Answer: <em>The answer is A (It has gradually decreased in the last couple of years)</em>

  • Over the Earth's surface, the ozone layer's average thickness is about 300 Dobson Units, or a layer that is 3 millimeters thick.

  • The thickness of the ozone layer changes due to increasing concentrations of ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere.
  • Air motions also increase the ver- tical thickness of the ozone layer near the poles, which increases the value of total ozone in those regions. Tropospheric weather systems can temporarily reduce the thickness of the stratospheric ozone layer in a region, low- ering total ozone at the same time.

  • It is thinning due to the release of man-made compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). The net effect that CFCs have on the ozone layer is to recombine an oxygen atom with an ozone molecule to form two oxygen molecules. From 1978 to 1991, global stratospheric ozone levels have decreased by 3%.

Which two species are likely to have the most similar dna base sequences?
saul85 [17]
Based on the attached Image;
The two species that are likely to have the most similar DNA base sequences are C and D. 
An evolutionary tree or a phylogenetic tree, like the one shown on the image is used to indicate which ancestors gave rise to which descendants. The tree represents the evolutionary relationships among a set of organisms or groups of organisms, called taxa. The tips of the tree represents groups of descendant taxa and the nodes represents the common ancestors of these descendants.

Which of the following are NOT functions of the spinal cord?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system and is made up of neurons that go along it (from the end of the brain stem almost to the bottom of the spine).

The spinal cord receives incoming messages from the peripheral nervous system (including the sensory neurons) and pass on messages from the brain to efferent neurons (motor neurons at muscles).

The spinal cord contributes to learning as it passes on the info received from sensory neurons (that there is an obstacle in the path) to the brain and passes on the response from the brain to the muscles (to lift the foot up higher).

The spinal cord is essential for integration as it passes on sensory information  to the brain to determine motor output.

Reflexes are when sensory information is quickly sent straight to motor neurons to move. It does not need to go to the brain (hence does not need to go to the spinal cord) for the reaction as it would be too slow. This is seen when someone who is paraplegic (paralysed at lower torso) can still move their leg in response to the doctor tapping their knee even when they cannot forcibly move their legs.

Therefore reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.
