Answer:

<em>Thermotoga maritima</em> is a bacterium that have similar genes of most of the archaea that live in similar extreme environment is most likely the result of lateral gene transfer.

Explanation:

This bacteria contain certain genes that are extremely similar with the genes that are present in archaea. This is a example of lateral gene transfer where  acquisition of  genetic material takes place by another organism without being it's offspring.

Prokaryotes can exchange genes under highly selective condition through lateral gene transfer that enters in to the body of diverse bacteria where the genes involve in several functions like metabolic function, transport of energy transcription, gene regulation etc.

Describe how lung volume affects pressure and therefore air movement.
gtnhenbr [62]
Lung volume varies from larger to smaller. People with smaller lung volumes have slightly smaller lung capacity with the partial pressure of oxygen being lower as well; while people with larger lung volumes have increased capacity of processing air. In terms of air movement, larger lung volume can contain and established more control of air getting inside and outside the lungs compared to smaller lung volume.

The bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird pictured above suggest that they share
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: The correct answer is-  bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird share common ancestor.

Bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird are the homologous organs.

Homologous organs can be described as the organs of different animals, which possess same basic structure but perform different functions.

For example- The flippers of a whale and forelimb of man, bone structure of the baleen whale and the hummingbird.

Baleen Whales and hummingbirds have a basic tetrapod skeletons, which is inherited from a common ancestor. But their bodies have been modified and they have lost parts through natural selection. This results in different adaptation in the form of their respective lifestyles over many years.

What is the dark organic rich material formed as a top layer in soil from the decayed remains of plants and animals
vovikov84 [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Dark rich organic material formed as a top layer in soil from the decayed remains of plants and animals is called humus.  </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When dead parts of plants and animals are deposited in soil the <em>decomposing bacteria present in the soil act on these remains and break them down.  </em>

Plant and animal bodies contain organic compounds which are broken down into inorganic nutrients by the decomposers. These nutrients are taken up by producers and the nutrients restart their journey in the food chain.  

<em>Humus is identified by its rich dark color. The amount of humus decides how fertile the soil is. More the humus content fertile is the soil.  </em>
