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

Which observation would be the best evidence for a recent founder event or population bottleneck?
Bingel [31]
The best evidence of such phenomena could be a population's genetic variation decrease.
When a population bottleneck occur it means that for some reason (i.e. environmental events) the size of a population is largely reduced. This leads to reduction of the genetic variation in that new smaller population. When a bottleneck occur, the founder effect is normally seen, which is that one population is established by a small group of a previously larger population leading once again the genetic variation, now though with a bigger population, to be very reduced.
