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.

Answer:

Explanation:

A. False - A symporter system requires that one of the molecules to be transported using passive transport.

B. True - The Na+ will move down the established concentration gradient releasing energy to facilitate movement of sucrose against its concentration gradient. This is known as secondary active transport.

C.  False -  sucrose moves through ion channels not by diffusion to better control its movement across the membrane.

D. True - Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient thus requiring energy input is known as active transport.

E. False - One of the molecules needs to be moving against its concentration gradient.

F. False - A Uniporter system allows the binding and transport of a single molecule at a time. A symporter allows simultaneous binding and transport of Na+ and sucrose molecules.

PLEASE HELP ME AND EXPLAIN!!!<br>THANK U FOR THE HELP!!!

An example of a false negative is taking an HIV test and having the test come back negative to say the patient is clean, but in reality they have HIV. Another example of a false negative is a woman taking a pregnancy test saying "not pregnant" (i.e. test is negative), but she actually is pregnant. Between those two examples, it is better to have a false negative pregnancy test because it is non life threatening.

A false positive example would be getting bad news you have cancer, when you actually don't have cancer. Another false positive example is a test saying you have a cold virus, when in actuality you don't. The first example mentioned would have the patient likely go through intense chemo treatments which would greatly affect their livelihood. The second example is a more harmless false positive as it would involve at most a flu shot if anything.
