Chapter 23.2, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction

To explain:

Whether the last appearance of a species in the fossil record that was lost in a mass extinction caused due to a sudden catastrophic event would necessarily be close to the event, and to explain whether the answer will differ depending on the rarity or the commonness of the species.

Introduction:

Extinction is the phenomena in which any organism becomes finished or disappeared forever. In terms of ecology and species the extinction is a huge loss as that particular species will never be recovered at any cost or circumstance. It is such a loss that is irreparable.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
