Answer:

D. all of the above

Explanation:

Australopithecus (first ape-man): Australopithecus is considered as the connecting link between apes and man as they shared the characteristics of both. The fossil records shows that they appeared around 5 million years ago. Australopithecus africanus was about 1.5 meters high and had human as well as ape like features. It was with bipedal locomotion, omnivorous in their diet and had erect posture. It had human like teeth with small canines and large chewing teeth. The brain was more like an ape with the brain capacity of about 500 cc similar to that of an ape. He lived in caves, had projected brow ridges with no chin. Its believed that Australopithecus africanus gave rise to Homo habilis about 2 million years ago.

The earliest species of Homo genus is Homo habilis. They were skill full man also called as handy man or the tool maker. He had erect posture with bipedal locomotion. The teeth were like modern man. He was skilled and made tools with stones. Slowly with evolution the prognathous face changed to orthognathous in cro magnon (Homo sapiens fossilis).

Three examples would be gamma rays (usually these rays are emitted from unstable isotopes and can be used in nuclear experiments and testing) ultraviolent rays that are emitted from the sun and can cause sunburn and even skin cancer because the rays mutate the DNA in the skin cells nucleus. And also X-Rays, microwaves, and radio waves, which is usually harmless because it isn’t enough radiation to mutate DNA in our cells

I hope this is what you wanted

In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a low-pressure system system blow ___. ?

Lelu [443]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

A. counterclockwise toward the center

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

In the Northern Hemisphere, winds associated with a low-pressure system blow in a counterclockwise direction towards the center, while those that are associated with a high-pressure system blow in clockwise direction outwards from the center.
In the Southern Hemisphere on the other hand, winds that are associated with a low-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
The rotation of the earth creates a force called the Coriolis force, which gives the wind that is within high pressure systems a clockwise circulation in the northern hemispheres and a counterclockwise circulation in the southern hemisphere.
