<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

<u>index fossil:</u>   are commonly found, widely distributed fossils that are limited in time span. Index fossils also known as guide fossils or indicator fossils are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods . Index fossils must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends. Index fossils used as guide fossils, indicator fossils or zone fossils , fossils  areused to define and identify geologic periods (or faunal stages).

<u>Examples of index fossils include:</u> Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era (245 to 65 mya), They were not found after the Cretaceous period, as they went extinct during the K-T extinction (65 mya).

<u>Paradoxides:</u> is a characteristic Middle Cambrian trilobite(fossil of marine arthropode) of the 'Atlantic' (Avalonian) fauna.Avalonian rocks were deposited near a small continent called Avalonia in the Paleozoic Iapetus Ocean. Avalonian beds are now in a narrow strip along the East Coast of North America, and in Europe.

Paradoxides is a genus of  very large trilobites found throughout the world during the Mid Cambrian period. One specimen of Paradoxides davidis is 37 cm (15 in). It has a semicircular head, free cheeks each ending with a long, narrow, recurved spine, and sickle-shaped eyes, providing almost 360° view, but only in the horizontal plane. Its elongated trunk was composed of 19-21 segments and was adorned with longish, recurved lateral spines. Its pygidium(caudal shield) was comparatively small.

Tall height is dominant to short height in pea plants. You have a tall pea plant that you cross with a short pea plant. What is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The tall parent was heterozygous

Explanation:

If tall height is dominant to short height the only genotype possible for short height is hh, while there are two possible genotypes for tall height, Hh and HH. When HH is crossed with hh all the offspring are Hh, but if Hh is crossed with hh, a quarter of the offspring is HH, a quarter is hh and half is Hh. If the tall pea plants were HH there would only be tall offspring, but because there are some short offspring we know that the tall pea plants must have a genotype of Hh.

The potato crop devastation occurred in Ireland for not using one single potato species.

Explanation:

Potato became the staple crop of 18th Century Ireland and was easy to grow in the soil of this place.  Later, it became the most dependent crop of the people of Ireland which made its supply very demanding leading to the yielding of more than one species of potatoes.

This yielding reduced the variety in the genetics of potatoes that helped in preventing the disease that affect potatoes by making the Irish people susceptible to famine. The Phytopthora bacteria affected the potatoes of North America in the year 1840 and Ireland’s moist weather in that same year made the blight to thrive.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

c. lobes  

Explanation:

Brain lobes are divisions of the cerebral hemispheres, designated by the names of the surrounding cranial bones and covering them. The frontal lobe is located in the forehead region; the occipital lobe in the nape region; the parietal lobe in the upper central part of the head; and the temporal lobes in the lateral regions of the head above the ears.

Parietal, temporal and occipital lobes are involved in producing the perceptions resulting from what our sensory organs detect in the outer environment and the information they provide about the position and relationship to outer objects of different parts of our body.
