Index fossils delineate the epochs of geologic time. In order for an organism to be considered as an index fossil it must possess at least one of the four characteristics: it must be unique, extensive, abundant and inadequate in geologic time. Most type of organism may be considered distinctive but not widespread which tolerate them to inhabit all over the world. While some are considered abundant that they were able to be developed as the most susceptible to environmental modification and destruction. Just like the trilobites, this is known as a precise example of index fossil for the Paleozoic rocks that is inhabit in all parts of the ocean. They develop new species throughout their being, which is according to some reports, lasted 270 million years from Middle Cambrian time to the termination of the Permian Period. Because of their ability to travel, they tend to dwell in global areas. The trilobites are huge that they can be used in a study even without a microscope and they are also hard-shelled invertebrates which make them petrified effortlessly.

Why did aristotle most likely classify plants by their shape and animals by where they lived
Rama09 [41]

This is because Aristotle believed that purposive final causes guided all natural processes. He classified organism according to their traits, but there was many problems of Aristotle’s limited classification because some organisms didn’t fit the group.

For example, he put birds, bats, and flying insects in the same classification group because of their ability to fly, but today we know that they have little in common. He also distinguished animals with blood and animals without blood.

Explain the process of mitosis in a tissue culture for normal cells.
babunello [35]
Mitosis simply refers to cell division in which one cell divides and produce two new cells that are identical.

Here are the steps:
(1) Prophase
<span>(a) Early prophase when cells starts to break down some structures and build others up. It sets up the stage when the chromosome is dividing.</span><span>(b) Prometaphase, mitotic spindle begins to capture and organize the chromosomes.
</span>
(2) Metaphase
<span>The spindle has captured all the chromosomes. They lined them up at the middle of the cell making it ready for division.
</span>
(3) Anaphase
<span>The sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.
</span>
(4) Telophase
<span>The cell is nearly finished dividing, and it starts to re-establish normal internal structures as cytokinesis takes place.</span>

Conjugation is a very effective process for spreading antibiotic resistance among diverse bacterial populations such as those fo
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

B) Two different species of bacteria can share DNA, including antibiotic-resistance genes, during conjugation.

Explanation:

Conjugation is a process by which bacteria can exchange their genetic material between them. So through conjugation, the antibiotic-resistant gene coded by plasmid can be transferred through sex pilus to another bacteria.

So due to conjugation two different species of bacteria can share DNA which can include antibiotic-resistant genes. Therefore, through conjugation genetic variation and evolution are favored in bacteria. So due to this reason conjugation is a very important process in bacteria to spread antibiotic-resistant genes.
