Peristalsis is the name for the waves of contractions that propel substance s along a tract. It is a series of wave-like contractions that moves food to different processing stations in the gastrointestinal tract and starts in the esophagus when the boluses of food are swallowed. The wave motion is produced by the longitudinal smooth muscles that line up the esophagus, stomach, small intestines and the colon and is triggered by presence of food.

Fynjy0 [20]

The correct answer is anaerobic exercises. Anaerobic exercises is an intensely done activity, wherein the body’s call for oxygen goes beyond the oxygen source accessible within the body.

Is extensive loss of hair observed in humans and whales an example of homoplasy or homology? see section 25.1 (page 497) ?
marin [14]
I believe that hair and limbs are homology because all mammals have hair and similar limb structure. Hair loss and social behavior on the other hand are homolasy because not all mammals have them. Homology is the similar traits due to common ancestry while homoplasy is similar traits for other reasons other than common ancestry.
