Biology
1 answer:
trapecia [35]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) The hind leg bones of the whales are vestigial structures that had a  function in an extinct ancestor.​ </em>

Explanation:

Vestigial structures can be described as structures or features which were once useful to the ancestor of a species but currently perform no function in the body of the organism. For example, the appendix of humans.

The hind leg bones of the whales determine that their ancestor might possess these bones for walking purposes. But as the current whales do not walk, hence these structures are vestigial for the current whales.

White perch is a fish that is native to Atlantic coastal regions and is invasive to the Great Lakes. It feeds on native species
VARVARA [1.3K]

ANSWER:  Trapped in a ship's ballast or water tank.

REASONING:  There are many examples of species being transported in the ballast or water tank of ships.  Ships need to be stable so they don't turn over.  Stability is provided by weight in the bottom part of the ship called the ballast.  This weight often comes from water that is stored in water tanks or the ballast area of the ship.  Water is taken in to the ballast at the beginning of its voyage.  When it arrives at it's destination, the ballast water is often drained.  Anything living in that water will also be drained in to the new location.  This is how species like the white perch can be introduced into new areas.

tia_tia [17]

Consequently bites may require post exposure follow up, since bitter's oral mucosa invariably gets exposed to bitee's blood(reverse exposure), all bitees should be tested for HCV-HIV infectivity.
