Consider the phylogenetic tree. Which two organisms are most closely related, based on the tree above?
Aleksandr [31]
Answer: dinosaurs and birds
Plentiful collection of f<span>ossils of early birds and their most immediate predecessors has settled the century-old controversy about the origin of birds. Birds are now safely declared to evolve from a group of dinosaurs known as maniraptoran theropods. Birds have similar shape of the bones as a variety of maniraptorans have.  A host of fossils have shown also that the maniraptorans lay looked alike eggs as that of birds and they resemble the birds in the way they laid their eggs also. Those reasons prove that they are most closely related.</span><span>

An easy way to calculate the amount of energy available at each level is to
Contact [7]

Answer:

Use the rule that 10% of the energy is transferred between layers.

Explanation:

Energy is transferred between layers of a food pyramid. That means that the  producers at the bottom of the pyramid (e.g. green plants) provide energy to the primary consumers (e.g. rabbits), which are eaten by and provide energy to the secondary consumers (e.g. foxes).

However, very little of the energy is actually transferred to the next layer, roughly 10%. So an easy way to calculate the energy available at each level is to calculate 10% of what was available from the previous level. So if there is 600 kJ available from the primary consumers, then 60 kJ are transferred to the secondary consumers

Do pollen grains have the same number of chromosomes as a regular plant cell?
finlep [7]

The pollen grain is actually the male gametophyte generation of seed plants. Inside the anther, pollen mother cells divide by meiosis to form pollen grains whose nuclei contain half the number of chromosomes characteristic of the parent plant.
