After the K-Pg mass extinction event, mammals were able to survive and proliferate. Which of the following factors
contributed to this success the least? (1 point)
O most mammals being nocturnal, allowing them to see better in the darkened conditions
O ability to regulate their body temperature in the face of reduced sunlight and colder temperatures.
O more oceanic and lake habitat, leading to marine mammal evolution.
O fewer predators in the absence of dinosaurs.

Respuesta :

Mammals survived the K-Pg mass extinction event because they are  able to  regulate their body temperature in the face of reduced sunlight and colder temperatures.

What is the  K-Pg mass extinction event?

The  K-Pg mass extinction event is a sudden extinction of mammals that happened over 66 million years ago on earth and affected several species.

One of the factors that enabled the mammals to survive this  K-Pg mass extinction event is that mammals are able to  regulate their body temperature in the face of reduced sunlight and colder temperatures.

Answer:

Which major environmental change is occurring today that could cause the next mass extinction?

climate change

What is the difference between a mass extinction and a regular (background) extinction?

Mass extinction involves many species over a short period of geologic time.

most mammals being nocturnal, allowing them to see better in the darkened conditions.

How is climate change today similar to the major K-Pg extinction event that ended the reign of the dinosaurs?

Individuals that can’t adapt are dying, and species are going extinct.

Fossils provide evidence that best helps scientists determine changes over time in

the emergence or extinction of species.
