Please Help!!!! Mass extinctions have occurred repeatedly during the course of Earth's history. One of these events occurred at

the end of the Cretaceous Period, during which the dinosaurs became extinct. Mammals flourished after the dinosaurs were gone. This led to a variety of genetically diverse species. Why did the mammals suddenly start diverging into different species after the dinosaurs were gone? a. Most of the predators were gone and suddenly niches were available so almost all the offspring were likely to survive and reproduce. b. Once the dinosaurs were gone, the mammals started having larger numbers of offspring in each litter to fill the empty niches. c. The mammals chose to move into the vacant niches the dinosaurs had occupied and change their body shapes to suit these new environments. d. Mammals began mutating rapidly once the dinosaurs died out and were able to create new species based on the mutations.

What is the responsibility of the body's second line of defense?
steposvetlana [31]
The second line of defense is nonspecific resistance that destroys invaders in a generalized way without targeting specific individuals: Phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues. For example macrophages are cells derived from monocytes.

Why don’t free amino acids have peptide bonds? What is a free amino acid exactly?
slega [8]

Explanation:

Free amino acid do not have a peptide bond , as the amino acid act as a monomer which multiplies and linked via peptide bond to generate protein chain .

A free amino acid have a carbonly group (- COOH ) and a -NH₂ group .

The formation of protein chain require at least two amino acids linked via peptide chain .

The role of peptide chain only comes in case of protein , because it acts as a linking species .

Hence , free amino acid does not have any peptide chain .
