A platypus is classified as a mammal because it has fur and feeds its offspring milk, yet it lays eggs, which is uncommon for ma

mmals. Which of the following pieces of evidence would be most helpful in strengthening the case for continuing to classify it with the mammals?
a.Evidence that all vertebrates share a common ancestor.

b.Evidence that some platypuses have evolved to bear live young.

c.Fossil evidence of platypuses living alongside other ancient mammals.

d. DNA evidence showing it was more closely related to mammals than to other vertebrates.

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Platypus is a mammalian species that lays the egg and feeds its young ones milk like any other mammals. Platypus shares characters of both mammals such as the presence of fur and mammary glands, and with reptiles such as the presence of eggshells and egg laying, although it is classified with the mammals.  

It is because, it exhibits more genetic similarity with the mammalian genome, almost 82%,  as compared to other vertebrates.

Thus, the correct answer would be option D.

Answer:

The main products of cellular respiration are CO2, H2O, and chemical energy/heat.

Explanation:

Here is the equation for cellular respiration:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + heat

Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood level of
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood level of carbon dioxide increase.

Explanation:

Breathing rate is the number of breaths of a person during a specific time, is usually the number of respiratory cycles that occur per minute. External respiration is the process of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide from the outside of the human body to pulmonary capillary blood. Once in the lungs, oxygen (and carbon dioxide to a very small extent) through the alveoli, pass into the red blood cells of the pulmonary vein blood. Carbon dioxide reacts in the blood with water, thanks to an enzyme, giving rise to bicarbonate. Blood reaches the heart, and is pumped into the cells by systemic arteries. The oxygen in the blood crosses the cell membrane and in turn, an exchange occurs, since the cell expels carbon dioxide and oxygen that it has not used. Once the exchange is done, the blood is conducted through the systematic veins with oxygen whose partial pressure is lower, and with an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide. It reaches the heart again, leads through the right atrium and ventricle and finally travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs where the air is expelled (expiration). Breathing rate tends to increase when the level of carbon dioxide in the blood increase.

If u know the water cycle please answer this question
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

Percolation is the process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter. It's how coffee is usually made. Percolation comes from the Latin word percolare, which means "to strain through." Percolation happens when liquid is strained through a filter, like when someone makes coffee.

Evaporation-the process of turning from liquid into vapor.

Condensation-water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

and gravity- Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. The warm water near the surface of the ocean heats up with sunlight and evaporates, keeping the water cycle in motion.
