Please help . - How do scientist explain the incomplete fossil record? A) The fossil record is limited to fossilized animals and

the absence of fossilized plants.
B) Stasis occurs when the structure of a species in the fossil record does not change over a long period of time.
C) Not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.
Eliminate
D) The adaptive radiation of mammals helps explain a rapid increase in mammal diversity of the fossil record after a mass extinction.

Answer:

Option C.

Scientist explain the incomplete fossil record because not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.

Explanation:

  • Fossils are the remains of organisms that are found on the rocks after they die.
  • So, no one can be 100% sure about the complete fossil record because of the continuous process like erosion and other natural calamities.
  • The sediment must cover any organism's remains to start the fossilization process to start. Most of the organisms start decomposing  before this process can be executed.

How do stabilizing and disruptive selection differ? see section 23.3 (page 463) . view available hint(s) how do stabilizing and
Contact [7]
The correct answer is stabilizing selection reduces the amount of variation in a trait. disruptive selection increases the amount of variation in a trait.

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases because natural selection favours an average phenotype and selects against extreme variations.
<span>
Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which extreme values for a trait are favoured over intermediate values, thus it increases genetic variance.</span>

Which of the following is not common to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division?
julsineya [31]

The correct answer is: A checkpoint will be activated if the spindle does not attach to a kinetochore.

Prokaryotes, do not undergo mitosis (like eukaryotes) and therefore have no need for a mitotic spindle. Prokaryotes also don’ t have checkpoints foor the regulation of cell division.

Normal eukaryotic cells (unlike cancer cells), move through the cell cycle in a regulated way in order to make sure that cells don't divide under conditions that are unfavorable for them. Information about their own internal state (nutrients, signal molecules, DNA integrity) is signal to go or not to go through the cell division. Because of that there are few checkpoints in the cell cycle at which the cell examines the signals and makes a “decision”. The major checkpoints are:

• The G1- the first point at which it must choose, once it passes the G1 checkpoint the cell enters S phase

• The G2-the cell checks DNA integrity and checks if replication is done well.

• The spindle checkpoint-at the transition from metaphase to anaphase.

cestrela7 [59]
Temperature, sunlight and water are all examples of the abiotic components of the ecosystem.

The ecosystem is the interaction and dynamic interdependent exchange of the biotic and abiotic factors of the environment. The biotic factors are the life or living organisms that live in the said environment. While the abiotic factors are those for example, soil, water, wind, air, minerals and etc
