Answer:

Ammonites, , Brachiopod, Grapolithina, Trilobites and Nanofossils are examples of index fossils

Explanation:

Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era (245 to 65 mya), but were not found after the Cretaceous period. They went extinct during the K-T extinction (65 mya)

Brachiopods which are mollusk-like marine animals appeared during the Cambrian (540 to 500 mya). Some types of them still survive

Grapolithina which are widespread colonial marine hemichordates that also lived during the Cambrian period.

Nanofossils are microscopic fossils which are remains of calcareous nannoplankton, coccolithophores from various eras

Trilobites were common during the Paleozoic Era (540 to 245 mya); about half of the Paleozoic fossils are Trilobites. Trilobites evolved at the beginning of the Paleozoic Era and went extinct somewhere in the late Permian period which was 248 million years ago

Which process can produce new inheritable characteristics within a multicelular species
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

<u>Mutations</u>

Explanation:

Random modifications within the genome may arise during the cycle of cell division, called mutations. These are errors which occur as copies of the DNA are produced within the cell; mutations may range from small modifications called single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale deletions and multi-gene additions.  These are transmissible across several generations, and are said to be heritable.

These mutations create variants which, within a community, become permanent, resulting in the creation of different, genetically distinct populations called species.  Mutations can even accumulate over time in a group, changing the distribution of alleles or various gene forms-this is called genetic drift.

How would a small, uncharged lipid move across the cell membrane?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.
