<span>Mammals are advanced synapsids, animals distinguished by having extra openings in the skull behind the eyes; this opening gave the synapsids stronger jaw muscles and jaws (the jaw muscles were anchored to the skull opening) than previous animals. Synapsids include the mammals, and their ancestors, the pelycosaurs, therapsids, and cynodonts. Pelycosaurs (like Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus) were early synapsids, they were mammal-like reptiles. Later synapsids include the therapsids and the cynodonts (with multicusped post-canine teeth; they lived from the late Permian through the Triassic period). The cynodonts led to the true mammals. Over time, the synapsid gait became more upright and tail length decreased</span>

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Diagram is attached.

Capsid protein is a form of structural protein which usually forms part of a complex which later produces protective shell around the nucleic acid in a virus. It is also referred to as coat protein or head protein.  

Capsid acts as a distinguishing feature for identifying an integrated viral genome, plasmids and other genetic material of viruses. In fact, viruses are termed as organisms that encode capsid proteins.

If brine shrimp eggs were transported on shorebirds feet from a hyper saline lake into a less salty one

In turn, they would not be able to hatch, and then later on, reproduce, in order to expand their population and continue their species. </span>
