Ans.

Vestigial organs or structures are those structures that are no longer functional in current organisms, but were functional in their ancestral organisms. Examples of vestigial organs include appendix, hairs, and tailbone in humans.

-Tailbone in humans is a vestigial structure as humans do not have tails. Tailbones are functional in monkeys as they have long tails, which they used for balancing. Hence, 'tailbone in humans' correctly matches with 'balancing in monkeys.'

-Eyeballs in cavefish are vestigial organs as eyeballs are non-functional in cavefish. Cavefishes cannot see as they lost their sights during evolution as it is not necessary since they live in dark caves. Eyeballs are functional in whales as they provide eyesight to them. Hence, 'eyeballs in cavefish' correctly matches with 'sight in whales.'

-Pelvis bones in whales are vestigial structures as there is no role of these bones in whales. Pelvic bones are functional in frogs, as their limbs are attached to the body with the help of pelvic bones. Hence, 'pelvic bones in whales' correctly matches with 'attachment point for limbs in frogs.'

I believe it should match as the following...

sight in whales -----> eyeballs in cavefish

balance in monkeys -----> tailbone in humans

attachment point for limbs in frogs -----> pelvis bone in whales

Bronchiole dilation resulting from chronic infections is present in ____________. bronchiectasis chronic obstructive pulmonary d

zavuch27 [327]

Bronchiole dilation resulting from chronic infection is present in pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, sleep apnea, asthma and emphysema. Tuberculosis is caused by tubercle bacilli that has invaded the macrophages resulting into a walling off lesion by fibrous tissue to form the so-called tubercle. Pneumonia is mainly caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, infection can spread by extension of bacteria from alveolus to alveolus in the lungs. In this disease process, the gas exchange function of the lungs decline in different stages of the disease.

Answer:

1. Because the drought reduced the number of seeds and finches with bigger beaks were able to eat the larger and harder seeds so more of them survived.

2. Summary: Changes in the size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such as insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers as well as blood from iguanas, all driven by Darwinian selection

3. Medium ground finches with larger beaks could take advantage of alternate food

4. three species of Darwin's tree finches have been known to inhabit Floreana but no birds singing that song on Floreana have been heard in many years.

How does the number of hydrogen atoms compare to the number of oxygen atoms in ribose

zalisa [80]

Answer: Ribose C5H10O5

Explanation:

Ribose is a carbohydrates with the formula C5H10O5. This molecule is pentose monosaccharide which has linear form of H−(C=O)−(CHOH)4−H. The hyoxyl groups lie in the same side in the form of Fischer Projections.

The number of hydrogen atoms are double in number of the oxygen atoms. The ribose sugar is found in the RNA.

It is the genetic material which is found in some of the organism that carries information from one generation to another.
