Their conclusions regarding the organism's features are listed below:1. Physical features: The organism has a surprisingly soft and malleable exoskeleton that reflects ambient light, creating mesmerizingpatterns. In fact, the remains highly suggest that most of its body parts are soft and blubbery rather than rigid.2. Habitat: Given its relationship with light, it is suggested that the organism does not commonly burrow.

Fossils are the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the distant past. They…

Imagine that you have the DNA sequences fromthe intron of a gene in three species called A, B,and C. Species A and B are most closely related,while C is more distantly related. The sequencesof A and B differ by 18 base pairs, A and C differby 26 base pairs, and B and C differ by 28 basepairs. Fossils show that species A and B divergedabout 1.2 Mya, but there is no fossil evidence asto when the most recent common ancestor ofall three species lived. Use the genetic data toestimate that date. What assumptions are youmaking to get this estimate?
Researchers looking for fossils of the earliest life-forms face many hurdles. Explain why sofew remaining samples of these rocks remain.
Researchers looking for fossils of the earliest life forms face many hurdles. For example, few sedimentary rocks date back more than 3 billion years. Explain why so few remaining samples of these early rocks remain.
The diversity of modern vertebrates was shaped in partby mass extinctions. The most severe extinction eventwe know of occured at the border between the Permianand Triassic periods about 250 million years ago. Anestimated 96 percent of the marine species and 70 percentof land species disappeared in what is sometimes called“The Great Dying.” The cause of this mass extinctionremains under investigation. Suggested causes includean asteroid impact, extreme volcanic activity, or a sudden release of carbon dioxide from deposits on the sea floor. Which groups of vertebrates were present when this mass extinction event occurred? Which evolvedafterward?
Perhaps 98 percent to 99 percent of all species that have ever existed areextinct. Nearly all went extinct long before humans arrived on the scene. Whyshould we be concerned about the extinction of organisms today?
. The upper forelimbs of humans and bats have fairly similarskeletal structures, whereas the corresponding bones inwhales have very different shapes and proportions. However,genetic data suggest that all three kinds of organisms divergedfrom a common ancestor at about the same time. Which ofthe following is the most likely explanation for these data?(A) Forelimb evolution was adaptive in people and bats, butnot in whales.(B) Natural selection in an aquatic environment resulted insignificant changes to whale forelimb anatomy.(C) Genes mutate faster in whales than in humans or bats.(D) Whales are not properly classified as mammals.
Question 1: Mass extinction ocurred on the following time and era except for: A. Mesozoic B. Precambrian C. Paleozoic D. Cenozoic E. All of the answers are correct Question 2: Why would Precambrian Time did not have a lot of fossils? A. fossils were destroyed by extreme heat and pressure. B. soft bodied animals do not leave a lot of fossils. C. majority of the fossils during Precambrian time underwent chemical transformation D. paleontologists haven’t recovered much of the remains of ancient organisms. Question 3: Transgenic organisms have also been developed for commercial purposes most importantly in the agricultural sector. Perhaps the most famous examples are food crops like soy and corn that are now highly resistant to various types of pests. These transgenic organisms are commonly produced by: A. addition, deletion of modification of genes B. gene sequences and programming C. inducing genetic mutations D. genetic transformation by bacteria E. identifying chromosomal…
Microtaxonomy ( Species and Speciation ) People who do not believe in evolution often cite the classic example of man presumably evolving from the apes. They oftern ask: if humans evolved from apes, why are there apes until today? How will you provide a convincing answer that there is no contradiction in the existence of apes and humans at the same time?
I need help answering the big font question from my teacher presentation: If evolution is true then why do new species seem to appear out of now ehere in the fossil record?
This video refers to Denisovans as a “Ghost Lineage.” In fact, Denisovans don’t even have a formal scientific name. What is the physical evidence that anthropologists need to further define and understand the Denisovans? A. None of the above B. A Type Specimen (and more Denisovan fossils) C. Neanderthal DNA D. H. sapiens DNA
