What is not characteristic of primitive mammals? a. scavengers b. feathered c. small, rodent-like d. plant-eaters

The correct answer is - B. feathered.

The primitive mammals were very small (with a couple of exceptions), rodent-like, also very often described as shrew-like. They were feeding with plants, as well as with insects and the occasional egg. Most of them were night creatures, and they were living in the shadow of the much bigger dinosaurs.

So, they were small, furry, rodent-like, night-dwellers, but there isn't a single evidence that any of the primitive mammals, or any mammal whatsoever, had feathers.

ur answer is e & d

explanation:

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
