1. Explain why the distribution of fossils in Figure 1 supports the hypothesis that the extinction of these species was the result of a sudden environmental change.
This hypothesis can be supported because all the fossils accumulate almost at the same age of the rock layer. That is, all the fossils died almost at the same time.
2. Describe an environmental change that could have produced this type of fossil distribution.
Good examples of sudden environmental changes are volcanoes. When a rash occurs, the whole environment suddenly changes for different reasons such as ash or lava, and all living things can die immediately or in a few years by the change in the ecosystem.
3. Explain why the distribution of fossils in Figure 2 supports the hypothesis that the extinction of these species was the result of a gradual environmental change.
This is because the fossils accumulate at different ages of the rock layer, that means, the species dying over time. The gradual descent of the fossils is observed.
4. Describe an environmental change that could produce this type of fossil distribution.
For example, if a climate change occurs - the temperature increases or decreases - it can cause the trees or plants to die and all the animals in the ecosystem also die when they have no food. But this process is sequential, so the change can take years, centuries or even millions of years.
I hope this can help you.
A: Population
If a group of one certain species are living in the same area they are a population. The same goes for humans, we are the same species and when we live in the same area we say we are part of a population. That’s why you would hear things like “the population of massachusetts is 2million” or whatever it is.
Answer:
The cell membrane, therefore, has two functions: first, to be a barrier keeping the constituents of the cell in and unwanted substances out and, second, to be a gate allowing transport into the cell of essential nutrients and movement from the cell of waste products.
Explanation:
Answer:
Substitution
Explanation:
Mutations can simply be defined as change in the structure of a gene. Mutation can be of different types. These include, but not limited to:
- Insertion: This involves the insertion of extra base pairs into a DNA
- Deletion: Loss of DNA section
- Substitution: When a nucleotide base gets substituted with another base.
<em>Substitution of a base can lead to coding of different amino acid and hence, protein. It can also lead to coding of the same amino acid, otherwise known as silent mutation. Base substitution can also lead to the amino-acid-coding codon becoming a stop codon, leading to an incomplete protein.</em>
The correct answer is substitution.
Complete question:
In bird dogs, barking while trailing (B) is dominant to silent while trailing (b). A heterozygous barking trailer is bred to a silent female trailer. Various offspring resulted.
