Answer:

65 million years

Tyrannosaurus rex, "tyrant lizard king", or T. rex for short, was a dinosaur that lived on Earth about 70 to 65 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period.T. rex is one of the largest carnivorous (meat-eating) dinosaurs ever discovered. It is also quite likely the best-known dinosaur of all.Tyrannosaurus rex was up to 13 meters (42 feet) long and 4 meters (13 feet) tall, and weighed 4 to 6 tons (8,820 lb to 13,220 lb) – longer than a bus, and as heavy as an elephant. That's as an adult. T. rex when first hatched was probably about the size of a turkey. T. rex had a forward tilt, deep jaws, huge teeth, a long tail, and tiny arms (also known as forelimbs).

T. rex's jaw alone was about 1.3 meters long and had fifty to sixty bone-crunching teeth that were up to 10 centimeters or 6 inches long. Its arms were very stubby, no longer than an average person's. They were still very strong, able to lift up to two hundred kilograms, but were not long enough to touch each other! T. rex stood on two powerful hind legs, each ending with a three-toed foot, resembling a bird's foot, only much larger.

T. rex was a very big meat-eating dinosaur, also called a carnivore. It would have been at the top of the food chain. It is known to have fed on other large dinosaurs, such as Edmontosaurus, Anatosaurus, and Triceratops, and probably could have swallowed smaller dinosaurs in a single bite.

One scientist believes that T. rex was a scavenger (an animal that eats already dead animals). He argues that it might not have been fast enough to catch prey. Other scientists believe that T. rex probably scavenged and hunted, like most living meat-eaters (such as tigers and lions). T. rex bite marks found on the bones of Edmontosaurus and Triceratops that have healed show that Tyrannosaurus did hunt at least some of the time – and also that its prey was sometimes lucky enough to escape.

One thing that T. rex did not eat was people. People didn't appear on Earth until over 60 million years later, much too late for anyone ever to be afraid of being hunted down by a T. rex.

Tyrannosaurus lived about 70 to 65 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous Period. T. rex was among the last of the big dinosaurs. Like all non-bird dinosaurs, T. rex lived in the Mesozoic era.

Tyrannosaurus is believed to have lived in forests, near rivers, and in areas that were open and full of prey. Mild seasons would have been most favorable to it. Tyrannosaurus fossils have been found in western North America and possibly Asia.

The famous fossil hunter Barnum Brown found the first Tyrannosaurus fossil in 1905. Tyrannosaurus was not the dinosaur's name until 1905, when it was given that name by Henry Fairfield Osborn. About 3,000 Tyrannosaurus fossils have been found, from pieces of teeth to nearly complete skeletons. Only one possible Tyrannosaurus footprint has been found.

The color of their skin. One thing we cannot tell from fossils is color!

Whether T. rex was feathered, scaly, or both. Some of its cousins had feathers like birds, while others had scales, so it likely had both.

Whether T. rex was just a scavenger or a scavenger and a hunter. There are very few hunting animals that will not scavenge, and very few scavengers which never hunt.

If T. rex had the ability to run.

Was it really the largest predator? In 1995, parts of a predator that seems even larger than T. rex were found in Argentina! It was called Giganotosaurus and was about 45 ft long (about a meter [yard] longer than T. rex). Since then, parts of even larger carnivorous dinosaurs, such as Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus, have been found.

HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL!

T-rex lived in the Late Cretaceous period during the Mesozoic era. Dunno if this was precisely what you were looking for, but I hope it's helpful!

What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype RR
vazorg [7]
To give a direct answer, I’d have to know what gene we were looking at. However, in a general sense, when a genotype has two capital letters, it means that it’s homozygous dominant. Take for example:

R= tall stalk
r= short stalk

The uppercase R is a dominant allele, which means if the plant has the gene with this in it (RR or Rr) then it will have that trait. If it has two lowercase letters (rr) then it will be the recessive trait.

Using this example, RR would be the tall stalk. For whatever your question is, the dominant phenotype would be the answer.

A food which has been grown without the use of some but not all synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or bio engineering could be labeled--- True

What are organic foods ?

-Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients, antibiotics, or growth hormones

When a food is labeled as organic this means that no pesticides have been used in its production?

Produce can be called organic if it's certified to have grown on soil that had no prohibited substances applied for three years prior to harvest. Prohibited substances include most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Are organic food safer?

According to USDA data, organic foods have fewer pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce. But the amounts for both types of produce are within the level for safe consumption.

What is the meaning of organic farming?

organic farming, agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops.
