Answer:

<u>Ulnar nerve</u> is also called funny bone and feels tingling sensation if <u>humerus </u>is bumbed. <u>Medial epicondyle</u> passes underneath this bony structure.

Explanation:

The funny bone isn't actually a bone, its actually a nerve that touches your humerus.It is the ulnar nerve, which travels down the arm posteriorly and eventually reaches the "cubital tunnel" and at this location (between the trochlea and medial epicondyle of humerus),  ulnar nerve is called funny bone.

The nerve is relatively unprotected at this place.

A blow here may produce a tingling or a numbing sensation throughout the forearm and hand.

Hence, <u>Ulnar nerve</u> is also called funny bone and feels tingling sensation if <u>humerus </u>is bumbed. <u>Medial epicondyle</u> passes underneath this bony structure.

Amphibians moved to a terrestrial environment; however, they did not evolve the ability to live their entire lives on land. Expl
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Amphibians are not totally adapted to live on land because the aquatic environment is needed for several life processes such as </em><em>reproduction</em><em>, </em><em>respiration</em><em>, and sometimes, </em><em>feeding</em><em>.</em>

<u>The eggs of amphibians are without any protective shells and will suffer desiccation in the terrestrial environment. Hence, water is needed in order to protect the eggs. In addition, the male am</u>phibians shed their sperm in the water close to the female eggs.

<u>The young ones of amphibians are essentially aquatic and may not survive out of water for a long time because they only breathe gills</u> - the lung is yet to develop or poorly developed at this stage. They have to grow and develop to a certain stage in water before they can start surviving on land.

The study of evolutionary relationships that includes a branching pattern showing lineages diverging is called... * 1 point
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The study of evolutionary relationships that includes a branching pattern showing lineages diverging is called <em>phylogenetic tree</em>

Explanation:

The phylogenetic tree is composed of,

• Lineages → These are the taxonomic groups of interest placed in the extremes of the lines called branches.  

• Nodes → These are the ramification points, which are also known as divergence points. They represent the location of the most recent common ancestor.  

• Root → This is the older common ancestor that all lineages share. The first one in the tree.  

Two or more lineages are more related to each other if they share a recent common ancestor. This means that they all diverge from the same node.

Two or more lineages are less related to each other if they lack a recent common ancestor. This is, the node from which these lineages diverge is placed far away in the tree.  

There are also different phylogenetic relationships between lineages.  

• Apomorphies → Occur when the involved lineages share a trait that they inherited from their most recent common ancestor. This trait evolved for the first time in this ancestor. → This relationship is a homology.

• Plesiomorphies → occur when the involved lineages share a trait inherited from a common ancestor, but that is older concerning the present traits exhibited by other descendants of the same common ancestor. → This relationship is a homology.

• Homoplasy → Lineages share a trait that evolved independently in each group. → This relationship is an analogy.

What happens to the number of chromosomes in the anaphase and telophase?
ZanzabumX [31]
During the phase of anaphase, each pair of chromosomes separate into two identical, independent chromosomes.
During the last phase of telophase the sisters chromatids reach opposite pole. The small nuclear vesicles in the cell begin to re-form around the group of chromosomes and at each end. Hope it helped :)
