There are 35 orders of modern birds. Which of the following statements is (are) true regarding these orders? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.

All modern bird orders evolved in the theropod lineage. This lineage also included Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor.

Modern bird orders diversified rapidly within the Tertiary period.

Bird ancestors suffered near extinction events—the same Mesozoic events that resulted in extinction of most dinosaur lineages. Modern birds are descendants of a relatively small group of toothless birds in one of these lineages.

Modern bird orders are divided into three major lineages.

Since a female is both xx chromosome and the male passes down the x chromosome, than the offspring would be female since a female is xx.

Giga is the second highest prefix on the normal scale, the first is terra.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
