Answer: B.) To enclose the body from the outside.

Explanation:

An exoskeleton is a hard protective framework that encloses the body of the animal or insect from outside. It is mainly composed of dead tissues. It includes the some types of integumentary tissues which gives a body a hard cover. It provides protection to the organism against microorganisms, and against predators. It can be found in both invertebrates and vertebrates. In invertebrates the exoskeleton is a part of shells of snails , corals and others. In the case of vertebrates the exoskeleton forms the part of hair, nails, claws and hooves.

Researchers are learning that Schizophrenia is usually the result of
Travka [436]

Answer: (C) genetic predisposition along with an environmental trigger.

Explanation:

We inherit our genes from both parents. Scientists believe <u>several genes are associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia, but that no gene causes the disease by itself. </u>In fact, recent research has found that people with schizophrenia tend to have higher rates of rare genetic mutations and it probably disrupts brain development.

Scientists think <u>interactions between genes and the environment may be a reasoning for schizophrenia to develop.</u> <u>Many environmental factors may be involved, such as exposure to viruses or malnutrition before birth, problems during birth, and other not yet known factors.</u>

5.Do the differentiated teeth of the dolphin have specialized functions like our teeth and most other mammals
natta225 [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Dolphins are homodont. This means that all their teeth are all equal. They do not differentiate between each other as the human´s teeth or other mammal´s teeth.

Dolphins have different feeding strategies according to the species. They might be suction feeders, or they might catch their prey using the jow and mandible occlusion strenth.

Dolphins that catch their prey by using their jow and mandible do not chew, so they use teeth mostly to catch their prey and manipulate them before swallowing them. This is why they do not need differentiated teeth. Because they just use them to catch and manipulate.

Those dolphin species that are suction feeders do not need teeth to catch their prey because they just suck them. Most of these species only have a few teeth, mostly in their jows. These teeth are used for fighting with other individuals. Inter- and intra-specific fights among animals of the same gender and age are very common. It is believed that as these species do not need teeth for catching their prey, they evolved loosing most of them but those needed during confrontations. This is the case of <em>Grampus griseus</em>, Risso´s Dolphin, that only have 5 to 7 teeth in their jows.
