Theory #1 -Based on the discovery of a 240-million-year-old fossil archosaur, paleontologists theorize that dinosaurs split off

early from the crocodile family tree. The journal Nature describes Asilisaurus kongwe as a dog-sized, plant-eating dinosaur precursor. Asilisaurus lived during the Triassic period, when crocodile-like beasts ruled the Earth, with dinosaurs becoming dominant some 35 million years later.
Theory #2 - Almost 20 years of research on the morphology of birds and dinosaurs support a different theory: that birds may have had an ancient common ancestor with dinosaurs, but they evolved separately on their own path and after millions of years, birds also gave rise to the raptors. Small animals such as velociraptors, that have generally been thought to be dinosaurs, are more likely flightless birds according to this theory.
Compare the two theories regarding the evolution of dinosaurs and then consider the cladogram above. Although the two theories differ on the evolutionary path of dinosaurs, they agree that
A) dinosaurs, reptiles, and birds had a common ancestor.
B) dinosaurs evolved much later than birds or reptiles.
C) the branch containing dinosaurs evolved before either reptiles or birds.
D) dinosaurs should be on the same main branch as snakes, lizards and crocodiles.

At the time of the origin of LUCA which mode of nutrition was NOT being used?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

C. Photoautotrophs-oxygenic.

Explanation:

LUCA is an abbreviation of the ‘Last Universal Common Ancestor’. The LUCA was a microorganism which lived around 4 billion years ago. The evidence had shown that the LUCA was lived deep underground in hydrothermal vents. These vents were rich in iron-sulphur. It did not use air but made its food from the metal-rich environment surrounding it. It made organic compounds such as ammonia for its metabolism from elements such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
