Describe how environmental changes can cause species to become extinct.

Many species, or at least the region they live in, need a relatively narrow set of environmental criteria to be true in order to survive.  For example, if an alligator in the Florida wetlands experiences a long-term drought, the plants that the smaller animals eat can dry up and those animals die.  Then the alligators have no animals to eat so they could die.  If this was to happen over a long period of time and on a worldwide scale, a species could become extinct.

I hope that helps.

If you are interested in the evolutionary relationship of animals that have four limbs, which of the following would be the outg
trapecia [35]

Answer:

  • First outgroup → Ray-Finned Fishes
  • Second outgroup → Sharks

Explanation:

The outgroup is the most distant taxonomic group that shares no traits or characters with the lineages of interest, which compose the ingroup. You can compare the outgroup with the ingroup to determine the evolutive relationship and which characters are primitive or derived.    

Even though the outgroup shares a common ancestor with the ingroup, this is placed far away in evolution, making the outgroup to be the taxonomic group less related to the other lineages. The lineages in the ingroup share another common ancestor that is more recent in history.

To select the outgroup, you need to focus on what you are interested in. There might be several outgroups, but you should choose the one that is more related or closer to the ingroups. This selection is important because you need to make comparisons to understand the evolution of specific traits.  

In the exposed example, we need to focus on animals that have four limbs. Then, we might assume that the ingroup is composed of Amphibians Crocodiles Dinosaurs. Sharks and Ray-Finned Fish do not have four limbs, so they might be considered outgroups.

From these two outgroups, sharks have a cartilaginous skeleton, while Ray-Finned Fishes have a bony skeleton. This fact makes ray-finned fishes more related to the ingroup than the sharks. So,

  • First outgroup → Ray-Finned Fishes
  • Second outgroup → Sharks

How do the geography and geographical features of your area affect the temperature?
kogti [31]

Answer:

An area's latitude on the surface of the Earth affects the weather because it changes the intensity of the sun's light that the area receives. Things like mountains affect the weather by directing air currents, which can send storms to you, or keep them away. If you live in a place with lots of vegetation, it will be more humid, and warmer, because the plants retain the heat.

The nurse is conducting a postoperative assessment of a client on the first day after renal surgery. the nurse should report whi
alexira [117]
The correct answer is "urine output, 20 ml/hour".
The minimum urine output for a healthy individual is 30 ml/hour, therefore this measurement of urine output is lower than what is considered acceptable. Urine output is an important assessment which can help the monitoring of renal function. Since the patient is recovering from a renal surgery, a significant low urine output should be reported to the healthcare provider.
In a patient recovering from a surgery, a slight increase in temperature is expected. So is the absence of bowel sounds and a small amount of serous sanguineous drainage.
