Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The Permian period started from 286 million years to 245 million years back.

It was the last period that belongs to the Palaeozoic era. During the initial stage of this period, the continents were all combined together, forming the supercontinent called the Pangea. The Pangea at this time experienced a very extreme type of climates because of its huge landmass and towards the south, the area was under the frozen ice. This period was the boundary that separates the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic era.

Towards the end of the Permian, there occurred a global mass extinction. As a result of which, about 90% of the earth's marine species and approximately 75% of the terrestrial lives were completely wiped off from the planet.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

What are the differences between mitosis and meiosis in human cells? Pay particular attention to the types of cells, number of d

Nezavi [6.7K]

Mitosis Involves one cell division? Results in two daughter cells Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically identical Occurs in all organisms except viruses Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm) Prophase is much shorter No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase. In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Meiosis Involves two successive cell divisions Results in four daughter cells Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically different Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only Prophase I takes much longer Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator. During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Similarities Mitosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis. Meiosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!) In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis.

What characteristic of viruses distinguishes them from cells? They lack an independent metabolism. Their traits do not evolve in

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "They lack an independent metabolism"

Explanation:

Viruses are usually active/alive in a living environment and become inactive in non-living environment; these is because they rely on the metabolic activities of the invaded living environment/cell. This property is a sharp contrast to normal living cells that are able to metabolize different substances independently using several organelles.
