Explanation:

The Holocene extinction, otherwise referred to as the sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is an ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (with the more recent time sometimes called Anthropocene) as a result of human activity.[3][4][5] The included extinctions span numerous families of plants[6] and animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. With widespread degradation of highly biodiverse habitats such as coral reefs and rainforests, as well as other areas, the vast majority of these extinctions are thought to be undocumented, as the species are undiscovered at the time of their extinction, or no one has yet discovered their extinction. The current rate of extinction of species is estimated at 100 to 1,000 times higher than natural background extinction rates.

Compare and contrast DNA and RNA.
Keith_Richards [23]
Due to its deoxyribose sugar, which contains one less oxygen-containing hydroxyl group, DNA is a more stable molecule than RNA, which is useful for a molecule which has the task of keeping genetic information safe. RNA, containing a ribose sugar, is more reactive than DNA and is not stable in alkaline conditions.

When describing a group of animals, you speak about an ancestral species and some but not all of its descendants. This is an exa
disa [49]

Answer:

This is an example of a <u>paraphyletic group</u>.

Explanation:

Paraphyletic groups is a group that contains only part of the descendants of a common ancestor. A group is constituted as paraphyletic when one or more holophyletic groups are subtracted from a clade (evolutionary branch). Traditional classifications are loaded with paraphyletic groups, such as invertebrates, pteridophytes, opposites. In each of these cases the group is defined by the exclusion of a smaller group within a larger one. An example is the reptiles are a paraphyletic group, since when we refer to them we are excluding mammals and birds even though they are taxa that evolutionarily descend from reptiles.

What is the genotype of the parent with orange eyes and white skin? (Note: orange eyes are recessive.) P generation is orange ey
vekshin1

The given question says that one of the parents has orange eye and white skin.

The orange skin is recessive.

After crossing the orange eye white skin parent with black eye green skin parent we get F1 generation as black eye and green skin.

This suggest that the progeny of F1 generation is heterozygote for both the trait and express dominant phenotype.

Hence, the green skin is dominant over white skin.

All progeny would have a genotype

The picture shows a possible cross between orange eye white skin parent and black eye green skin parent.
