Stels [109]

Answer:

1. Transverse foramina present: Cervical

2. No canals or foramen present. It articulates superiorly with the sacrum: Coccyx

3. Receive the most stress: Lumbar

4. Attach to ribs: Thoracic

5. Articulates with hip bones of the pelvis: Sacrum

Explanation:

The vertebral column is a series of 33 bones called vertebrae that play a key role in organ protection, movement of body, and overall support. The column has been divided into 5 different regions with the number of bones.

1. Cervical Vertebrate: These are the group of seven vertebrae of the neck, start immediately below the skull. Two cervical bones C1 and C2 are unique in function. They are responsible for the movement of the head. They have transverse foramina which gives passage to vertebral artery and vein.

2. Thoracic Vertebrae: They are a group of twelve small bones that form the vertebral spine in the upper trunk. The function of the thoracic vertebrae is to articulate with ribs to produce the bony thorax.

3. Lumbar Vertebrae: This is the largest segment of the vertebral column that consists of 5 bones between the rib cage and pelvis. They carry all of the upper body weight providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region. This is why it can receive the most stress easily.

4. Sacrum Vertebrae: There are 5 sacral vertebral fused bones. It connects to the hip bones and play role in forming a strong pelvis.

5. coccyx Vertebrae: These are a group of 4 fused bone. There is no vertebral canal due to a lack of vertebral arches. They provide an attachment site for muscles ligament and tendons. They also play a role in stabilization and support while sitting.

Answer:

D. Changes in the environment changed each morph's ability to evade predation in different ways.

Explanation:

The moth species Biston betularia has two color morphs, or variants. One has a speckled white and black color, while the other is all black. Over the period of time, the distribution of moths dramatically changed between 1900 and 1950 in such a way that black morph became dominant but speckled morphs became very much declined in abundance. The reasons behind this change was heavy industrial pollution in UK between 1900 and 1950.

When the environment became very polluted, dark and blackish, the speckled moth had more chanced of getting eaten by predators thats why they declined in number as compared to black morphs. On the other hand, backgrounds of grime and soot made black morphs less visible to the predators and they survived well. This is an excellent example of natural selection that only those specie better survive that have the ability to cope better with adverse environmental fluctuations.

Therefore, option D is best option.

Hope it help!
