Answer: We have found fossils that share specific bony traits that are found only in all whales but absent in every other mammal group, indicating descent from a shared common ancestor with modern whales, and these fossils had legs fully adapted for walking on land, and fundamentally identical to those of older mammals that precede the shared common ancestor that these mammals share with whales.
This tells us that the shared common ancestor of whales and these mammals with legs almost certainly had legs themselves, and inherited those legs from their own older mammal ancestors.
Therefore, whales have ancestors in their lineage that walked on land with legs.
(We also have multiple fossils of ancient whales that had legs transitional in form between fully terrestrial walking legs and flippers adapted for swimming, and modern whales still possess a remnant hip bone buried deep in their bodies.)
Animal cell structures and organelles interact as a system to maintain homeostasis by making sure each part of the system works together.
Answer:
Bacteria play a central role
Explanation:
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which convert atmospheric nitrogen to nitrates. Bacteria of decay, which convert decaying nitrogen waste to ammonia. Nitrifying bacteria, which convert ammonia to nitrates/nitrites.
Answer:
Heredity.
Explanation:
Heredity refers to the traits or characteristics that is passed genetically from the parents to the offsprings or passed from one generations to another. It can be through sexual or asexual reproduction.
Heredity play role in our behavior, personality and mental processes because these all are determined by the traits or characteristics we inherited from our parents.
Answer:
When soluble soil nutrients from the soil are washed away due to to effects of rain,floods or irrigation from agricultural practices the process by which this occurs is called LEACHING. As water molecules pass through different soil layers,soluble soil minerals are dissolved and carried by the water into the ground water.
Phosphorus is a soluble mineral which is easily carried away by the passing water molecules,and therefore drained from plants' roots.
if these were leached into rivers and drinking water,this may affect the water supply of the community as the percentage of Phosphorus increases in the water especially if NPK fertilisers were used.
In addition, some important solid nutrients are also leached into the underground soil layer leading to deficiencies in the plants.
