Answer:
a. resolve the branching patterns (evolutionary history) of the Lophotrochozoa
b. (the same, it is repeated)
Explanation:
Nemertios (ribbon worms) and foronids (horseshoe worms) are closely related groups of lofotrocozoa. Lofotrocozoans, or simply trocozoans (= tribomastic celomados with trocophoric larva) are a group of animals that includes annelids, molluscs, endoprocts, brachiopods and other invertebrates. They represent a crucial superphylum for our understanding of the evolution of bilateral symmetry animals. However, given the inconsistency between molecular and morphological data for these groups, their origins were not entirely clear. In the work linked above, the first records of genomes of the Nemertine worm Notospermus geniculatus and the foronid Phoronis australis are presented, along with transcriptomes along the adult bodies. Our phylogenetic analyzes based on the genome place Nemertinos as the sister group of the taxon that contains Phoronidea and Brachiopoda. It is shown that lofotrocozoans share many families of genes with deuterotomes, suggesting that these two groups retain a common genetic repertoire of bilaterals that do not possess ecdisozoans (arthropods, nematodes) or platizoos (platelets, sydermats). Comparative transcriptomics demonstrates that foronid and brachiopod lofophores are similar not only morphologically, but also at the molecular level. Although the lofophore and vertebrates show very different cephalic structures, the lofophorees express the vertebrate head genes and neuronal marker genes. This finding suggests a common origin of the bilaterial pattern of the head, although different types of head will evolve independently in each lineage. In addition, we recorded innate immunity expansions of lineage-specific and toxin-related genes in both lofotrocozoa and deuterostomes. Together, this study reveals a dual nature of lofotrocozoans, in which the conserved and specific characteristics of the lineage shape their evolution.
Answer:
a. heart development.
Explanation:
As the third week of fetal development starts, the process of formation of blood vessels begins. Also, the splanchnic mesoderm in the head end of the embryo forms heart on days 18 and 19. Since it develops heart, this part of the mesodermal cells is called the cardiogenic area. The underlying endoderm sends the induction signals to these mesodermal cells to form a pair of endocardial tubes that gradually develop into a single primitive heart tube.
This primitive heart begins to beat by the end of the third week of development. Therefore, any drug that affects fetal development during the first 20 days of the pregnancy might affect the development of the heart.
Answer:proton
For our purposes at this point in the text, we can define an acid. as a substance with at least one hydrogen atom that can dissociate to form an anion and an H + ion (a proton) in aqueous solution, thereby forming an acidic solution.
