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.

The transverse plane also known as axial plane or horizontal plane divides the body into 2 parts namely the superior or the head part and the inferior or the tail part.If the body would be divided in 2 sections with each containing a heart and both lungs it is called a transverse plane.

Sex-linked traits are more common in
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

X-Chromosomes.

Explanation:

Characters determined by a gene located on only the X-chromosome are said to be sex-linked. Such traits show a different pattern of inheritance in males and females. For example, a recessive allele on the X-chromosome

• would be masked in a female if the corresponding allele on the other X-chromosome is dominant;

• would always be expressed in a male because the Y-chromosome does not have a corresponding(active) allele.

Thus, the female may posses a homozygous or heterozygous allelic pair for a sex-linked character, but a male will only have one allele for it.
