Answer:

DNA evidence revealed the American vultures share more recent ancestor with the Storks

Explanation:

The hooded vultures that is mostly found in the African continent have a close resemblance with the American vultures and were traditionally classified to belong to the Falcon family.

However, it was observed that the American vultures shared a similar behavior with Stork which is not common to the vulture found in Africa, including the hooded vulture. The Stork and the American vulture exhibit the behavior of urinating on their legs when being overheated. When the urine gets evaporated, it helps them to cool their body temperature.

This shared behavior between the storks and the American vultures led scientists into using molecular analysis in analyzing the DNA of the hooded vultures found in Africa, the American vultures, and the stork.

Evidence from the DNA analysis later revealed that the American vultures and the storks share a more common DNA sequences than African vultures and American vultures do.

DaniilM [7]

The sensory input initiated from the spinal cord before reaching to the brain . The information firstly goes to first order neuron where it receives impulses from skin and then transferred to the spinal cord.

Some sensory pathways consists of chain of neuron that transfer from receptor organ then to cerebral cortex that is responsible the perception of sensations. Sensory input is converted into electrical signals are known as nerve impulse.

This nerve impulse are transmitted into into brain. The correct order is Receptors - Sensory neuron- Spinal cord - Motor neuron- Muscle.

Impulse are the strong desire to act or that causes something to happen or happen more quickly.

What is the likeliest limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deep
serg [7]

Quality of light is the limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper

Explanation:

When sun rays pass through the water in the oceans, they are quickly diffused and cannot penetrate very deep into the deep water layers. Remember that phytoplanktons are photosynthetic organisms and hence require sunlight to manufacture their own food. They, therefore, cannot grwo in deeper layers of the oceans. They are only found in the photic zone.

The quality of light is especially of most importance and hence the major limiting factor. Red light, of longer wavelength, and which is the major wavelength of light that is used the most by photosynthetic organisms, diffuses very fast than blue light when it passes through water. Therefore the more reason phytoplankton is found in the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper.
