Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The evolution of diatoms and coccolithophorids led to the redistribution of silica and calcium carbonate in the oceans. These minerals became a significant source of sediments on the deep seafloor, altering the geological landscape of the ocean. This is a crucial consequence of the evolution of these organisms. Option A is incorrect because while diatoms and coccolithophorids dominate primary productivity in the oceans, it is not their evolution-specific consequence. Option C is partially correct but not the most significant consequence of their evolution. Option D is incorrect.
