Answer:

c. Ductus venosus, vena cava, heart, ductus arteriosus, arteries

Explanation:

The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels. In a fetus, the circulation of blood is different from circulation after delivery largely due to the fact that the lungs are not in use, rather, the fetus obtains oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the placenta and the umbilical cord.

Blood from the placenta is carried to the fetus by the umbilical vein. While some of this blood enters the fetal ductus venosus and is carried to the inferior vena cava, some others enter the liver. The blood from the inferior vena cava then moves into the right atrium of the heart. The foramen ovale, an opening between the right and left atrium in the fetus directs most of the blood flow from the right into the left atrium, thereby, bypassing pulmonary circulation. Most of the blood from the right atrium flows into the left ventricle and is pumped through the aorta to the rest of the body.  

Some of the blood from the right atrium however, enters into the right ventricle and is pumped into the pulmonary artery. The ductus arteriosus which is a special connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta in a fetus, directs most of this blood away from the lungs and into the arteries.

Explain what are co-evolved mutations and how can they help with predicting protein structures?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is as follows.

Explanation:

Coevolution is a phenomena where two related species evolve at the same time since they share a close relation. For instance, the relation between a predator as its prey or a virus and its hostage. This phenomena helps to predict protein structures, since by revealing the higher order structure of a protein we can predict the structure of other protein that have coevolved with it. This has been used in several studies, such as one 2015 study of Pandini and collaborators entitled "Coevolved Mutations Reveal Distinct Architectures for Two Core Proteins in the Bacterial Flagellar Motor".

How do most fossils form? Be sure to explain your answer.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer and Explanation:

Fossils can be formed in a variety of ways. First and foremost, organisms that possess bones (or shells) are the best candidates for fossilization because these structures commonly remain in fossilizing substances such as mud.

The most preserved fossils come from animals that die in aquatic environments or in environments that have a high level of humidity. This occurs because the animal gets buried in a sediment like mud, leading to the decomposition of soft structures and the fossilization of hard structures, such as bones. As layers of sediment are added, the dead body of the organism becomes a fossil.

Also, animals can leave well-preserved fossils during volcanic eruptions when they get trapped in hot ash flows. In addition, this could also occur in tundra ecosystems when animals get trapped in ice, leaving a well-preserved fossil inside. Moreover, plants are also fossilized, this generally takes place in sediments such as coal.

Finally, paleontologists are able to find the fossils once they become exposed thanks to a process called erosion.

1)  Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide.
Trees are an important part to this planet because they take the carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen.  When deforestation occurs, there are less trees to do this, resulting in more carbon dioxide in the air.
