Traditionally, zoologists have placed birds in their own class, Aves. More recently, molecular evidence has shown that birds are

more closely related to reptiles than their anatomy reveals. Genetically, birds are more closely related to crocodiles than crocodiles are to turtles. Thus, bird anatomy has become highly modified as they have adapted to flight, without their genes having undergone nearly as much change. Taxonomically, what should be done with the birds?
A: The rest of the reptiles should be reclassified as a subclass within the class Aves.
B: Birds should be reclassified, and their new taxon should be the subclass Aves. Genetic similarity trumps morphological dissimilarity in cases where morphological traits are uninformative.
C:The classification scheme should remain the same because of historical precedence.
D: The traditional stance is correct. Such dramatic morphological change as undergone by birds indicates that birds should be placed in their own order, separate from the reptiles.

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer

1. The vascular and dermal tissues

2. Protein capsid

Explanation

Dermal tissue present in plants offer the first defense mechanism against physical damage which could be caused by insects and infections.The dermal tissue covers the outside parts of a plant except in woody shrubs and tree which are protected by the bark. Vascular tissues in plants are responsible for the transportation of water and nutrients that are vital in cell repair and growth.Through vascular tissues, the plant obtains nutrients important for the restoration of the damaged cells.

A capsid is the protein shell of a virus.It is composed of protomers which are subunits.Some viruses are enveloped by a capsid coated with a lipid membrane called the viral envelop.The main function of a capsid is to protect the genetic material of a virus while interacting with the host environment.

Hypothesize one way that a diploid organism could have offspring that are 3n or 4n
gladu [14]
Diploid refers to a cell that has two copies of each chromosome. One way that a diploid organism could have an offspring that are 3n (triploid) or 4n is when the chromosomes don't separate during meiosis.

Triploid refers to some cell that have 3 copies of each chromosomes for a total of 69 chromosomes.
