Which of the three things provide evidence that South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia were once together as one super

continent? Select the three correct answers. Glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock from an ice sheet match in distant regions. Icy glaciers covered South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia as one supercontinent over the North Pole. Mountain chains match up where South America collided with Australia to form Pangaea. Fossils of marsupials were originally the same across South America and Australia. Vast deposits of coal formed in regions with ancient deserts. Cratons match across the edges of continents.

Answer:

- Glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock from an ice sheet match in distant regions

- Fossils of marsupials were originally the same across South America and Australia

- Cratons match across the edges of continents

Explanation:

South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia were all once part of one super-continent. This super-continent has been named Gondwanaland. As the geological processes got more intensive though and Gondwanaland separated into smaller land masses, continents, which we now know as the continents on the Southern Hemisphere. There are numerous clues that confirm that these continents were once connected. Some of the clues are the matching cratons on the edges of the continents, the glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock are also matching, lot of fossilized flora and fauna from the same species have been found in several of these continents, the marsupials in South America and Australia  etc.

Answer:

Options (1), (4) and (6)

Explanation:

The continents namely South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia were together earlier forming a supercontinent. It has been proved by providing various evidence. Some of the pieces of evidence are as follows-

1) The edges of these continents perfectly fit with one another, suggesting that they were joined together in the past.

2) The presence of marsupial fossils in all these continents also made a significant contribution to this. Marsupials are the high order mammals that once existed in these continents and have undergone evolution and are still present today as kangaroos, wallabies and many more.

3) The glacial deposits that are formed by the scratching of bedrocks are also found in many of these continents and all show similar characteristics suggesting that they were once combined together.

Thus, the correct answers are options (1), (4) and (6).

Answer: ° Pop Beads represent two pair of homologous sister chromatids.

° In terms of number and kinds of chromosomes, Chromosomes number will be the same, Also Similarity of genetic information will be the same.

°Interphase

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telephase

° In terms of number and kinds of chromosomes; resulting cells will resemble only half of the chromosome. Also, there will not be exact correspondence in similarity of genetic information as their parents.

° Haploid Cells (n) are cells that contains a single set of chromosomes e.g sex cells (egg or sperm cell)

Diploid cells (2n) are cells that contains two set of homologous chromosomes. A vivid example of these are the somatic cells.

° Chromosomes are replicated only once in meiosis.

° Chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles in meiosis only twice.

° Crossing Over also known as genetic recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic materials between two homologous chromosomes non sister chromatids which pair up to form recombinant chromosomes.

Explanation:

Since we have questions with multiple attachments, repetition of words will be avoided and those that need explanation will be our focus.

1° When we hear Pop Beads, it's pertinent to think biologically that Pop Beads are used in tracking chromosomal DNA movements in Cell Division.

Thus, Pop Beads represent extensions of homologous Sister Chromatids

2° Let's recall : that both diploid and haploid cells can undergo mitosis. Mitosis is a division of a cell nucleus in which the genome is copied and separated into two identical halves. Hence, in terms of numbers and kinds of chromosomes; if (for example) a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, the resulting cells will be two identical diploid cells i.e (2n = 2n).

Therefore, chromosomal number and genetic information will be the same.

4° In meiosis, cell division occurs that reduces the chromosomes number by half, giving rise to four haploid cells, each genetically different from their original (parent) cells.

Hence, in terms of numbers and kind of chromosomes, the resulting cells will produce half of the chromosomes. Also, genetic information will differ from their original cells.

6° If we look at what Chromosomal replication is, we'll realize that: it's a biological process of producing two identical replicas of chromosomes from one original chromosomal molecule.

In meiosis, chromosomal replication occur "ONCE" . But there are two rounds of cell division. (Meiosis 1) where exchange of genetic information of takes place and (Mieosis 11) where daughter cells divides and splits up into sister chromatids to form haploid gametes.

7° Like we said earlier, Chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles in meiosis only "TWICE".

The first occurs at (ANAPHASE 1), when a pair of chromosomes are pulled apart by meiotic spindle, which in turns pulls one chromosome to one pole of the cell and the other chromosomes to the opposite pole.

In (meiosis 11), Chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles at (ANAPHASE 11); when daughter cells line up along the equator and centrioles are now at opposite pole creating avenue for meiotic spindle fibre to attach to each sister chromatids at ends of each poles.

Gomez found the masses of three rocks for science project .the first rock had a mess of 19.28 grams, the second rock had a mass
ziro4ka [17]
The combined mass of rock 1 and 2 = 19.28 + 25.3
= 44.58

Difference between rock 3 and combined rocks 
= 46.3 - 44.58
= 1.72 grams

therefore, the third rock was 1.72 grams greater than the combined mass of the other two rocks.
