Answer:

<u>C) The area changed from water to land with trees</u>.

Explanation:

  • As the area was once filled with water as suggested by the shale rocks and has the deposits of limestone and hence the imprints of the leaves on the rocks were formed at the time when the fossils like fish were found to be swimming in the lake or seas.
  • Thus the development of the area took place and water dried up form the lake or get seashore and thus sedimentary rocks had the imprints of the fossils on them.

Like all forms of life on Earth, all microbial cells perform three major types of activities: __________.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

4. metabolism, growth, and evolution

Explanation:

Living organisms show different characteristics like respiration, movement, metabolism, growth, evolution, respiration, excretion, nutrition. Most of the microbes are microscopic and unicellular which means they are made up of only one cell but they are also living.

They perform three major types of activities like metabolism, growth, and evolution. This can be seen by culturing bacteria on suitable media. So in the medium, it can be observed that they consume the food present in media and extract energy from it through metabolic activities and are showing growth. All micro-organisms evolve due to mutation. So the correct answer is 4.

What three types of evidence allows us to determine whether organisms shared a common ancestor?
Anika [276]

The evidence of common ancestry is based on study of three   parameters;   fossils record, homologies of various organisms, and study of biogeography. Fossils record   determines the similarity and differences of bones as well as shells of different organisms   over a given period of time.   On the other hand, studying of homologies involves assessment of mitochondrial DNA and other proteins with an aim of finding similarity from one organism to another.  Finally, Biogeography is the assessment of how continental drift might have separated organisms which had got common ancestry and they were living together.

What is a reproductive strategy
Bumek [7]
A reproductive strategy presents an approach of a type of an organism to reproduction and of taking care of it's offspring.  

Generaly speaking, there are two main reproductive strategies, K and R reproductive strategies.

The organisms that apply the R strategy produce a great number of small, independent offspring and when the offspring is born or hatched it's left to
try to survive on its own. This strategy is used by bacteria, many invertebrates, and reptiles.

On the other hand, the K strategy organisms produce a small number of offspring that they care of for a significant amount of time after they are born. This strategy is used mostly by mammals and birds.

Which environmental change would most likely result in bullfrog offspring that are able to store more water than bullfrogs in pr
IgorC [24]
There environmental change would only have to occur when their is a sudden change in the amount of water, which would be a larger amount of water because that’s the only reason the bullfrog would need to store more water to help this species survive. This is called structural adaptation, structural adaptations are the physical features of an organism to help survive the new environment.
