What is the Marcellus Shale, and why is it so important to ancient ocean life?

Biology

Natalija [7]4 years ago
8 0

The Marcellus Shale also categorized as the Marcellus formation is a marine sedimentary rock unit of middle Devonian age found in eastern North America. It elongates throughout the major of the Appalachian Basin.  

The shale comprises huge unexploited reserves of natural gas, which makes it an attractive target for export and energy development. There are comparatively scarce presences of fossilized marine fauna found in the Marcellus, however, these fossils are still essential to paleontology.  

For example, the Marcellus comprises the primogenital known varied assemblage of thin-shelled mollusks, still possessing well-preserved shell microcomposition. It is also where goniatite, an extinct shelled swimmer identical to a squid, make their initial presence in the fossil record.

What happens when cells grow out of control?
Alexus [3.1K]
Answer: Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer develops when the body's normal control mechanism stops working. Old cells do not die and instead grow out of control, forming new, abnormal cells. These extra cells may form a mass of tissue, called a tumor.

Six fingered offspring are formed from normal parents, why?
Kruka [31]
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.

Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.

In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.

A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.

GMOs may lead to the use of different herbicides or pesticides.<br> True or False?
Dafna11 [192]

GMOs may lead to the use of different herbicides or pesticides is a true statement.

Explanation:

The GMO crops leads to growth of weeds that can resist herbicides other than for which the GMO is genetically-modified. The over-usage or over-reliance on herbicide-resistant GMO (Genetically modified organisms) crops had given way to the growth of such superweeds.

The main characteristic of these superweeds is resistance to the herbicides or the weedkillers leading to infestation of farmlands by these superweeds Hence farmers need to add different herbicides or pesticides to control the growth of superweeds.
