the transformation of energy from one living thing to another
Very true. There are several phyla
Answer:
At the bottom of the sequence
Explanation:
According to the "principle of superposition of strata", the oldest rocks are formed at the bottom of sedimentary rock sequences.
The oldest rock layer would contain the the oldest fossil. Weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition would bring all sediments which includes rock materials and remains of living organisms to the basin where they would be lithified to form sedimentary rocks. This makes the oldest fossil to be at the bottom of the sequence. As time progresses, the fossil sequence would continue to accumulate and young upwards as the strata becomes relatively younger. Also, we know that fossils succeed one another in a definite manner.
This why relative dating of rocks can be possible.
The answer is an overhunting.
<span>The bottleneck event means drastic reduction of the population size because of environment changes. The consequence of this is the reduction of genetic variation. The bison population is a good example of the population bottleneck. The bison population drastically reduced its size due to overhunting which culminated at the end of the 19th century, when bisons almost extinct. </span>
