What were paleocene organisms that may have been the first primates?

1 answer:

6 0

Plesiadapiforms are organisms that may have been the first primates. This group of primates underwent an adaptive radiation which enable them to produce forms with very distinctive features including weird, multi-cusped incisors and a variety of very sepcialized lower premolars.

The first record of plesiadapiforms appeared just as the non-avian dinosaurs were about to be extinct 65 million years ago, near the inception of the Paleocene age. Some of these primates persisted well into the epoch of Eocene with the last of its species extincting around 37 million years ago.

If one year was one foot, how long would the Cretaceous be (65 million) in miles?

Harman [31]

If one year was a foot then 65 million years will be 65 million feet. 1 mile=5280 feet so.

65 million divided by 5280= 12310.6

So your answer would be 12,310 miles.

What is the significance of a recombinant plasmid?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

recombinant DNA

A strand of DNA formed by splicing DNA from 2 different organisms is called recombinant DNA

Explanation:

Using the techniques of recombinant DNA technology, certain enzymes known as restriction enzymes capable of cleaving double stranded DNA in the plasmid of bacteria genomes (other organisms like eukaryotes can also be used) are used to obtain specific sequences of DNA bearing desirable traits in the both organisms.

Once the two DNA fragments have been obtained, another enzyme known as DNA ligase is used to seal the point of splicing, thereby constructing a single DNA from the two organisms.

This single DNA is known as Recombinant DNA

Distinguishing between Rotation

Naily [24]

Answer:

For example, put a table in the middle of your room and spin around while going in a circle around the table going round the table is revolution spinning around by yourself without going around something is rotation.

It means that the world isn't based off you. :) Hope this helped.

Is there any type of ecological relationship between wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale? If not, explain why not. If so,

Cerrena [4.2K]

The Prey-Predator relationship is the type of ecological relationship between wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale.

<h3>What do you mean by Ecological relationship?</h3>

The Ecological relationship may be defined as the interaction between the members of one species with respect to the members of the other in response to food, shelter, and space.

Moose are herbivores and the prey of wolfs. It is clearly seen in the graph that when the population of wolves increases, the number of moose decreases. It states that wolfs feed on moose.

Therefore, the Prey-Predator relationship is the type of ecological relationship between wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale.
