Answer:

The correct answer is - transitional fossil between fish and amphibian.

Explanation:

Transitional fossils is a fossil that remnant of an organism or life form that shows the characters of an ancestral species and current descendant of species. These fossils are use as the evidence and study of evolution of the descendant from the ancestral group.

In this case discovered fossil had scales, gills, fin, and neck bones which helps in the proping itself out of the water. These characteristics are common in the fish and amphibian that suggested that it is a transitional fossil between fish and amphibian.

Thus, the correct answer is - transitional fossil between fish and amphibian.

Why are finches important to Darwin's idea?
marissa [1.9K]
It helps to give solid evidence of natural selection. The idea is that there are a number of finches in the Galapagos Islands. These birds vary slightly in appearance, in the function of their beaks and in size. Two species can eventually alter themselves because of the environmental conditions they live in. Some traits will be passed on or developed in one group and not in the other or vica versa. These finches are remarkable in that it did not take long for the changes to take place. It is probably one of the strongest reasons for believing in natural selection, because only those birds who could adapt to change could easily pass on these advantages to their offspring. The relatively short period of time to enact these changes is what makes the this example  so attractive.

Define mutagen and describe how mutagens are used in genetic research.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

A mutagenic agent is any chemical, physical or biological compost that can induce a mutation in the cell's DNA, making this mutation pass to the next generation.

Mutagenic agents are widely used in the fields of biotechnology, genetic engineering, medicine and agroindustry. This is because these agents have helped in the advancement and development of new technological tools.  

In genetic research some bacteria and viruses are used by agribusiness companies to obtain transgenic beings. These mutagenic (biological) agents act as vectors of laboratory-created genes that will insert these genes into an organism to be modified. It could be, for example, a gene that will improve maize resistance against a pest. Thanks to mutagenic agents, this genetic information can be passed on to the organism, in this case, the plant.

Barnacles and mussels are filter feeders that attach themselves to rocks in the intertidal zone. A scientist observed a dense co
baherus [9]

The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.

In, addition to water, what would most likely be found in a plant central vacuole?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer would be c) food molecules.

A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle present usually in the center of the plant cell.

It contains a high amount of water as it plays important role in maintaining the turgor pressure of the cell.

In addition, it contains a high amount of ions (such as K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺), food molecules (such as glucose, sucrose, fructose), organic acids (such as malic, tartaric, quinic) and waste material.
