The actively dividing cells, or meristems, control plant growth. Primary (apical) meristems, the dividing tissue at the tips of the roots, grow longer roots, and secondary meristems, the dividing tissue seen in the cross-sections, grow thicker roots.
Filtration
<span>Urea is the cellular waste product that the kidneys remove from the blood.Kidneys are the two bean shaped organs that has several functions to keep the body healthy. It not only removes urea from the blood, but also helps in the formation of urine and maintaining the fluid level of the body. The two kidneys are placed on the two sides of the spinal cord. The blood enters the kidney through the renal artery. The nephron within the kidneys mainly take out the waste products and the excess water from the blood and purifies it.If the kidneys of a person fail to work properly then it becomes important to perform dialysis for taking out the waste materials from the blood.</span>
Answer:
Option C, shared DNA sequences
Explanation:
Complete question -
What evidence suggests that vertebrates are more closely related to echinoderms than are any other invertebrate phyla?
- shared patterns of development
- shared morphology
- shared DNA sequences
Solution
Vertebrates have true backbone while invertebrates lack true backbone. Among the invertebrates, the echinoderm phylum is closely related to vertebrates as the echinoderm possesses notochord (similar to backbone) during their early stage development which disappears later.
Through the genomic sequence studies it has been found that echinoderms are similar to vertebrates in many ways. Echinoderms have diverged from deuterostomes along with human and hence pose some genetic similarity which can be devised through study of common DNA sequences
Hence, option C is correct
