Answer:The discovery of the "distal-less," or Dll, gene in many different phyla.

Explanation: Appendages of animals are any external attachment or extension of one or two body parts of an organism in order for it to be able to effectively perform its responsibilities.

The morphological and functional changes or evolution of appendages is responsible for the adaptive radiation of tetrapods, arthropods and winged insects. Recent studies tends to show that all animal appendages may be homologous through the discovery of the "distal-less," or Dll, gene in many different phyla.

Membrane lipids in tissue samples obtained from different parts of the leg of a reindeer have different fatty acid compositions.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The presence of a larger proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in membranes imparts them fluidity at lower temperatures as required to maintain their normal functioning.

Explanation:

The proportion of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids in membranes regulates their fluidity. At lower temperatures, membranes become more rigid. To maintain their normal fluidity, the proportion of the unsaturated fatty acids in membranes is increased. The unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their hydrocarbon tails which in turn do not allow their tight packing and impart fluidity to the membrane core.

At higher temperatures, membranes become more fluid and therefore, the proportion of the unsaturated fatty acids is reduced. The tissues of reindeer at the body's extremities such as those near hooves are exposed to surroundings and thereby, lose heat and have lower temperatures. To maintain the fluidity of membranes, the cells of these tissues incorporate more of the unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes as compared to the tissues in the upper legs where the body temperature is relatively higher.

Select all the correct answers. which two statements about composite materials are true? they’re made up of more than one substa

Dima020 [189]

Correct Statements are -

They’re made up of more than one substance.
They’re readily available in nature.

<h3>What are Composite Materials?</h3>

Composite materials are created by combining two or more substances with dissimilar properties.
Composite materials have distinct properties that distinguish them from their constituents, and the constituents can be easily distinguished within the composite materials because they do not blend together.
Some composite materials are abundant in nature. Wood, for example, is a composite material made up of cellulose and lignin.
