Answer:
Microevolution refers to evolution at or below the species level.
Explanation:
- If the change occurs in the short period span of time within the specific species then this type of change is refereed to as the micro evolution.
- Micro evolution is occurred in between small group of animals or species.
- If the evolution is expanded to community or large population it is not considered as a microevolution.
- Microevolution may be caused due to mutation, selection, gene flow and genetic drift.
Answer:
Cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx.
Explanation:
Vertebral column or spine is made of a total of 26 vertebrae in adults. Starting from the upper part, it has 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, one sacrum, and one coccyx.
The coccyx is made of four fused coccygeal vertebrae. Likewise, the sacrum consists of five sacral vertebrae that are fused during development.
Sternal angle marks the joint between the sternum and the 2nd rib.
Option E.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Sternum is the breast bone which is a dorsi ventrally flattened bone present in thorax of human. It gives the support for the ribs where the ribs join. A sternum has three parts - Manubrium sterni, body of sternum and the xyphoid process.
The sternum has attachments of a total of 10 ribs and clavicle. The clavicle and the first rib joins in the Manubrium sterni, and the 3rd to 10th rib joins in the body of sternum. The 2nd rib joins in a facet which is partly in Manubrium sterni and partly in body of sternum. This place id also called the sternal angle. So the sternal angle marks the joint of 2nd rib to sternum.
Answer:
There are two types of ecological succession:
Primary succession:
Primary succession occurs in areas which were previously devoid of life. There were no organisms living in this area before. For example, lands after new glaciers or volcano eruptions. Firstly, microorganisms begin to habitat this land, followed by plants like lichens, shrubs etc. Finally, complex life evolved from these.
Secondary succession:
Secondary succession arises in areas where life existed before but was destroyed due to natural circumstances like flood, fire etc. Small grasses inhabit this land first which are taken over by trees over period of time.
The correct answer is E. Vertebrates are all related to a common ancestor
Explanation:
According to biology and evolution, organisms from different species but that share similarities in morphology (body structures) as well as in genetics often have a phylogenetic relationship which means they descend from the same organism or share a common ancestor. This applies to multiple taxonomical levels including classes such as mammals or birds as it has been proved each of this derived from a common ancestor. Therefore, the similarity in the body structure (morphology) in all mammals suggest vertebrates are related to a common ancestor and as they evolved from this, they share similarities not only in terms of morphology but also in genetics.
