The species diversity of an evolutionary lineage will increase when more new member species originate than are lost to extinctio

n. In this hypothetical example, by 2 million years ago, both lineage A and lineage B have given rise to four species, and no species have become extinct (denoted by a dagger symbol). By time 0, however, lineage A contains only one species while lineage B contains eight species. Part A Consider the period from 2 million years ago to time 0. For lineage A, how many speciation and extinction events occurred from 2 million years ago to time?

Answer:

A. 2 speciation events and 5 extinctions

B. 5 speciation events and 1 extinction

Explanation:

As we can see from the diagram, there were only 2 ,aim speciation events for lineage A. The extinction events were 5 for the A lineage. Hence, as the extinction event was more rapid than the speciation event so lineage A contains only one species.

On the other hand, the diagram shows that for lineage B there were 5 speciation events and just 1 extinction event. Hence, the number of species in lineage B were more at the time zero as just one extinction had occurred.

Answer:

1.5 billion years ago

Explanation:

Protists are a collection formed up of protozoa, unicellular algae, and fungus forms. We will focus on the being part of this society: the protozoa (proto = first, zoa = beings). Protozoa are the earliest discovered collection of heterotrophic living that utilize and modify complicated meal particles into power. Although protozoans are only made up of a single cell, these organisms control to perform all the necessary responsibilities of life.  The protozoa are split into four principal associations: the ciliates, the flagellates, the heliozoans, and the amoebas.

Prokaroytic and eukarayotic cells
asambeis [7]

Answer:

A prokaryote is a cellular organism that lacks an envelope-enclosed nucleus. The word prokaryote comes from the Greek πρό and κάρυον. In the two-empire system arising from the work of Édouard Chatton, prokaryotes were classified within the empire Prokaryota.Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a nucleus and organelles, and are enclosed by a plasma membrane. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells include protozoa, fungi, plants and animals. These organisms are grouped into the biological domain Eukaryota.

Which term describes cycles of hot and cold temperatures which expand and contract rock in combination with constant wind and wa
marishachu [46]

The correct answer is option C, that is, physical weathering.  

The weathering resulting due to the influences of changing temperatures on a rock, making the rock to split apart is known as physical weathering. There are two main kinds of physical weathering, that is, exfoliation and freeze-thaw.  

Physical weathering takes place mainly in the locations, where few plants grow and little formation of soil occurs, like hot deserts and mountain regions. It takes place either via repeated freezing and melting of water or via contraction and expansion of the rocks surface layer, which is baked by the sun.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

If the magnification is higher then the visibility of cell organelles under a microscope will be greater.

Explanation:

  • It is important to note that hypotheses are based off the research question.
  • Use key words from the research question to define your hypothesis.
  • The key words in this example are "magnification", " visibility of cell organelles" and "under a microscope"
  • Also note that the hypothesis is a statement not a question
