The history of primate evolution is filled with the evolution of new species but also countless extinctions. While factors in ea

ch case are different, certain main factors continuously contributed to the extinction of various primates. Identify the main factors that may have led to the extinction of primates at various points in time.

Answer:

Mass extinctions have occurred throughout the planet's history and in many of them primate species also have been extinct. Climate change was the cause of some of these extinctions. For instance, between the end of the Eocene and the beginning of the Oligocene global climate became drastically colder and drier, resulting in a decrease in the food supply and in the consequent extinction of several species of adapid and omohyoid primates from America, South Europe and Asia. Extinctions due to climate change can be triggered by both catastrophic global events and the planet's natural climate dynamics.

Non-climate related environmental events also occurred throughout the evolutionary process, affecting primate populations and species and eventually causing their extinction. Changes in geographic space can lead to interaction between different species and populations and consequently competition for resources, excessive predation or pathogen transmission (a phenomenon called “Background extinction”), and all these factors also contributed to the disappearance of some primate species. This type of extinction includes those most recently caused by human action.

Question- What would happen if earthquake waves were to interact with layers of the Earth?


Answer- Ok this is what really happens. As you may know there are seven tectonic plates on earth. Deep in the layers of earth energy is being build up to create a movement for thease plates. When the plates move it causes earthquakes but the thing is it depends were you are. If youre far from the movement you will get a small earthquake a small earthquake meaning you wouldnt even feel it, but on the other hand if your right by the movement you will get effected. Take calafornia as an example do you wonder why there are so many earthquakes happenening it because calafornia is right on the action! Calafornia is located right at the rigget place of the tectonic plate were the movement is big!

eduard

Answer:

Anthocyanin is not produced in the plant cells

Explanation:

Anthocyanin is not produced in plant cells with the genotype mm.

As you can see from the question above, anthocyanin is responsible for the purple color of the flowers. Anthocyanin is encoded by the M gene, which is a dominant gene. Because it is a dominant gene, we know that it will be expressed in plants with the Mm and MM genotype, but will not be encoded by plants with the mm genotype. With this we can conclude that plants that have the mm genotype do not have purple color, because anthocyanin is not produced in the plant cells of these plants, since they do not have the M gene.
