For many years, scientists believed that almost all animal lineages burst into being during the Cambrian era (just after the end

of the Precambrian super eon). However, there have been many recent findings of animal-like fossils and "trace fossils" (fossils of an animal-like organism's movement) from the late Precambrian. Which of the following best explains why it took so long to realize there was animal-like life in the Precambrian?
A) Animals from the late Precambrian had soft bodies.
B) There were many hard-shelled animals in the Cambrian.
C) The global climate was such that there was poor fossilization in the Precambrian.
D) There were very few animals during this period.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The Precambrian represents the time period, right from the beginning of the earth to about 540 million years back. It is divided into 3 parts, namely the Hadean, the Archean and the Proterozoic. Throughout this geological time, vast changes have taken place on earth. The first life forms of about 3.8 billion years old, that existed on earth were the simple unicellular organisms, whose traces were only found at some particular places. These organisms were very small and are comprised of soft bodies, so they were affected by the earth's dynamic processes. The organisms in order to get fossilized must contain hard parts. Due to the presence of soft bodies, the organisms were not fossilized and so it took a long time to demarcate that the late Precambrian organisms were animal-like life.

hence, the correct answer is option (A).

The muscle cells divide through Mitosis, a cellular division comprised of several other substeps. 

The final step of the cell division is the cytokinesis by which two new cells are formed from cell with a multiple number of nucleus after the replication process. This steps follow the telophase.

Continental drift states that continents moved ____ to their current location
Ahat [919]
<h3>Slowly</h3>

Wegener proposed the hypothesis of continental drift, which suggested that continents are in constant motion on the surface of Earth. Over time Pangaea began breaking apart, and the continents slowly moved to their present positions.

<h3>What is Continental Drift ?</h3>

The theory of continental drift is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener.

  • Wegener's continental drift theory introduced the idea of moving continents to geoscience. He proposed that Earth (opens in new tab) must have once been a single supercontinent before breaking up to form several different continents.

  • The four pieces of evidence for the continental drift include continents fitting together like a puzzle, scattering ancient fossils, rocks, mountain ranges, and the old climatic zones' locations.
