The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A) ancestral trait
B) analogous trait
C) homologous trait
D) derived trait
Answer:
Homologous trait
Explanation:
A homologous trait refers to a trait which is derived from a common ancestor in different species present on the Earth.
The homologous trait is formed as the result of the divergent evolution or a type of evolution in which an organism has diverged to form a different organism.
Since the trait diverges as well as derived from a common ancestor the trait is known to be shared among species and these traits either play the same role or not in different organisms but they resemble each other.
Thus, Homologous trait is correct.
I believe that the seismograph shows the difference of time between the arrival of the two types of waves and this can be read right off the seismograph recording. Also, to get the distance of the earthquake from the recording spot one can derive the average velocity from Vp x Vs/Vp-Vs=km/sec x difference in time of arrival of the two equals the distance to the epicentre, This is where Vp = velocity of P wave and Vs = velocity of S waves.
Answer:
Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Aspirin inhibits the formation of prostaglandins by combining with the COX enzymes. Prostaglandins function as messenger molecules to monitor different physiological procedures in distinct regions of the body. One of the prime activities of prostaglandins is to stimulate inflammation and pain.
Prostaglandins are also the essential controller of platelet aggregation. By changing the COX enzymes inside the platelets, aspirin makes platelets to lose the stickiness, which is required to instigate clotting of blood.
There are two forms of cyclooxygenase, that is, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 generates prostaglandins and COX-2 mediates pain and swelling in response to tissue injury. Aspirin prevents both COX-1 and COX-2 functioning, while COX-2 is the therapeutic target of the drug.
However, it is the association of aspirin with COX-1 in the gastrointestinal tract, which results in the unwanted side effects of the drug. COX-1 is required to sustain a thick lining of the stomach. As aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, thus, the continuous use of the drug can result in the thinning of mucus, which safeguards the stomach from gastric juices.
In such cases, stomach bleeding, ulcers, and in certain situations perforation of the stomach can take place. Therefore, aspirin exhibits both bad and good effects.
1. Species vary over time
2. The fossil and the living species will have some similarities and some differences
