The Southern Oscillation is in a negative phase when pressures are higher in Darwin than in Tahiti.
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is a standardized index that is derived from the observed changes in sea level pressure (SLP) between Tahiti and Darwin, Australia. This index is used to predict future weather patterns. During El Nio and La Nia events, the SOI is one measurement of the large-scale fluctuations in air pressure that occur between the eastern and western tropical Pacific. These changes can be attributed to the Southern Oscillation. In general, when time series of the SOI are smoothed, a very good correlation with variations is seen in the temperatures of the oceans throughout the eastern tropical Pacific. The negative phase of the SOI indicates that the air pressure in Tahiti is lower than normal while the air pressure in Darwin is higher than normal. Extended periods of negative Southern oscillation index values coincide with ocean temperatures over the eastern tropical Pacific that are abnormally warm (cold), which is typical of El Nio (La Nia) events.

Amino Acids. A polypeptide IS a protein.
Answer:
C. Between rai and h
Explanation:
To be able solve this problem, it will be helpful to go and review the two - point mapping data generated for all the three genes that were involved. Putting in to considering that the map distances between jv-h (7.3 mu) and h-th (16.7 mu) equal the sum of the distance between jv-th (24 mu), having been given the distance between th-rai is greater (26.2 mu), the jv gene is said to be located between rai and and h.
Answer:
Option C, shared DNA sequences
Explanation:
Complete question -
What evidence suggests that vertebrates are more closely related to echinoderms than are any other invertebrate phyla?
- shared patterns of development
- shared morphology
- shared DNA sequences
Solution
Vertebrates have true backbone while invertebrates lack true backbone. Among the invertebrates, the echinoderm phylum is closely related to vertebrates as the echinoderm possesses notochord (similar to backbone) during their early stage development which disappears later.
Through the genomic sequence studies it has been found that echinoderms are similar to vertebrates in many ways. Echinoderms have diverged from deuterostomes along with human and hence pose some genetic similarity which can be devised through study of common DNA sequences
Hence, option C is correct
