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.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is- A) two, B) yes, the number is the same as monosaccharides.

Explanation:

There are three atoms are present in a molecule of water which includes two atoms of the hydrogen and one atom of the oxygen. The hydrogen atom is two times larger in the number of the oxygen atom in a single molecule of the water.

In monosaccharides, the ratio of the atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is 1:2:1 which means one hydrogen atom would be twice in the number of the carbon and oxygen atoms in a single molecule of monosaccharide molecule.

Thus, the correct answer is - A) two, B) yes, the number is the same as monosaccharides.

mezya [45]
At the end of the winter they are most numerous in fresh water. they will cover surface of aquatic plants or poles and wooden borders of ponds. If you like to study them you can scrape the brown growth with a flat piece of plastic. you can also use a sponge. for the free living (plankton) species fine mesh plankton net is very useful.
