Members of the phylum Echinodermata lack the following body system:

  • Excretory organ,
  • Brain,
  • And also no respiratory pigment in their blood

Most of the common marine invertebrates that you see in the aquarium or on the beach all belong to the phylum called Echinodermata.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Some of the examples of these marine invertebrates animals include sea urchins, starfish, sand dollars, basket stars, brittle stars and many more.

Echinodermata is a word that is derived from the Greek word “spiny fish” and this word best describes these animals because most of them are covered with bumps, for example, sand dollars and sea cucumbers are covered with one form of bumps or another.

However, Echinodermata bodily system lacks the following:

  • They do not possess a specialized excretory system
  • They lack brain
  • Their blood does not contain respiratory system
  • They also lack excretory organ and diffuses wastes out into the outside environment through their respiratory surfaces.

These invertebrate animals are marine species: they live only in salt water and there are none of their classes that reside on the land.

They are found almost at every ocean and the largest of animals that do not reside either on land or freshwater.

Most of these animals can reproduce sexually and can also restore or regenerate some of their lost body part such as the limbs and tissue.

Ringing in the ears is called:
Elza [17]

Answer:

c. tinnitus

Explanation:

Tinnitus (a hearing impairment) is a form of  hearing of sound when no external sound is present Which is often described as a Ringing,Tinnitus may also sound like a clicking or roaring. i.e usually unclear voices or music are heard. The sound may be soft or loud, low or high pitched, and appear to be coming from one or both ears. Ranging from one person to another, the sound may causes depression or anxiety and can interfere with concentration.

Otitis externa is a condition that causes inflammation , the inflammation also covers  (redness and swelling) of the external ear canal, i.e the tube between the outer ear and eardrum.

Meniere's disease popularly called (MD), is a disorder of the inner ear that is characterized by episodes of feeling like the world is spinning (vertigo), hearing loss, and a fullness in the  ear. The cause of MD involves both genetic and environmental factors. Some of the factors include constrictions in blood vessels, viral infections, and autoimmune reactions.

Otosclerosis is a condition where one or more foci of irregularly laid spongy bone replace part of normally dense enchondral layer of bony otic capsule in the bony labyrinth. This condition affects one of the ossicles (the stapes) resulting in hearing loss, vertigo or a combination of symptoms.

Therefore from the foregoing we can conclude that Tinnitus is the correct anwser.

A cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. How many chromosomes are found in the daughter cells? How many daughter cells are
Natalka [10]

Answer:

1. 80 chromosomes are found in each of the daughter cells. 2. Two daughter cells are produced. 3. The daughter cells are identical to each other.

Explanation:

Mitosis is simply a process of cell division whereby two daughter cells that are genetically identical are produced from a single parent cell. A cell having 80 chromosomes would undergo Mitosis through these various stages:

Interphase: This can be referred to as the rest phase between cell division when mature enough for reproduction. This is a preparatory stage where DNA is duplicated and ready for the division of chromosomes

Prophase: This stage marks the beginning mitosis of the cell with 80 chromosomes. The chromatin threads start a coiling process in which the chromosomes become condensed to enable easy distribution to daughter cells without tangling.  

Prometaphase: This phase commences toward the end of the prophase, where the nuclear envelop breaks down. The chromosomes move toward to the center of the cell.

Metaphase: At this stage, the duplicated chromosomes line up on the mid plane or equator of the cell. During this stage, each chromatid is condensed completely and appears thick and distinct.

Anaphase: At this stage, the chromosomes move toward the poles as each replicated copies of the DNA of the cell ends up on either side of the cell. What we would have here at this stage is an entirely two new sister chromatid having 80 chromosomes. Cytokinesis begins towards the end of this stage as the parent cell cytoplasm divides which also continues at telophase.

Telophase: This is the final phase of Mitosis where two separate nuclei are formed and Cytokinesis takes place to complete the division of the cell to form two daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes. These cells are genetically identical to the original parent cell.
