1. Protection of water resources.
2. Soils formation and protection.
3. Nutrient storage and recycling.
4. Pollution breakdown and absorption.
5. Contribution to climate stability.
Answer:
The option c is partly correct.
Explanation:
None of the statements is completely accurate because:
a. Saurischian dinosaurs include theropod and sauropod dinosaurs, and their common ancestors. Ornithischians comprise neornithischians (ornithopods and ceratopsians), thyreophorans (ankylosaurs and stegosaurs) and heterdontosaurids.
b. Capability to fly has only been documented in fossils belonging to Saurischia (where the birds are also classified in). Feathers, on the other hand, do appear in the two clades. Feathers, however, are not a trait exclusively associated to flight.
c. This is a correct comparison between ornithischians and saurischians in the sense that the attributes do belong to these clades, but when comparing animals there most be a comparison that reflects a pattern. Ornithischians have leaf shaped teeth suited to eat plant material, whereas saurischians have teeth for a carnivore and herbivore diet.
d. Sauropods are saurischians and they evolved herbivory from a meat-eater ancestor.
Answer: Option A.
Achondrogenesis
Explanation:
Sonographic findings of severe micromelia, decreased or absent ossification of the spine, macrocephaly, and micrognathia are conditions of Achondrogenesis because
Achondrogenesis is a genetic disorder that is as a result of mutations in gene SLC26A2 which is responsible for cellular transport proteins that is needed for the growth and development of bones and cartilage. This condition lead to malformation of bones and cartilage and it is characterized by short limbs, small body, narrow chest ,prominent abdomen,underdeveloped lungs,lack of ossification in the spine and pelvis, prominent head, small chin e.t.c.
It is a condition that affects infants.
The major treatment is pallative care in which the doctor have to reduce pain stress of bones and cartilage and also genetic councellling.
That line would be the first option - <span>“surprisingly, there are some creatures benefiting from all this plastic.”
It is the only line which has a positive connotation because there are still some organisms which don't find plastics in the ocean to be a bad thing. The other options show only negative consequences of plastics being thrown in the oceans. </span>
Allele frequency:
Number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of alleles in that pool for the same gene
