Why do paleontologists know more about hard-bodied organisms then soft-bodied organisms?
fishy
Is paleontology competitive?
That sort of depends on what you mean by competitive. People compete for money to do paleontology, but it isn't as cut-throat as biology. Generally there are so few paleontologists that it is easy to know everyone in the field. It is a good field for hard workers.
How many zoologists are there in world?
We do not precisely know how many paleontologists are in the World to-day. The number depends upon categories that you consider : professional paleontologists in institutional structures such as universities, national (federal) agencies, research centres, ...; professional paleontologists in private companies (oil companies, quarrying companies, ...); amateur paleontologists; technicians (preparators); full time vs part time paleontologists; including Ph.D. students and postdocs or not ... In France, we have ca. 6000 full time professional geologists (excluding Ph.D. students, secondary and intermediate school teachers, amateurs), and among them ca. 100 full time professional paleontologists, that is a ratio paleo/geo = 1/60 or 0.016 or 1.6%. In the USA, there are 120,000 to 200,000 geologists (see the American Geological Institute or AGI). If we apply the ratio of 1.6%, it gives 1920 to 3200 paleontologists. Extrapolating these two numbers worldwide may give something as 30.000 to 50.000 paleontologists.
Know Why mitosis occur in organisms?
MITOSIS is the process by which cell division occurs in organisms for the purposes of growth and differentiation of tissues.

What is the importance of the works of a paleontologists?
The importance of the works of a paleontologists is to find out how earth was like & to let people learn about the importance of it & to find out the fossils of plants and animals long long time ago, so that they would teach other people to learn about them so if they would want to know about them they know what is the answer to their question.People also this as their job cause they also want to learn the importance of the works of a paleontologists.These people who are now paleontologists knows everything from the past & maybe they would teach the younger kids to learn about them & see how fun & exciting it is to be a paleontologists.

How do we know what dinosaures look like?
Actually, paleontologists don't know for sure what color the dinosaurs were. All they know is the shape of the skeleton therefore creating the body shape.
What can be told from the bones of chirostenotes dinosaur?
Although we only have bones from the arm and leg, paleontologists know that:It was an Oviraptorosaur, so we know approximately what it looked like and what it probably ate, based on what other Oviraptorosaurs looked like and ate.We know its size (about 6.6 feet long).They had a long claw on each hand, which may have been used for pulling grubs out of crevices, or piercing soft bodied amphibians. This would not have been possible if they had lots of feathers on their arms like their relatives, though.
How do you give a girl an organism?
It's not too hard--just go find her a rose or a chrysanthemum or something. Millions of organisms have been identified, you know.
Can the genotype for a gray-bodied fly be determined Why or why not Describe all of the possible genotypes for a fly with that phenotype?
Assuming that we are talking about fruit flies, then you should be able to determine this. Gray bodied flies would be the dominant and ebony bodied flies would be recessive. So, the results can only be a homozygous dominant fly (GG) or heterozygous fly (Gg). If you cross that fly with a ebony bodied fly (gg) and there is a result of some ebony bodied flies, then you know the original fly was heterozygous. If you result in all gray flies, then it was dominant.Source(s):Biology 101

well I don't know about single organisms but single celled organisms are of coarse organisms with only one cell
