Answer:

I do not believe mermaids exist.

Explanation:

I do not believe mermaids exist because of the biological incompatibility of the two systems. There would firstly be duplication of organs from the human-fish combination. Secondly, the skeletal structures would clash and create more incompatibilities. Thirdly, the structure of a lung would not work. Gills would not be able to work with the body structures of a mermaid.

Also, a mermaid would need to have fragments of fish DNA. DNA has very strong barriers across species. It is difficult for anything larger than a bacteria to take in any DNA from another species. The fish DNA and making it apply to only the legs would be impractical. If a human was to evolve to live in water, it would not evolve into a mermaid.

Which of the following best summarizes "The Land of Red Apples"?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

b) Zitkála-Šá traveled with several other children to a missionary school in the east. She was treated much differently at school than at her home, which caused her anxiety and pain. Her first night at the school, she cried herself to sleep, grieving the absence of her mother and aunt.

Explanation:

The arrival of Sa's at school was traumatic. All the kids got haircuts. Only enemy-captured cowards got haircuts in Dakota culture. Zitkala-Sa hid in a vacant room. The school personnel brought her out, strapped her to a chair, and chopped off her braids as she wailed. She later said that school employees didn't care about her sentiments and treated children like "little animals."

After a few years, Zitkala-Sa was allowed to visit her mother during school breaks. Her mother urged her to quit school during the visit. Later, she said, visiting home was sad. The teacher returned. She may have felt that she didn't belong on the reserve, like many children. School altered her.
