In 2006, scientists found a fossil that seemed to have fish-like scales and four legs. It also had a bone structure in its neck

that suggested it could move its head. This fossil was given the name Tiktaalik and its discovery turned the scientific world upside down.
What evidence does the discovery of Tiktaalik give to support the theory of evolution?



A. Tiktaalik shows that land animals and fish are not as closely related as once thought.



B. Tiktaalik shows that land animals and fish developed from completely different ancestors.



C. Tiktaalik shows that fish decided to grow legs at some point, which allowed them to walk on land.



D. Tiktaalik shows that extinct species are related to modern species, which supports the idea of common ancestry.

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Scientists found a fossil of a fish with four limbs or legs. The fossil was estimated to be around 375 million years old.  

The fossil showed the fins and scales of a fish but they also possess the bones of proto-wrist, shoulders and the elbow.

The presence of these bones can be a clue that the fish evolved the limbs to walk on the land and will later evolve into animals belonging to amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Therefore, the Tiktaalik is considered the missing link of how life evolved from water to land.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

classify if the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis is represented as c, classify the following genotypes as homozygous dominan
Verizon [17]
C = dominant
c = recessive (cystic fibrosis)
CC, cc = homozygous (homo = same)
Cc = heterozygous (hetero = different)

Recessive traits are expressed only when two recessive alleles are present

If you get CC, you will not have cystic fibrosis. (<span>c </span>is the cystic fibrosis allele)
This person would be homozygous dominant and would not pass on the disease because they do not have any cystic fibrosis alleles.

If you get<span> Cc</span> you will not have cystic fibrosis b/c the<span> C</span> is dominant and overrides the cystic fibrosis allele c.
This person would be heterozygous and, though they do not have the disease, they would still have a chance of passing on the disease because they carry the cystic fibrosis allele.

If you get cc you will have cystic fibrosis b/c c is the cystic fibrosis allele and it is not being overridden by a dominant allele.
This person would be homozygous recessive.
