Explanation:

So when u take antibiotics you kill lots of the bacteria. however you don't kill all of them. the bacteria that is left over hasn't been killed because they are resistant to the antibiotics taken. if left these bacteria will reproduce and build and species resistant to that type of antibiotics which can be incredibly dangerous. this is why it is necessary to finish your full antibiotics course so even if u feel better just to make sure you kill all the bacteria.

Reproductive strategy is described into r-selection strategy and K-selection strategy. When an organism reproduces slowly and has only one offspring each time it reproduces, this organism is classified as the K-selected organism. Examples of K-selected organisms are elephants and humans.

romanna [79]

I believe it would be to calculate the amount of C-14 atoms left. scientists began to find out how long an object has been decaying, this has to do with half lifes etc. and how long a specific mineral/elements half life is. they use this to calculate how old it is (not an exact age but it's very accurate.)

Which end of an earthworm contains an organ that can detect smells?

NNADVOKAT [17]

The anterior end of an earthworm contains an organ that detects smells. Evidence of this is the way the earthworms responded to the ammonia. The earthworms backed away from the ammonia when it was waved near their anterior end, but they did not respond at all when the ammonia was waved near their posterior end.

Two organisms have analogous structures. A student concluded that these organisms must have a common ancestor is the student cor

arsen [322]

Answer:

The student is wrong, just because the analogous structures of any two organism may have the same structure or even have the some relation between there way of operation or functions.

Explanation:

Analogous Structures:

As the similarity between two or more different organisms structure or any organ does not means that they have same ancestors or have the common origin from which the evolve into two different species. Now analogous structures are very much similar in there structure physically, but two different organisms may use them for the same function, which is astonishing to see or observe in way different species.

For example:

As the structure of the flipper of a Dolphin has similarity with the phalanges of a human being and with the wings of the bat. As all of them functions for the basic need of movement or locomotion from one point to another. While, all the three species are very much different in there features and are not the same obviously.
