Ans.

Chimpanzees and gorillas are considered as more closely related to humans as compared to monkeys. It is because apes have a larger brain, longer life-span, higher intelligence, longer legs and show absence of tails as humans, while monkeys have a smaller brain, short-life span, short legs, and tails.

Thus, the correct answer is option A). apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails.

Scientists believe that great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely related to humans based on the evolutionary timeline because apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails. Apes are known to have larger brains than monkeys which makes them so closely related to us. This fact cancels out B and C for the answer. Also, apes (gorillas, orangutans, etc.) are much larger than monkeys (mandrill, lesula, etc.). This right away cancels out option D. What's left is option A which features body parts and comparisons that are comparatively accurate towards humans. Hope this helped :))

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,

A climate zone is an area that is defined by two main factors. What are they?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Temperature and precipitation.

Explanation:

Climate is defined as long-term climate patterns in a location. Looking at average temperature and precipitation through time is the simplest way to characterize the climate.

Temperature and precipitation are the two most significant factors in the climate of a place. Obviously, the annual average area temperature is significant, but the annual temperature range is important as well. Some locations range from the highest to the lowest temperature significantly wider than others. Average precipitation is very essential, but the annual change in precipitation is equally important. Some regions experience approximately the same precipitation year-round. For half of the year, other locations have very low precipitation while the other portion of the year has lots of precipitation.
