Fossils of Thrinaxodon, a species that lived during the Triassic period, have been found in both South Africa and Antarctica. Th

rinaxodon had a reptile-like skeleton and laid eggs, but small depressions on the front of its skull suggest it had whiskers and, therefore, fur. Thrinaxodon may have been warm-blooded. The fossils of Thrinaxodon are consistent with the hypothesis that _____.A) fossils found in a given area look like the modern species in that same area
B) the environment where it lived was very warm
C) mammals evolved from a reptilian ancestor
D) Antarctica and South Africa separated after Thrinaxodon went extinct

Answer:

C) mammals evolved from a reptilian ancestor

Explanation:

Mammals, amphibians, and reptiles are tetrapods. Reptiles and mammals are shown to be originated from a common ancestor, the early tetrapods which in turn diversified into two lineages. One of the lineages evolved into synapsids and the other gave rise to reptiles and birds. Synapsids diversified into two lineages one of which later formed mammals.

According to the given information, fossil records of Thrinaxodon have a reptile-like skeleton and were oviparous like reptiles. However, the presence of furs and the possibility of being warm-blooded make it like a mammal.

Reptiles are cold-blooded egg-laying tetrapods while mammals are warm-blooded viviparous tetrapods. The presence of some of the features from both the groups in Thrinaxodon provides proof that mammals evolved from a reptilian ancestor.

1. Diffusion: Diffusion, process resulting from random motion of molecules by which there is a net flow of matter from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. A familiar example is the perfume of a flower that quickly permeates the still air of a room
2.Osmosis: a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
3. Facilitated diffusion: Facilitated diffusion is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.
4. Protein pumps: a kind of protein that is capable of pumping out compounds that could pose a threat to the cell. An example is AcrB, a bacterial protein complex that repels a wide range of antibiotics through its ability to capture and pump out a spectrum of structurally diverse compounds
5.exocytosis: a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
6.endocytosis: Endocytosis definition and purposes. Endocytosis is the process by which cells take in substances from outside of the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle. These can include things like nutrients to support the cell or pathogens that immune cells engulf and destroy.
