1 answer:

7 0

Gases in Earth's Atmosphere. Nitrogen and Oxygen are by far the most common. Dry air is composed of about 78% Nitrogen (N2) and about 21% Oxygen (O2). Argon, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and many other gases are also present in much lower amounts; each makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere's mixture of gases.

So therefore Oxygen is the gas that makes up the largest portion of the Earths Atmosphere.

Which is a correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?

nataly862011 [7]

A cladogram is an image or a diagram that shows us an evolutionary relationship between different organisms. Up at the top we find the different organisms and their names. Along the side is where we find their characteristics. Anything that is past each characteristic will have that characteristic as you move up the cladogram. This diagram also shows which organisms are most closely related to one another.

Please see the image for an example. In this example we can see that the Koalas evolved after the trout.

I hope this helps, Regards.
