The appearance of banded iron layers in the rock record between 1.08 and 3.8 billion years ago reflect the alteration of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor conditions in the ocean at that time is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Banded rocks have layers of iron oxide and cherts that contain silica. The layer containing iron oxide has a dark color and the chert layer is red in color. Haematite and magnetite are usually the iron oxides that make up the banded rocks.

Banded rocks were formed by the reaction of iron in the oceans with the oxygen produces by photosynthetic bacteria in the ocean. The reaction caused the formation of iron oxides and their precipitation as Banded iron formations.

The presence of free oxygen is crucial for the formation of banded rocks and the formation reduced drastically after 1800 mya period when  atmospheric oxygen availability was reduced.  Banded rocks represent the oxygen rich and oxygen-poor condition of the ocean at that time.

Explanation:

Since there is no difference in [solute] there will be no osmotic flow of water, but water will still move between the two chambers because the membrane is freely permeable to water.

Which plants are likely to be infertile or to have reduced fertility? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Species with a
Lemur [1.5K]

D. Species with an odd number of chromosome sets (triploid and pentaploid) would be infertile.  

E. Aneuploid individuals (monosomic and trisomic) would have reduced fertility.

Explanation - Chromosomes generally happens to occur in the set of two. Organism that have more than two sets of chromosome are called polyploids. Polyploids that have odd or uneven count of sets of chromosome are sterile or fully infertile.

Example - triploid (3n), pentaploid (5n) because their gametes and offsprings are aneuploid. Aneuploidy is addition of entire chromosome to the already existing normal set of chromosome. Aneuploids are unable to produce viable offspring because their fertility got decreased as the zygote formed after the fertilization itself is aneuploid.

What would happen if you flew into jupiter?
aleksley [76]
A major problem in sending space probes to Jupiter is that the planet has no solid surface on which to land, as there is a smooth transition between the planet's atmosphere and its fluid interior. Any probes descending into the atmosphere are eventually crushed by the immense pressures within Jupiter
