Answer:

A

Explanation:

All somatic cells are genetically identical. For differentiation to occur, appropriate molecular signals like growth factors stimulate stem cells to silence certain genes and express certain genes. Due to different sets of genes expressed, a cell now becomes a differentiated cell that is functional.

Hence, due to different patterns of gene expression, a cell is specialised.

Describe the function of the nasal and oral pharynx for breathing.
professor190 [17]
The nasal cavity is a hollow space within the nose and skull that is lined with hairs and mucus membrane. The function of the nasal cavity is to warm, moisturize, and filter air entering the body before it reaches the lungs. The pharynx on the other hand referred to as the throat is part of both the digestive and respiratory systems. For the digestive system, its muscular walls function in the process of swallowing, and it serves as a pathway for the movement of food from the mouth to the esophagus.

Why was the discovery of organisms, such as archaeopteryx, that have a mix of traits usually associated with two different group
Jlenok [28]

The answer would be transitional forms like Archaeopteryx make available DNA confirmation that demonstrates how organisms are related. Transitional fossils establish the middle forms that happened over the evolutionary trail taken by a single genus. A case in point of a transitional fossil is archaeopteryx, which relates the evolution of dinosaurs (from jaws and claws) to birds (feathers).
