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.

All of the following contributes to turbulent blood flow except A) when there are irregularities in the vessel wall. B) at high
GaryK [48]

All of the following contributes to turbulent blood flow except  third and fourth heart sounds.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The blood flow in human body is always described to be laminar. Some conditions cause the high flow when there is an ascending aorta. This causes the laminar flow of blood into turbulent. When this occurs the flow of the blood will not be smooth and linear.  

When the kinetic energy in the fluid flow increases the turbulent flow of blood occurs. Both the magnitude and the direction of the flow changes in this type of blood flow. These are caused by the irregularities in the vessel walls, flow rates to ne higher and opening of the valves of the heart.

Increased force output of the synergists for hip extension to compensate for the weakened gluteus maximus is an example of which
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

b. Synergistic dominance

Explanation:

The stabilizing muscles will always be <u>synergistic</u>, since only from the synergies (hence the term synergist) that arise from joint work is efficient and controlled movement possible. However, not all synergists will be stabilizers. Stabilizer will be one that, thanks to the geometric arrangement of its fibers, will have the ability to maintain alignment in the joint and stable the axis of rotation.

In the case of knee extension, we would have as stabilizers all the antagonists who, because the flexion axis is virtual and not physical, must maintain the stability of said axis. If the axle were physical, such as the wheel in a horse carriage, or on a skateboard through the bearings, the antagonistic muscles would not be necessary for this purpose, because the fixed axis would maintain the position. Since the joints of living beings do not have a fixed physical axis, it is the muscles themselves, specifically the antagonists, who must be responsible for maintaining the stability of the joint creating a virtual axis on which rotation occurs.

Describe how restriction enzymes and ligase enzymes are used to make the plasmids that are introduced to bacteria cells during t
balandron [24]

Answer:

DNA restriction enzymes cut the DNA molecule, while DNA ligases join the resulting DNA fragments

Explanation:

Transformation is a naturally occurring process by which bacteria incorporate exogenous genetic material from their surrounding environment. This process (transformation) is used for DNA cloning via plasmid vectors. In DNA cloning, transformation occurs after restriction enzymes cut the DNA at specific sequences named palindromic sequences (i.e, sequences that can be read the same in opposite direction). Restriction enzymes can generate sticky-ends, where enzymes make staggered cuts in the two strands (e.g., <em>BamH</em>), or blunt ends, where the resulting strands are of the same length (e.g., <em>HaeIII</em>). In general, sticky-end enzymes are more useful because they generate a 3' overhang in one molecule and a complementary 5' overhang in the other, increasing the yield and specificity of ligation. During ligation, a DNA ligase is used to join both DNA strands by forming phosphodiester bonds in the plasmid. Following transformation, bacteria can be selected on antibiotic plates.
