Answer:

Coelacanth

Explanation:

coelacanth is the extinct species that were present some 80 million years back on earth. These are large fishes with hollow spines that are attached to their bodies. They were usually of length approximately 2 meters and their body weight was about 200 pounds. From the research, it has been found that they live for nearly 60 years or even more than that. They have a distinct type of adaptive nature commonly called tapetum that is usually found to be present in the case of dolphins and dogs and their eyes are very much sensitive to the light.

By using the radioactive dating method, it has been determined that these fossilized coelacanth species were present about 350 million years back. This organism was recently caught off the coast of Madagascar in 1938.

Answer:

<u>Coelacanths.</u>

Explanation:

Coelacanths (seel-a-canths) were once known only from fossils and were thought to have gone extinct approximately 65 million years ago (mya), during the great extinction in which the dinosaurs disappeared.

If a somatic human cell is just about to divide, it has __________ chromatids.
diamong [38]
If a somatic human cell is about to divide, then it has 92 chromatids. this is because there are 23 pairs of homologues chromosomes in a cell, one is given by both parents. when a cell divides my mitosis, the pairs separate into 46 chromatids, each one that is replicated which gives you 92 chromatids.

Alika [10]
I believe one needs information about the individual's Age, Weight, Height, and Gender. 
The Dietary reference intakes define the daily requirement for energy as Estimated Energy requirement. The EER is based on calculations that account for an individual's energy intake, energy expenditure, age, sex, weight, height, and physical activity level.

Match the following.
valkas [14]

Answer:

1 . The stage on the first meiotic division when the homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles but the sister chromatids remain together

: b. Anaphase I

2 . The stage in the second meiotic division where sister chromatids migrate to opposite poles

: c. Anaphase II

3 . A structure on the chromosome that holds a pair of chromatids together during replication

: f. centromere

4 . A double-stranded chromosome following replication attached by a centromere

: d. chromatid

5 . A condition where non-sister chromatid of homologous chromosomes exchange genes

: e. crossing over

6 . The stage in the first meiotic division where the homologous chromosomes line up as a pair

: a. Metaphase I

7 . The stage in the second meiotic division where the chromatid pair lines up at the equator of the cell: g. Metaphase II

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the interphase of the cell cycle. The replicated DNA molecules are accommodated in two sister chromatids of a chromosome that are held together by a centromere.  

During prophase I, the chromatids of a homologous chromosome pair exchange a genetic segment. This process is called crossing over. It generates recombinant chromatids with new combinations of genes.

Metaphase I of meiosis I includes the alignment of homologous pairs of chromosomes at the cell's equator. This is followed by separation and movement of homologous chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell during anaphase I.  

Metaphase II of meiosis II includes the alignment of individual chromosomes, each with two sister chromatids, on the cell's equator. During anaphase II, splitting centromere separates the sister chromatids which then move to the opposite poles of the cell.

Ways in which mangroves maintain proper internal salt balance <br><br><br> (pls answer)
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

Root membranes prevent salt from entering while allowing the water to pass through. This is effective at removing the majority of salt from seawater. The red mangrove is an example of a salt-excluding species. On the other hand, salt excreters remove salt through glands located on each leaf

The difficulties of maintaining a long-term immune memory to influenza viruses are due to _________.
gogolik [260]
I am certain that the difficulties of maintaining a long-term immune memory to influenza viruses are due to the Antigenic shift from zoonotic sources. 
The adaptive immune response is intiated when the DCs present viral antigens to the naive and memory T-lymphoctes. During an influenza infection, the antigens are acquired by the DCs through two different mechanism.
