The study pushes back the clock on the origin of Earth's water by hundreds of millions of years, to around 4.6 billion years ago, when all the worlds of the inner solar system were still forming. Scientists had suspected that our planet formed dry, with high-energy impacts creating a molten surface on the infant Earth.
Answer: 4.6 billion years.
The older the Earth's crust, the denser it is.
Collenchyma and Parenchyma because they are cellulose containing cells.

Answer:
a) The expected phenotype of the F1 plants is 100% RrBb, red kernels.
b) The expected phenotypic classes in the F2 are: 9:3:3:1
9/16 R-B-, 3/16 rrB-, 3/16 R-bb, 1/16 rrbb
Proportions 9:6:1.
9/16 Red kernel (R-B-), 6/16 Brown kernel (rrB- + R-bb), 1/16 White kernel (rrbb)
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- brown kernel: R-bb or rrB-
1º Cross) RRBB x rrbb
F1) 100% RrBb (red kernels)
2ºCross) RrBb x RrBb
Gametes) RB RB
Rb Rb
rB rB
rb rb
Punnet Square) RB Rb rB rb
RB RRBB RRBb RrBB RrBb
Rb RRBb RRbb RrBB Rrbb
rB RrBB RrBb rrBB rrBb
rb RrBb Rrbb rrBb rrbb
F2) Phenotypic classes:
<em>9/16 R-B-</em>
<em> 3/16 rrB-</em>
<em> 3/16 R-bb</em>
<em> 1/16 rrbb</em>
Phenotypic proportions:
<em>9/16 Red kernel (R-B-)</em>
<em> 6/16 Brown kernel (rrB- + R-bb)</em>
<em> 1/16 White kernel (rrbb) </em>
The species had the same fundamental niche, but the high-altitude species was occupying a perceived niche, as it was inhabiting a different ecosystem, with different adaptations, but being the same species.
<h3>Why is the perceived niche considered a subset of the fundamental niche?</h3>
Well, as we know, the perceived niche is smaller than the fundamental niche, in other words it is a specific portion of the fundamental niche, so it is considered a subset of the fundamental niche.
With this information, we can conclude that the species had the same fundamental niche, but that the high-altitude species was occupying a perceived niche, as it was inhabiting a different ecosystem, with different adaptations, but being the same species.
