Earth had essentially no atmosphere when it originated 4.6 billion years ago from a heated mixture of gases and minerals. The ground had melted on it.
An atmosphere developed when Earth cooled, primarily from gases released by volcanoes. It contained methane, hydrogen sulfide, and ten to 200 times as much carbon dioxide as the atmosphere we are surrounded by today. The Earth's surface began to cool and solidify after roughly 500 million years, allowing water to accumulate there. Although life on Earth continued to develop and diversify, such periods of expansion and development were halted by mass extinctions, in which many of the planet's major life forms were either entirely or partially wiped out and many others were freshly established. Such catastrophic extinction episodes are attributed to asteroids impacts, climate change, volcanic eruptions, etc. Dinosaurs were also wiped out in one such event. The largest problem the Earth is currently experiencing is climate change brought on by human activity. Although human activities may exterminate some species from the world, the planet will undoubtedly recover and return to its natural balance as it has for millions of years. However, the sun will ultimately wipe out Earth, as predicted by scientists. The Sun will lose its structural integrity and enlarge in volume as it ages and eventually runs out of the fuel that keeps it going—hydrogen—which will cause it to burn everything in its path, including life on Earth. In the end, the Sun would perish, leaving the Solar System permanently in the dark.

"Anterior" means "to the front". A horse's head is anterior to the rest of its body. Contrariwise, "posterior" means "to the back", like a horse's tail.
Hope that helped! =)
Answer:
Option-C
Explanation:
Hamilton gave the mathematical expression for the altruistic behaviour or trait in a population which suggested that the alleles for altruistic behaviour will be favoured by the natural selection if BR-C > 0.
The mathematical expression for the altruistic trait is rb> c
where r - relatedness, b- the benefit to recipient and itself also and c-cost to an actor.
In the given question, all the cases meet the condition of Hamilton's rule except one which is the In- law bee-eaters which raise the young near to the nest as the parents who can raise the young ones are not benefited personally from the action of the young as the young one treat them as non-kin. This does not fulfill the condition of the Hamiltons rule.
Thus, Option-C is correct.
Answer:
c. Fungi
d. Yeast
Explanation:
Both fungi and yeast will be effectively removed by a 0.22 micron pore size filter.
<em>The size of microscopic fungi ranges from 2 to 10 microns while the size of yeast ranges from 3 to 4 microns in diameter. Hence, both organisms will be effectively filtered off by a 0.22 micron filter paper.</em>
The size of bacteria ranges from 0.2 to 2 microns while that of virus is in nanometer. Hence both cannot be effectively removed by a 0.22 micron pore size filter paper.
The correct options are c and d.
