Scientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the Cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike

would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and diffusion of sunlight.
Which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike?

A) Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately before the asteroid strike.
B) Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its lowest immediately after the asteroid strike.
C) Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately after the asteroid strike.
D) Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its greatest immediately after the asteroid strike.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is the problem statement and alternative hypothesis is counter of the null hypothesis.

Hence, the null hypothesis here is the rate of extinction was neither higher nor lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)

And alternate hypothesis is "the rate of extinction was either higher or lower when there were sudden climatic changes (asteroid strike)"

Hence, option C is correct

Your medical bill is 2345 your health insurance covers 70% after a 120 deductible what amount of the bill will you pay
astra-53 [7]
The solution for the problem is:
Since there is $120 deductible, you get to pay…$2345 - $120 = $2225.
But since the insurance covers 70%, so you will only pay the 30%, so it is:30% x 2255 =30/10 * 2225 == $667.50 would be the amount you will be paying.

Proteoglycans are a group of macromolecules formed from: a. proteins and glycosaminoglycans. b. proteases and glycosaminoglycans
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Proteins and polysaccharides.

Explanation:

Proteoglycans are heavily glycosylated proteins. These proteoglycans are present in the extracellular matrix of the animal cells and acts as a lubricant for the cells.

Proteoglycans are proteins that are covalently bonded with muco polysaccharidse. Proteoglycans are formed by the bonding between proteins and carbohydrates ( polysaccharides). Proteoglycans can combine with collagen to form cartilage and may affect the stability of a protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).
