Answer: The correct answer is -

C. bony fish.

The bony fish evolved into two distinct groups, which are Sarcopterygii that contains the lobe-finned fish and Actinopterygii that contains ray-finned fish

The lobe-finned fish further evolved and gave rise to the tetrapods (which are the vertebrates with four limbs), represented by amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

These lobe-finned fish evolved and developed multi-jointed leg, such as fins with digits, which helped them to crawl along the side of sea.

Thus, they resulted in the evolution of amphibians.

Therefore, option C) Bony fish is the right answer.

rusak2 [61]

Answer and Explanation:

The retina covers the internal phase of the eye. It characterizes by its complex interaction between many morphologically and functionally different cells, which are located in many layers. The principal processing mechanism in the retina is lateral interactions among cells, and the most common lateral processing is lateral inhibition.

Photoreceptors are those cells that receive the light and translate the luminous signal into an electrical signal. These are the cones and sticks.

The horizontal cells intervene in the lateral spatial interaction between photoreceptors.      

Bipolar cells receive information from the photoreceptors and from the horizontal cells and transmit it to the most internal layers in the retina.

The retina is stratified into five layers. One of these is the external plexiform layer, a contact zone between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and other cells.    

In the vertebrates´ retina, the lateral inhibition is produced for the first time in the external plexiform layer, through the horizontal cells. These cells connect to photoreceptors, other horizontal cells, and bipolar cells. The connection between horizontal cells might reduce or amplify the photoreceptor answer, and this last one is transmitted by the bipolar cells to the interior of the retina. In photoreceptors, there are two connections to horizontal cells, a direct connection, and an indirect one. The connection between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells is known as lateral inhibition. By this inhibition, photoreceptors allow the contrasting perception in an image. Lateral inhibition allows discriminating one stimulus from other stimuli, by enhancing contrast and definition. The inhibitory modulation is produced by the inhibitor neurotransmitter GABA.The spacial extension of lateral inhibition changes according to the adaptation to light. Gap junction between horizontal cells and between photoreceptors and horizontal cells might vary with the amount of light.

Which explanations provide support for continental drift theory? Check all that apply. Dinosaurs lived on many continents. Coal
Andrei [34K]

Answers

The explanations that provide support for continental drift theory are;

• Coal fields match up across continents

• Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas

• Similar rock types are found across continents

• Evidence of glacier can be found in South Africa

Explanation

According to Alfred Lothar Wegener in his studies on the origin of continents and oceans, he outlines that the theory of continental drift can be supported by five evidences which  are; the jigsaw fit of the continental alignment, geological fit, tectonic fit, glacial deposits and fossil evidence.
