Answer:

Glossopteris and Lystrosaurus

Explanation:

Glossopteris is an ancient plant flora and Lystrosaurus is a fossil fauna, and both are found in many of the landmasses on earth. The Glossopteris flora appeared about 300 to 200 million years back and the Lystrosaurus appeared about 250 million years back on earth. They both existed from the time of late Permian to early Triassic age.

Both these fossils played an important role in understanding the continental drift theory or the plate tectonic theory. This evidence enabled geologists to understand how the continents have moved across the large ocean basin from one place to another and at what rate they are drifting currently. It helped in understanding how the super-continent Pangaea had broken into Laurasia and Gondwanaland, and further broken into the present location of the plates.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

e.)  If exposure to cowpox gives immunity to smallpox in milkmaids, then milkmaids have a natural immunity and their blood should be used to develop a smallpox vaccine.

Explanation:

  • Milkmaids who suffered from cowpox did not suffer from smallpox i.e. they were immune to the disease.
  • If milkmaids did not suffer from smallpox then there must be some element of immunity that they received once they had recovered from cowpox, this would likely be found in their blood as antibodies.

Answer:

Diversity of the community = 2.097

Explanation:

Given:

Number of pitch pines = 134

Number of douglas firs = 24

Number of red pines = 53

Find:

Diversity of the community

Computation:

Simpson's diversity index = N(N-1)/Σn(n-1)

Particular              n n(n-1)

Pitch pine         134       17822

Douglas firs       24 552

Red pine            53  2756

Total       N=211 21130

So,

D= [211(211-1)] / 21130

D = 2.097

Diversity of the community = 2.097
