answer is B. Massive extinction disrupts and changes the food chain in such a big way that it triggers a domino effect that leads to species adapting to their new environment and diversifying thus forming new species in the process.

I hope this answer helps.

The cell cycle of yeast cells grown in the nutrient-poor environment is approximately what percent of the cell cycle of yeast ce
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Upon nutrient limitation, budding yeast will produce daughter cells less than 20% of the mother cell size. This asymmetric division may select for growth functions that are efficient over a larger range in cell sizes, such as exponential growth. In turn, efficient growth over a large size range lessens the pressure to have precise size control.

Explanation:

In wild-type cells growing in nitrogen-rich medium, the size threshold to enter mitosis is high, and the G1/S size control is cryptic because cell division produces daughter cells with a size greater than the minimum required to initiate S phase. In these conditions, G2 is long and G1 is short. However, the cell size threshold to enter mitosis is greatly reduced when wild-type cells are shifted to medium with a poor nitrogen source, such as minimal medium with proline, isoleucine, or phenylalanine. In these conditions, wild-type cells initiate mitosis at a reduced cell size, generating two daughter cells that are smaller than the critical size threshold required to progress through G1/S
