If a hypothesis is supported consistently by different observations or experiments, it may be advanced to the level of a(n) <u>theory</u>.
The correct answer is B. They evolved from a shared ancestor
Explanation:
In biology, the word clay refers to a set of organisms that have a common ancestor and because of this, they are placed in the same ramification or branch in a phylogenic tree, which allows biologists to classify organisms in groups. For example, all birds are believed to have a common ancestor and therefore they formed a clade. However, belonging to the same clade does not imply the same exact classification, identical phylogenies or characteristics because these depend on each species and varies due to the evolution process. Therefore the statement that is true about organisms that are part of the same clad ie that they evolved from a shared ancestor.
If an area as a relatively large number of leaves, these leaves can block much-needed sunlight for other organisms, whether they remain on the tree of fall to the ground.
Answer:
4% of the white population in the US are carriers of cystic fibrosis.
Explanation:
According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, if q2 equals 1/2,500, then q equals .02, p equals .98, and 2pq equals approximately .04, or 4%.
Remember that the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation is <u>used when the population maintains its genetic variation constant</u>.
<span>1. List the adaptation that ALL vertebrates have in common.
The vertebrate is a subphylum of kingdom Animalia. The member of subphylum should have a spine or vertebrae. Therefore, all vertebrates should have vertebrae. All the member should have all the classification above the subphylum like cranium from craniate and notochord from chordate.
2. List all the adaptations that your chordate has (as shown on the cladogram).
The frog is part of Amphibian that shown on green lines. It should have all the organ above its classification such as jaws and paired appendages, lungs(frog can live in the land), four limbs. It also has all the trait of vertebrates that was described above.
3. To which type of chordate is your chordate most closely related?
If your chosen chordates are the frog, then salamander and caecilian would be the most closely related chordates. The reason is that salamanders and caecilians are also amphibians like the frog, which means they have all the trait from amphibians.
4. Why do you think endothermy appears at two points on the cladogram?
Endothermy member is the chordates that have warm blood. There are two chordates that have warm blood in the cladogram, the apes(mammals) and the bird. Since the bird is classified as reptile the but the ape classified as mammals, the cladogram needs to put two </span>endothermy.<span>
5. Amniotic eggs have a waterproof membrane. What type of animals evolved from animals that lay amniotic eggs?
</span>The amniotic eggs will be found on the reptile. The eggs have a waterproof membrane to prevent water comes out of the egg. Water is an important resource and if a high amount of water leak from the egg, the egg will be dried out and die. <span>
6. In what type of habitat do you think the evolution of amniotic eggs helped animals survive? Hint: In what habitat do all animals without amniotic eggs live?
The amniotic eggs help an animal that lives on the dry land to make offspring. All of the animals before reptiles are living in the water and spawn their eggs there so there is no concern about losing water, thus waterproof membrane is not needed. Reptile spawns their eggs on land, so it needs a method to contain the water.</span>
