The fossils of a new species of reptile are found in deposits dating to the Permian period. Later, scients discover that fossils

of the speces changed somewhat over time and can be found in deposits dating from the permitan period all the way up to the Cretaceous period. The fossils vary from one continent to another, but many seemingly intermediate forms are found, and the fossils are spread over most continents. The scientists' observations most strongly support which evolutionary models?
a. ellopete speciation
b. Punctuated ovolution
c. adaptive radiation

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. "adaptive radiation".

Explanation:

The term "adaptive radiation" is used in evolutionary biology to describe a evolutionary history at which many different organisms are created as a result of a rapid diversification of an ancestral species. This phenomenon takes place as a result of changes in the environmental conditions that forces new species to adapt quickly. The scientist observations of many intermediate forms at different continents of an ancestral reptile, most strongly support the evolutionary model of adaptive radiation.

What causes skeletal muscle relaxation? A) nhibitory interneuron releases GABA onto muscle B) Descending neurons from brain dire
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Motor neuron does not fire action potentials

Explanation:

During contraction, the motor nerve passes down an action potential. A neuromuscular junction is formed by the motor neuron which stimulates the entry of calcium ions. The calcium ions bind to structures called as troponin which stimulates the binding of the filaments, actin and myosin. The filaments begin to contract by using ATP.

During relaxation, the action potential is stopped. Calcium is taken back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. As a result, actin and myosin filaments do not link and hence, the contraction is stopped.

Every year _______ species go extinct. a. 3 b. 72 c. 1000 d. 20000 please select the best answer from the choices provided
Galina-37 [17]

The experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year. If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true - i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on our planet - then that means between 200 and 2,000 extinctions occur every year.

What is extinction?

  • Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species.
  • The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence.
  • More than 99% of all species that ever lived on Earth, amounting to over five billion species, are estimated to have died out.
  • It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryote globally, and possibly many times more if microorganisms, like bacteria, are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, dodos, mammoths, ground sloths, thylacines, trilobites and golden toads.
  • Through evolution, species arise through the process of speciation—where new varieties of organisms arise and thrive when they are able to find and exploit an ecological niche and species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superior competition.
  • The relationship between animals and their ecological niches has been firmly established.
  • A typical species becomes extinct within 10 million years of its first appearance, although some species, called living fossils, survive with little to no morphological change for hundreds of millions of years.

How does the respiratory center in the brain control breathing rate?
BaLLatris [955]
The medulla oblongata detects the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations and signals the muscles in the heart, the lungs and diaphragm to increase or decrease thebreathing. The pons controls the speed of inhalation and exhalation orrespiration rate depending on the need of the body.
