The fossil of Mesosaurus proves the hypothesis of "continental drift". This can be defined as the gradual movement of continents across earth's surface by the movement of tectonic plates. This fossil is an example of the other fossils that are found on separate continents and no where else, this suggests that the continents were once joined. The distance between South America and Africa is not less, it is physiologically not possible for Mesosaurus to swim between  two continents. This proves that once the continents were joined and as a result of continental drift they are separated.

Explain how you determined the genotype of Maria and Juanita, even though you did not test their DNA.
polet [3.4K]
The answer is a pedigree chart.

<span>Pedigree charts are used to explain the occurrence of particular genes from one generation to the next. It gives enough information about family disease history. They are used in families to find out the probability of inheriting some disease. So, if Maria and Juanita are cousins and the genotypes of other members of their family are known, the pedigree chart could predict their genotypes. Still, it is not as precisely as DNA test.</span>

What did scientists use to come up with a theory about how the universe was created?
garik1379 [7]

Answer: The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it says the universe as we know it started with a small singularity, then inflated over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today.

Because current instruments don't allow astronomers to peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory comes from mathematical formulas and models. Astronomers can, however, see the "echo" of the expansion through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background.
