The right answer is option a (Buckminster fullerene).

Fullerene is one of the crystalline allotrope of carbon, which was discovered in 1985 collectively by the scientists Richard E. Smalley, Robert F. Curl, Sean O' Brien, James Heath and Harold Kroto. The name 'buckminsterfullerene' was given to the fullerene molecule discovered as a homage to the American architect and scientist Buckminster Fuller.

The domain that includes organisms with true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles is called *

Hunter-Best [27]

Eukarya. Eukaryotes are the only organisms that have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, though some bacteria have a pseudo-nuclei.
The reason why only eukaryotes have true nuclei and membrane-bound organelles is because only eukaryotes have figured out how to create so much energy through the mitochondria, which is required for high compartmentalization.

What are some examples of index fossils

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Ammonites, , Brachiopod, Grapolithina, Trilobites and Nanofossils are examples of index fossils

Explanation:

Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era (245 to 65 mya), but were not found after the Cretaceous period. They went extinct during the K-T extinction (65 mya)

Brachiopods which are mollusk-like marine animals appeared during the Cambrian (540 to 500 mya). Some types of them still survive

Grapolithina which are widespread colonial marine hemichordates that also lived during the Cambrian period.

Nanofossils are microscopic fossils which are remains of calcareous nannoplankton, coccolithophores from various eras

Trilobites were common during the Paleozoic Era (540 to 245 mya); about half of the Paleozoic fossils are Trilobites. Trilobites evolved at the beginning of the Paleozoic Era and went extinct somewhere in the late Permian period which was 248 million years ago

Which of these statements is not true with regard to the process of evolution?

yan [13]

The correct answer is C. It is a sudden change that causes species to become extinct.

This answer is not correct because evolution occurs over a long period of time, as evidenced by the theories that describe its timeline (including gradualism and punctuated equilibrium). Additionally, evolution does not always involve the extinction of a species, but it can.

Hope this helps!
