Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- A) Have hairs.

As per the University of Michigan, there are primarily three characteristics/ features that are unique to mammals. These are as follows-

1) Presence of hairs on body.

2) Presence of mammary glands ( primarily used of feeding the neonates).

3) Presence of three bones in the middle ear ( that is Malleus, incus, and stapes).

The most significant function of hairs in mammals is that they provide insulation against cold by conserving heat of body. In certain nocturnal animals ( which are active during night time), they serve as sensory organs.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) oxygen</em>

Explanation:

The splitting of the water molecules during the light-dependent reactions results in the production of 2 electrons, two hydrogen ions and the formation of oxygen gas. The electrons released by this process make ATP by a process which is known as chemiosmosis. The hydrogen ions released during the light-dependent reactions are converted into NADPH during the light-independent reactions. Oxygen is the by-product and is released into the air. The oxygen is used up by other organisms of the earth for cellular respiration.

The macronucleus is generated from the micronucleus. The micronucleus passes the genetic material to offspring, but it does not express its genes. The macronucleus provides the small nuclear RNA for vegetative growth.

Answer:

What was the first hominid ancestor?

The first early hominid from Africa, the Taung child, as it was known, was a juvenile member of Australopithecus africanus, a species that lived one million to two million years ago, though at the time skeptical scientists said the chimpanzee-size braincase was too small for a hominid.
