Answer:

False

Explanation:

Almost all coal that is used today has its origins in the Carboniferous period. The Carboniferous period was a warm and wet one, with the majority of the land being swampy and covered with dense rainforests of ancient tree species. By the end of this period, the climate quickly changed, resulting int he collapse of the rainforests. As the trees were dying out, they were falling in the swamps, quickly being covered by the mud, so remaining largely preserved. Over time they got exposed to higher pressure and temperatures as they were getting deeper into the crust, eventually resulting in the formation of the coal.

Define population. How is a population different from a community

icang [17]

A population is all the organisms of the same species in a group, like humans. Population is different from a community in that a population is every organism of the species grouped as a whole, and a community is a certain number of organisms within the whole population. That may not make sense, but that’s as good as I can describe it.

nalin [4]

The answer is a misense mutation. In this case, the substitution of the tryosine amino acid with cysteine in the same position in the sequence does not affect the polypeptide becasue both tryosine and cysteine are polar animo acids. If the substitution in the polypeptide chain was by amino acids with different properties, it would affect the folding of the protein and change its conformation hence also affect its function.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Planaria.

Explanation:

The kingdom eukarys is divided into the different phyla including almost all the animals. The organism are classified on the basis of their level organisation, cavity and on the basis of coelom.

The cephalization is initial process for the deposition of nervous tissue in brain. The cephalization is absent in porifera and coelenterate. The planaria also known as flat worms shows the process of cephalization and this process becomes more complex in higher animals.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
