What environmental pressure would cause primitive fish to adopt the genetic capacity to live on land?

Biology
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago

Answer:

Decrease in water/oxygen levels of the aquatic environment

Explanation:

<u>The environmental pressure that would cause primitive fish to adopt the genetic capacity to live on land would be a decrease in water levels of the aquatic environment.</u>

A constant decrease in water level that keeps exposing the fish to dry land will enable natural selection to start selecting for traits that will enable them to survive on land, especially, the development of lungs in the place of gills, the capacity to walk instead of swimming, and the capacity to avoid desiccation.

<em>A decrease in water level will mean a decrease in the amount of oxygen available for gill's respiration. Respiration is an important process for any organism to stay alive. </em>

<em>A decrease in water level also means an exposure to sun. The heat from the sun could cause death by desiccation.</em>

<em>A decrease in water level means that movement (through swimming) will be limited. Movement is necessary for feeding and other biological activities.</em>

Stem cell and cancer question. Please answer Asap!!
malfutka [58]

Metastasis will happen and cancer cells invade nearby healthy cells, tissues, lymph nodes, organs or will migrate to distant organs.

The two different types of stem cells broadly classified as  are Embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are obtained from the blastocyst layer of the embryo and are pleuripotent. Whereas adult stem cells are the undifferentiated cells from tissues of an adult or a child. They can be unipotent or multipotent.

Explanation:

Cancer cells migrate to other parts of the body via blood and lymphatic system. This is called as metastasis. Cancer cells when becomes tumour they develop their own blood vessels and obtain nutrients from them. Once the tumour gets big it pushes the normal healthy cells of the neighbouring tissues and keeps on spreading.

Stem cells obtained from the embryo can differentiate into any types of cell and when grown in-vitro can dramatically form the three germ layers.

The adult embryo cells are found in less quantity, their role is to repair the tissue they reside in.
