Explain why Neil Shubin thinks Tiktaalik says something about our own bodies? (in other words – why the Inner Fish title for the

book?)
Biology
1 answer:
Sophie [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Neil Shubin bases his argument that the anatomy of Tiktaalik is relevant to that of humans by discussing specific features of the anatomy of Tiktaalik that vary from typical fish anatomy and correspond to features of the human body. For example, he points out that Tiktaalik has a neck that is able to bend independently of the rest of the body, unlike fish, and like all terrestrial vertebrates, including humans. Therefore, the evolutionary history of humans can be traced to an organism similar to Tiktaalik, resulting in the concept of the "inner fish."

kakasveta [241]

Answer No 2:

      c      c

C   Cc     Cc

c    cc      cc

The genotype of the offsprings would be Cc, Cc, cc, cc i.e heterozygous cleft chin and no cleft chin. The phenotype of the offsprings could be 50% cleft chin and 50% without cleft chin.

there will be 50% chance of the child to have cleft chin.

Answer No 3:

        A        a

A     Aa       Aa

a      Aa        aa

There will be 25% chance for the offspring to have arched feet. As arched feet is a recessive trait, so for this trait to occur both the alleles of the gene should be recessive i.e aa.

Answer No 4:

    B      b

b   Bb    bb

b    Bb    bb

As blonde is a recessive trait, so both the alleles for this gene should be recessive for this trait to occur. Hence, according to the punnet square, there will be 50% chance for the offspring to be blonde.

Answer No 5:

           F      f

F          FF    Ff

f           Ff     ff

As normal vision is a resessive trait, hence both the alleles of the gene should be recessive for the trait to occur. According to the punnet square, there is 25% chance that the child will have normal vision.

How did adults slaves prepare children for the challenges of a life of slavery
Semenov [28]

Answer:

From the 16th to the 18th centuries, an estimated 12 million Africans crossed the Atlantic to the Americas in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Used on plantations throughout the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, enslaved Africans were shipped largely from West Africa. With an average life span of five to seven years, demand for slaves from Africa increasingly grew in the 18th century leading traders to take their supply from deep within the interior of the continent

Explanation:

Slave parents, in turn, sought to instill in their children a sense of loyalty to the slave community as a whole. They taught children to refer to other girls and boys as sister and brother

PLEASE HELP !Unlike sexual reproduction, vegetative reproduction 
pishuonlain [190]
B. requires flowers.

Sexual reproduction is one type of biological reproduction wherein the genitals of the male and female organisms engage into a sexual activity in order for the sperm cells to fertilize the egg cells of the females.
In the case of most plants, they engage in asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction happens outside the body system of a cell.
Moreover, this process is extrinsic than its opposite the sexual reproduction which happens in the female reproductive system.
