A placebo is kind of a "fake" treatment but, typically the person receiving a placebo is unaware it has no medical effect on them so they believe they are feeling better. For example, a lot of anxiety meds are placebos and people don't know so their brain tricks them into thinking they are feeling less anxious. This could be used in experiments where a group believes they are affected to see how they react
Era is used to mark the boundaries of geological time scale by using radio carbon dating technique.
Explanation:
Geological time starts with Precambrian time.
Geologically, time is divided between the Precambrian era and present time into era.
The three eras are Paleozoic era, Triassic period and Cenozoic era.
Era is further divided into periods.
Scientists use radio carbon dating to study fossils and rock formation. With this study they were able to divide them in exact geological scale.
Geologic scale is the record of events in earth's history and evolution.
Crossing over occurs at the four-strand stage when two homologous chromosomes, each consisting of a pair of sister chromatids, are paired. Each crossover involves just two of the four strands and generates two recombinant strands.
